At first, I actually prompted them that it should be a credit - they'd nod and say "Sure, of course it's a credit" and than post the adjustment. I stopped bothering.

If they ever did this in a place where hotel taxes were very low, I'd probably make sure they got it right. In Seattle, where this usually happens, hotel taxes are around 15% Technically, them posting it as an adjustment probably works out in my favor by a couple of pennies on the dollar. (I value a Marriott point at about 1 cent.)
