If you are attacked in a Marriott hotel parking garage or lot, too bad, so sad. You should have known better.
I've always been a big fan of Marriott hotels. I can't think of one time when I've stayed in an accessible room that wasn't. (Traveling with a wheeler.) The staff have been pleasant but not overbearing or sickly sweet.

Marriott eventually - three years later - issued an apology but apparently not directly to the victim.
A woman was leaving the hotel with her two little kids. She was in the garage, packing up, when a rapist grabbed her, put a gun to her head, and sexually assaulted her.
And the Marriott lawyers said, hey, it's her fault.
If you're a person with a disability, your risk of being victim of a violent crime is 4% - 10% greater than an AB's.
Not a pleasant thing to think about, but it's a consideration. Especially if you're staying at a Marriott.
Grrrr...
