Unfortunately I am not sure about who to escalate to in Marriott, but good luck in your pursuit, and hope you prevail in them removing it. Seems their position is that they are un-bundling the charges... But I guess that argument doesn't hold up if the overall room rate was more than your confirmation email said.
Wonder if they charge the fee if you're paying with a Marriott gift card!
