Katie's Take
Why this card might (or might not) be right for you.
A no annual fee Marriott Bonvoy® card. Does offer a pathway to the Ritz-Carlton® Card if you hold it a year or more. To get that, you might need to upgrade to a Boundless card and then call back and upgrade to the Ritz card. Current rules can change.
Marriott hotels are priced variably so it can be hard to know exactly what to expect to pay. You can check out this map for inspiration for family friendly Marriott hotels.
