Trojans...

Although your standard MR redemption entitles you to only standard accomodations, my experience is that Marriott never fails to recognize their best customers whenever possible. I wouldn't automatically expect an upgrade to a suite or anything like that, but in my experience, its not at all unusual to get a more modest type of upgrade....perhaps a larger room, corner room, or something like that. Also, it never hurts to ask the hotel directly what might be available.
