In my experience it was probably part of the “boiler plate” list of defenses:

latches
estoppel
failure to mitigatge
unclean hands
failure to state a claim
etc

I have seen answers with 27 affirmative defenses all listing the same BS.

if Marriott management persists in this legal tactic, we will viral market them to a single digit occupancy rate.

tell everyone. tell family. tell friends. tell visiting business guests. tell them all to avoid the place. suggest the westin. suggest the delamar. suggest the motel 6. post it on bulletin boards and chatrooms.

Avoid the Stamford Marriott, and its evil management.

Ahh, the true colors of the hospitality/travel industry….

Need to manage own physical risks in choice of hotel, valet parking vs garages, choice of cab/limo (avoiding the inevitable inept, unsafe driver in a dumpy car), caliber of plane/airline/pilots, etc etc….minimizing one’s risks takes some money and common sense risk judgment

Money will never compensate for or cure irreversible physical harm/disabilities/infectious diseases anyway
