Did you get it in an email?

I did a Google search on that email address and the only result was a withdrawn craigslist ad for volunteers in MD area.

And the name in your post refers to a marketing person located somewhere in DC

I would say it's legitimate...

Marriott HQ is in Bethesda, MD as far as I know...So that person probably works in Bethesda and lives around the DC area.

They probably tried to do a CL ad first and when that didn't return enough volunteers or they are expanding it into a bigger study.

Yes, Marriott HQ is in Bethesda, MD; however, their MAILING address is Washington DC:

Marriott International, Inc.
1 Marriott Drive
Washington DC, 20058

It sounds legitimate to me.
