Chose to do 3 nights at the Marriott so I can burn some Bonvoy points before the devaluation. 200k points for 3 nights in a $1400/night room seems like a solid redemption. Don't know anyone in their right frame of mind that would ever pay to stay at the Marriott though.
Good plan Enjoy best part is no matter what room you get frankly I would save the 650 your going down the street to the Andaz which was a nice place even when it was a Renaissance.
