Re: Splitting up a Marriott two bedroom unit to rent the studio portion (by Den):
Lock-off is a very easy thing to do and works very well. We own a Grand Chateau week in Las Vegas and do the lock-off every year. You can then rent the single units out, trade them as single units through Interval, etc. My best use has been in trading 1 bedroom units through Interval for "right sized units" for my wife and me in Hawaii and Boston. Some do the lock-off and then use the units for 2 consecutive weeks. Lock-off is a great feature of week ownership.
