Wish Marriott would have a second room with a genuine 50% off for people in our situation
Why should the hotel (since they are the ones losing the revenue, not Marriott) offer a second room at 50% off? Should I also get 50% on a second room because I have kids? Should I get 50% off a second room when I'm traveling with my mother? I'm all in favour of reasonable accommodation for disability - like wheelchair accessibility, the availability of accessible rooms, etc, but I don't think there's a case as to why profit making businesses should compromise their profit 'just because'.
