New York Marriott Marquis No Free Nights?
I search out through next year. I searched unpopular dates Sunday night in February. The only thing offered is a Deluxe Room for 45,000 +100 dollars.
Am I missing something or does this hotel not offer free nights?

Just looked using flex night search for 45,000 points which are available each and every day in the rest of Sept and October.

I also found it funny that a 385 sqft "Superior" room is 45K+$100, but a 480 sqft "Premier" room is 45K+$70. My guess is that it has to do with the view - the former explicitly lists a Times Square view.

This might be a dumb question, but did you scroll down? It looks like this is one of those properties that shows the Points + Upgrade options first, with standard redemptions listed below that. My search for the night of Sunday, February 11 showed that.

That is the issue. Strange that they would sort that way. Thanks

Marriott should really fix it. It's not logical to display the "pay to upgrade" options first.

It's not logical, but I bet there are people who don't even blink and then pay the upgrade fee because they assume that's the cheapest (or only) option.
