Yes you will be charged cash. The only flexibility is throwing yourself on the mercy of the hotel, but it isn't going to be that likely, here is a recent discussion, and whilst you may not agree with it, they are the rules and Marriott' system will automatically enforce/do them:
No show fee for reward stay
So, just be attentive - and don't forget about timezones (some hotels will say 6pm, some before midnight, some 24 hours in advance etc etc.)
