I did not stay at the Marriott, but did hear of this "spam".  I do believe
it is just the same as spam in that it is uninvited or encouraged.  I pay
for the privacy of my room and would greatly resent an intrusion by anyone
uninvited.  If it's a welcome they wish to impart there is a time and place
(the expo) for such, and my personal private space isn't it.

Subject: [RM] Hotel room spam

It is not spam.  It is a familiar corporate sign to personally welcome you
to the event.  Now days, if you attend a lot of conventions or even weddings
for that matter it is a common practice to find a gift waiting on your hotel
bed.  Companies or individuals can pay up to $25 for each delivery. I can
imagine the money Iron Mountain put out to welcome us all.
