Leaving honest reviews while on Explore rate

So what is the right etiquette here? I like writing reviews of my stays and most of my stays are at
the luxury brands so they are usually effusive and positive.

I am now in an awkward position of staying in a newly opened StR and after re-reading my review, it is not a good look for the hotel. It’s not scathing either but it’s nitpicky about how brand standards are not being met and service delivery is unpolished.

Of course I don’t want to get my form pulled.

Thoughts? I typically post to Marriott Insiders FB group, google reviews and here.
