Rooms for Day Use

Do rooms booked for day use count toward elite nights? I searched but did not see it on Marriott.com. Thanks.

I wouldnt believe so, as its a generally cheaper rate than the standard rate at a property. Personally, I would hope not because it would be another way for people to devalue the program.

Try giving Marriott a call and ask them for the reference to their T&C.

Thanks. I've not had the best luck with consistency in responses to other questions.
I'm seeing rates about 85% of evening costs, so hoped they would count.

Per one of the Marriott Bonvoy Lurker's response in the How do I book a day rate? thread, no night credits (which makes sense), but you would still receive any "stay" based bonuses you are eligible for.

As with many things Marriott, its likely a case of YMMV. The official answer seems to be no which means clamming nights in the event they dont post automatically will be problematic.

So no stay credit for a day stay... but if you flew on elsewhere to spend the night you would likely get credit for that I trust? A guess...

Technically you will get a "stay" credit, but no night credit as you won't spend the night. Back in the SPG days, getting a Stay credit meant something (i.e. credit toward elite status). Marriott though doesn't have a "stay" base for elite status on "nights".

But if Marriott were to have a stay based bonus offer, a day rate should apply toward that bonus offer.

Also, you may well find that there are local offerings which are not published and which receive no benefits, but can be very cheap if you have limited needs, e.g. 5-6 hours. Call the property directly and speak with the FD.
