In contracts, there is a concept called "Contra proferentem". When there is ambiguity in a contract, you interpret it in factor of the party that did not write the contract. Marriott is who wrote the contract, not the customer. Marriott can change/clarify its wording at anytime. In this case, that means the contract should be interpreted in a way that favors the customer.
at best, this is a creative argument but not one that would pass muster.
There is no ambiguity in a contract to interpret: the contract was voided by the customer who decided they no longer wanted what they agreed to terms to buy. The number of nights is plainly a material term, and there is no ambiguity about that
