His justification was that they have to hire two security guards to patrol the lot (not sure if it's true or not. Even if it was, why 2? Also, I'm Titanium as well, so I told him to go pound sand and I'll go to a different property for a 4 month extended stay.

This is the best way to respond if you indeed have a choice. I have done this several times with properties where I did not agree with policies. Not sure it makes a difference but when enough people do it they have to start looking closer
