Marriott customer service can't even understand what I am asking when I sent an email inquiring about the fee, and calling the hotel front desk doesn't provide any information since they don't know either.

How can these hotels be charging a fee and not even tell you what it is for?
You shouldn't pay any fee that wasn't presented during the reservation process. A hotel or Bonvoy can't change the terms of a confirmed reservation.
