I stay at Marriotts and Hiltons frequently. What I like to do at checkin is demand the 75 cent credit to the hotel charge because I don't want the USAToday paper. They always credit without complaining.

I've noticed more and more patrons doing the same thing. I suspect Bill Marriott has noticed the trend. It's like a tea party in the lobby only more selective.
