The long copy/paste could have been much better simplified as "book Hilton or Hyatt next time, Marriott doesn't want your money, fool".
Of course, unsurprisingly based on this nonsense, asking them to review the decision has led to no response back.
Did you explain the late check-out scenario to them? There are other cases e.g. wrt international date line that they 'can' resolve. Not automatic (which is understandable) but the this 'can' post correctly.
