As we know, tourism is the worst hit industry from this COVID19 pandemic. During the hey days, an empty hotel room will cost >RM400 at city centre or even more if it's rated 5-star and above.
Hotels these days have very few visitors and holiday makers (due to government's MCOs restrictions). Yes it's the right choice for a responsible government to do in order to minimize the risk of transmission and not to overload the medical system.
Marriott being one of the largest group in the world has allowed those hotels to subscribe to them to drop prices to pull in value holiday makers and fill up their rooms. I have stayed at the Majestic Hotel, Aloft Hotel KL and The Element KL couple of times due to the cheap offerings made, which in normal times I would probably not willing to fork out the amount for it.
1. Marriott now allows you to buy more points at get 60% more.
2. Extend all Free Nights till Aug 2021
3. They are promoting the Hotels' restaurants and takeaways. I do not know whether you would like to order a takeaway or not from Le Meridien KL's Prime and eat it at home - I probably not, considering that the price that you pay supposed to come with the ambience, service and the setting of the place. Else, it probably shouldn't be worth that price.
