Comment That's a bad look on Marriott. (Score 4, Insightful) 46
In a situation like this where the occupants aren't at fault, you honour the reservation for the duration of the stay, and you comp the rest of the stay ("It's on the house.")
In this way you generate a ton of good-will for the Marriott, and positive word of mouth advertising that you only wish you could buy on demand. Marriott decided to take the low road and kick the occupants out mid-stay. Bad form.
