Marriott Introduces Workspace On Demand
Saw this on MR's Facebook page. Ability to book workspace/meeting rooms online and via mobile app. How does the points/night credit work with these? Are they treated as an event?

"Looking for a place to work or meet for a few hours or days?
Marriott has teamed up with LiquidSpace to make flexible work and meeting space easy to find and simple to reserve, just like a hotel room.
With Marriott Workspace on Demand, you can book a space to work, meet, connect or collaborate..right now.
Give it a try. Select your state to search great spaces to work at participating Marriott, Renaissance and Courtyard hotels in your area."

Most of the properties are offering free reserved areas at Courtyards (in public places - like the lobbies). The ones that are by the hours virtually certainly would not carry the 10 EQN offer.

I guess I don't see the point of most Marriotts doing this: reserve a spot in the lobby for free with free WiFi when you're not a hotel guest of MR member. Are they counting on getting a lot more F&B revenue from this when it doesn't seem to be required? Does anyone understand their business model?
