Conclusion
This offer can work for those that don’t care earning Marriott Rewards points. Note that the rate that is tied to the promotional offer is likely the Best Flexible one making the bonus miles very expensive.
Here are the terms and conditions:
Offer is available at participating Marriott® hotels 7 days a week throughout Europe. Limited number of rooms available at promotional rate, blackout dates and other restrictions may apply. Rates listed are per room per night and based on availability at the time of reservation. Some hotels may display rates excluding VAT and city taxes in some markets. Upgraded rooms and family rooms may be available at a limited number of properties and will attract a supplement. Blackout dates may apply. Promotion cannot be combined with any other offer and has no cash value. Offer may be applied to one regular room per stay, per member, based on double occupancy on dates listed. Base miles will be earned in addition to the 500 or 1,000 bonus miles available on this promotion for each paid stay. A “stay” is defined as all consecutive nights spent at the same property, regardless of check-in/check-out activity. Marriott International has the right to change or cancel the program at any time.

I noticed this promo quite accidentally by staying at “Marriott Courtyard Istanbul airport” recently. First strange thing is that Marriott mobile app brings up this promo rate without entering any promo code, while at marriott.com, you need to enter the code. Second strange thing is while Turkey is not on the list of participating hotels/country in the promo page, in fact this promo rate is available in most of Marriott in Istanbul. Third strange thing is, only with the case of this particular hotel, this (refundable/cancelable) promo rate is actually 10 euros cheaper (about 33 euros) than their (non-refundable) member rate (about 44 euros) which is the lowest rate without any promo code. And what’s amazing is that this promo rate includes breakfast at this hotel (I was surprised to hear this as the hotel usually charge 15 euros for breakfast even for Gold/Plat members). So you pay about 35 euros with promo and got breakfast and got +500 miles. What an excellent deal. I will stay one more time again before leaving Istanbul to take an advantage of this deal. So I think it’s worth playing around a bit to see what the actual rate is with this promo.
[just a little correction] Turkey is on the list of participating countries of this promo (Eastern Europe).
Marriott uses this M11 promo code for various promotions and not just this one. Likely that there is another promo for stays in Turkey (maybe another countries as well) that uses this M11 code.
