There are still some properties in the US that haven't made the switch. I just booked one that offered 3pm day prior cancellation listed in their T&C's and my email conf.

Actually, I would like to see the hotel guarantee my reservation and room. If I have to cancel two or three days before check-in then they should have to do the same if they are going to be overbooked. How long before a hotel has to drag someone out the building because the person's booked room isn't available?
This is not a Marriott brand property, but the Hampton Inn in Clackamas, OR still lets you cancel by 6 pm on day of arrival for paid and award stays. That property used to be real good for point and cash stays when you could get them for $40+tax and 8k Hilton points under the old points and cash with Hilton. They are customer friendly, put out a better breakfast than most Hampton properties and often sell out.
