Conclusion
This must have been very unfortunate situation for Marriott. They had to throw out the paying guests when the Saudi government took the hotel over and communication lines were cut off too.
Saudi Arabia has been contemplating opening the country for tourism. Not sure how this would work with female and minority travelers.
Right now it is quite difficult place to visit for non-religious or business visits. Transit visa would always be possibility though if flying on Saudia
