If this was truly the case, this would be the final straw in truly becoming a free agent and loyalty would be gone from my end. It is already challenging looking at other hotels in certain areas where pricing can be much less in instances in comparison to Marriott pricing. Hopefully I am incorrect but very glad I secured a couple of these hotels prior.
