Trust Marriott to do the right thing the wrong way.
Lol. Being from an "eco-conscious country in Europe", this idea sounds just as offensive to me as to others here.
I do have my own water bottle (since I'm from an eco-conscious country in Europe, though I only use it for gym), but couldn't imagine paying USD 15 for some ugly hotel branded bottle of dubious quality. Even less wanting to keep the bottle with me afterwards.
