That'd be a nice way to handle it, but Marriott refuses to provide e-mail addresses for properties....

It might even enable you to check in early, in some cases.
Where does this happen? I've never had online check-in show a room#. Most of the time when I stop by the front desk, they still have to make the keys, go through the normal processes of checking in, regardless of whether I did online check-in or not.
