What ever category hotel, and season (low/high/regular) they are in, there is no way you can negotiate points for nights as it is all set up by Marriott "certificate" system and the hotel need to have that "certificate" to get reimburse from Marriott

Another way is using your points for folio, 250 points = 1 USD, if you can negotiate the price down below their value. eg. JW Marriott Bangkok right now running THB 1,988++ (around 75 USD) they need 35,000 points on normal stay, you can use points to pay for room charge instead so that would be 18,750 points
