I don't get the CY hate. I've stayed at one several times in recent months and I'm regularly upgraded to a suite. It also seems to be the cheapest Marriott (any brand) in the state and I'm getting great value with the current promotions. Cash price is in the $70s/night, 3x the points (the global promo and targeted promo) and $20/day at the market for free beer/wine/snacks. So, daily rate + tax - cash back - value of the points and I'm paying high $50s/low $60s per night plus free food/drink that I would otherwise pay for (but not the inflated CY prices - so let's value it at $10ish). Works for me!
