Almost every hotel company will run a background check to weed out unhirable candidates. The interviewer is asking this question to screen you should there be an issue. This is the best time to be forthright and honest about any issue you might have, like a criminal record. Full disclosure may not make you exempt from employment with Marriott - they may need to understand the charge and assess the risk.

"I am more than willing to comply with a background check; however, I will disclose to you that I have a mark on my record from a marijuana possession charge 12 years ago. I was a teenager at the time and regret that choice. It's best you know from me as opposed to finding out through a background check."
