I even had the exchange rate printout from the marriott (thanks for the tip from Sam - DFW), but he insisted that the hotel didn't have a local rate. My wife was waiting in the car outside, so I didn't argue with him for long. Obviously, I didn't take his lowball "offer". This marriott is the largest in Houston. It is my first time using PP; needless to say, my experience has been terrible.
