Don't fall for Marriott's scam telemarketing "free vacation scam". After getting 3-4 robo calls a day, I tried to get taken off their list. They wouldn't listen to anything, but just kept pushing the sale and finally relented saying "they'd think about it". That's the same rude attitude I've received when I've gone somewhere and had to choose between a Motel 6 and the Marriott. The decor looks nicer, but the rooms are just as smelly and dingy (in fact, I never found a used condom at a Motel 6, but I have at a Marriott). I'd sleep in my car before I'd ever stay at another Marriott. Obviously they reduction in quality is being felt in lower occupancy rates so they aren forced to resort to heavy handed telemarketing.
