Another day, another brand from this company: Series by Marriott, a "regional collection brand" that kicks off in India by integrating The Fern, The Fern Residency, and The Fern Habitat brands into the collection.

This is the brand positioning statement:

Series by Marriott is designed to deliver a simple and approachable experience for travelers with a focus on fundamentals and well-executed basics. Hotels in the portfolio will offer quality and value with clean, comfortable rooms, free Wi-Fi, daily coffee or tea, with breakfast, fitness centers and meetings and event spaces available at certain properties. Hotels will reflect the regions and customers they serve while delivering Marriott’s global standards for safety and cleanliness. As part of the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, members staying at Series by Marriott properties will be able to earn and redeem points and enjoy member benefits.

I'm reading this as Tribute Portfolio Lite, and my guess is it'll earn half the points and half the nights as the program continues to dilute into watery nothing.
