I've read some of those, but assumed that they were based on what the poster was told by local hotel management. ("Marriott told us not to..."). In other words an accurate post of what property management told the poster, but not definitive as to whether local management was being truthful or simply putting the blame where it didn't belong, when denying a benefit or extra perk.
