Whilst I understand the disappointment, it cuts both ways and if you have not actually paid for a suite (or used an upgrade award for it) this is exactly how I wish more properties handled late check out for elites. I often just book the suite I want outright for a longer stay these days to guarantee it and it's incredibly annoying to be kept waiting long beyond the official check in time because all the suites are still occupied by elites with guaranteed 4pm check out who haven't even paid for said suite. Where I know I'll be arriving before 5-6pm, it puts me off booking Marriott hotels these days.
