What proof do you have of this? I have actually stayed in the same FS marriott as the man himself was staying at.

When you are hired you sign up to either work the 9-5 or work weekends....its no surprise nor would it piss them off.

Next time you are in a Marriott hotel that is obviously empty (dead time of the year, parking lot empty, Sunday night, etc), get up early and look at the newspapers by the doors. I guarentee you are clustered together unnecessarily.
I used to work for Marriott...and we would make a point NOT to do this, and for this exact reason. Now that i travel it is my experience that this is the exception, not the rule.
