Marriot International officials will meet with pro-family leaders in May to discuss the sale of in-room pornography at some of their hotels.
The discussion comes after 47 family groups, including Focus on the Family, sent a letter asking the hotel chain to stop offering porn in its rooms.
“My hope would be that Marriott will decide to drop the pornography completely," said Bob Peters, president of Morality in Media. "My fear is that they will decide to drop the most explicit material and offer a less explicit form of pornography.”
Randy Sharp, director of special projects for the American Family Association, said in-room pornography disqualifies Marriott from touting itself as a family inn.
“This is certainly something that Marriott should not be promoting when they promote themselves as a family hotel chain," he said.
Omni Hotels and Best Western Hotels have policies prohibiting in-room porn.
