Yeah, but I don't forgive Marriott for buying out the Gino's chain and converting them to Roy Rogers restaurants in the first place.

EDIT: I looked it up for the timing of this (1982), and found that not only did Marriott buy Gino's, convert a bit over half to Roy's and close down the rest, but they also closed and sold the RUSTLER STEAK HOUSES, most of which became Sizzlers.

Damn. I may never stay at a Marriott-owned hotel AGAIN.
