One of the reasons that Marriott has slipped to #3 on my list of preferred programs. For work, my budget is usually FI/Courtyard/HIX/Hampton. At least with Hampton and HIX i can (most of the time) know what to expect. Not fine dining, but consistent. Current preferences are now Hilton, IHG and then Marriott. Sad that they have fallen so far.
