We originally booked this and it was free for us using two of Brittany's sign-up bonus nights that she got for the Marriott Bonvoy card.

Now, the promo was five nights once you hit the minimum spend of 50,000 points per night. So we used two of those nights here at this location, which saved us collectively about $500, $600.

So, if you're interested in getting this particular card, the Marriott Bonvoy card, send me a DM and I'd love to send you a referral link.
