I travel a lot for my business, I can say that my experience with Marriott depends of the specific hotel you are visiting, there is not the same treatment for you as a customer in each of them. Some of them are great, most of them they are not.

On a trip last year to Beijing, China we stayed in the Marriott NE. The entire staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. Also discussed various room options that ended up including a world class breakfast buffet and sky lounge amenities that saved us money. Super clean and modern hotel. Highly recommended.

All over these United States, as I travel, I stay at Marriott properties, I always find the cleanest rooms and enjoy wonderful service from everyone there. The small conveniences make a difference, like the breakfast they lovingly prepare for on-the-go, the friendly check-in and check-out, even help getting luggage to the room!

I stayed at the one located in Houston. It was nice, price was a touch high, but it was close to where I needed to be and the room was clean and comfortable. The pool was available and the front desk answered all of my questions.

A guest can book any hotel under the Marriott umbrella and receive the same level of professionalism and great service. It's gratifying to know that the brand is consistent with its products. Great value with excellent customer service.

During my business travel days, if I were visiting a city I’ve never been to and have no idea as to the safety or the cleanliness I would always choose a Marriott hotel or Marriott Suite Hotel. Why? Because could always be assured that the sheets on the bed were changed. There was always a restaurant either in the Hotel or next door, their safety procedures are superior. Parking is never a problem. Their associates are always kind, professional, and always go out of their way to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. I like the Marriott brand because as a business traveler I can always count on the best.

I love The Marriott but sometimes some of the amenities are not available. I always choose The Marriott but there have been times the lounge/bar area on a specific floor area not open for the entire duration of my stay. Sometimes I’ll call the concierge to bring up towels or fix the TV and they tend to take a very long time. I have been to some excellent ones and some not so excellent ones. Overall I will always choose Marriott hotels.

When I travel I like the continuity of quality in hotel standards which I find to be consistent in Marriott properties. I am also acutely aware of the need for security, being an over 50 female and have never had concerns with Marriott. Whether it be help getting my bags or escorting me to my car if I arrive or depart during early morning or late evening hours. The cleanliness of Marriott properties have never been a disappointment - especially in these trying times, cleanliness and safety are of primary concern. I have never encountered staff that were not very helpful and always willing to help. In addition, the staff is knowledgeable and not averse to asking for assistance if they are not sure of the answer - rather than just blow me off with some generic answer. I would highly recommend this hotel brand for quality and excellence.

I love that they were pet friendly. But I constantly had to request for maid service every day. Also, an earthquake occurred and when I called down to the front office they acted like it was no big deal. It was a 7.1 earthquake. The whole building Shook and I was on the tenth floor and it was very upsetting. When I ask for specifics on the protocol I was told a manager would call me back because the person at the front desk did not know. The manager never called me back.

Stayed at Marriott before pandemic. Room was beautiful and spotlessly clean. Bathroom was well equipped. Also very clean. Bed was, as usual for Marriott, the best. Check in was very easy and agents were extremely helpful in a city we did not know well. We had only breakfast and it was wonderful. The price was a little steep, but you get what you pay for. We had an awesome experience and recommend Marriott.

