Which Marriott? The Hotel or the Executive Apartments. My guess is that it is the Executive Apartments. Either way the answer may be found at
marriott.com at this link.
If it is the Executive Apartments then your buddy may be out of luck and may earn no points due to the length of stay, or possibly 2.5 points per dollar spent for the first 180 days. See details pasted from marriott.com below:
Marriott Executive Apartments®
Marriott Executive Apartments offers residential accommodations with hotel-like amenities to business executives on overseas assignments. Earn 2.5 points for every US dollar spent on stays of 1 to 180 days. Points are earned on the member’s individual room only. Check with the property for specific terms of its participation in Marriott Rewards.
As stated above I would get the hotel's points policy in writing either before signing an agreement, or included in the agreement. I do the later when I do meetings/events, otherwise no points.