When there are so many negative things going on in our lives, I wish I could write something positive. However, we are in an era where money has more value, so I want to create awareness about the loyalty programs that companies are marketing very successfully. Unfortunately, these loyalty programs may not be as beneficial as we are promised because I recently experienced Marriott’s member benefits fiasco after three years. One of the biggest mistakes most of the companies are making is being dishonest with their customers. However, they aren’t aware that a single customer counts and their dishonesty can kill their brand. As a customer, when we discover their deceit, we lose trust and confidence in their brand and look for other options.
Last week, I felt cheated when I found out that I could book Marriott hotels cheaper when I book through other travel websites. Not only was I very disappointed with their fake exclusive member price promises, but also with myself too because I always brag about my smart decision-making skills. I was a loyal customer over the past 3 years. Somehow blindly, I believed that they provided a competitive price and booked all my hotels through their websites. Last year, I was a Titanium Elite member. You need to have 75 or more qualifying nights to become eligible for it. This year, I’m a Platinum Elite member. You need to have 50 qualifying nights to become eligible for it, which is quite an investment to spend on one brand. Also, I was using their credit card until last week.
I was thinking that I was saving money with their member benefits. I value my money because I work very hard for it, and I always do my best to spend it smartly. However, it seems like I made a big mistake over the past several years by assuming that Marriott provided better member rates than any other travel web sites. By using the Marriott loyalty program, my goal was getting their promised exclusive member rate for the hotel stays and other benefits such as complimentary breakfasts almost at all the hotels, an opportunity to have a late checkout, and receive Marriott points. Sadly, it never occurred to me that the same hotel room could be cheaper at other travel websites.
We had a weekend trip, and instead of booking our hotels through the Marriott website, we booked it through Chase Travels, which uses Expedia. I compared the prices with the Marriott website and found out that it was cheaper on Chase Travels. It was annoying to see the price difference, but it got worse when we arrived at the hotel. It was one of the Fairfield hotels, and I mentioned to the receptionist that I was a Platinum member. He said, “It does not matter because you booked your hotel room through a third party.” So, we weren’t provided welcome points, late check out options, and a warm welcome for being loyal valued customer. I thought that the receptionist was inexperienced and decided to send an e-mail to Marriott later.
The next day, I debated between Hampton Inn and Marriott. I told my husband that I wanted to try again with another Marriott Brand. This time, I decided to record the prices, so I can have an evidence to make my argument with them. I booked a Courtyard Marriott Hotel through Chase Travel, and it was $25.00 less than the Marriott member rate. When we arrived at the hotel, I mentioned that we are a platinum member. We were told that since we booked our hotel room through a third party, it didn’t matter what our membership status was—no warm welcome for being a valued loyal customer, no breakfast, or any other promised benefits.
Also, when I received our invoices, I wanted to enter the missing nights in the Marriott system. The first question addressed whether or not we booked our hotel room through a third-party website. So, regardless of what you pay, more or less, the system doesn’t even allow you to submit the night request if you booked the room through a third-party. I felt cheated, because over the past 3 years I was paying stupidly more money to be able to get qualifying nights thinking that I was saving money. Not only was I wasting my money, but also, I was recommending to all my friends and bragging about the Marriott benefits. Unintentionally I was helping them to waste their money too.
So, I’m asking the Marriot management: is this your way to make money from the innocent people, who believed in your brand and became loyal members to get your exclusive member rates? Obviously, if the third-party travel agencies provide better prices than your member prices, why in the world should we pay more through your website? If it is your member benefit rule to book rooms through your website, why doesn’t Marriott offer a price match? Also, Marriott is still making money from our stay, so why are we getting punished for it? My husband and I decided not to be part of Marriott anymore. I will never recommend them to anyone, and I will share my experience with all my friends and families. All I can say is, their dishonesty will kill their brand, and I won’t waste my money with their hotels, credit cards or anything related to Marriott.

This is for the Le'Meridien Hotel in Arlington Virginia. First Review May 3, 2020. We stayed four nights & the friendliness and professionalism of the staff was appreciated. The downside, we checked into the hotel to relax and decompress and not to play ring around the room. We had to change rooms twice due to maintenance issues which we felt should have afforded an automatic upgrade offered by the staff to accommodate for the inconvenience that we experienced of having to get redressed and packed up twice to go to several different floors. However, the third room was a charm. Overall the service and experience was great but could have been exceptional.
Second Review May 4, 2020. BEWARE!!! The "General Manager" Hazel is spiteful and vindictive. Yesterday, I left an unfavorable review. Directly after that my card was charged $106. Today, I called Le'Meridien to inquire about the charge. Hazel the "General Manager" informed me that I was charged a cleaning fee, I asked her what for? Hazel stated that housekeeping had to clean up blood in the room. I asked her why wasn't I contacted in regards to this matter before my card was charged? I never received an answer to that question from Hazel. Then, I asked her how can you definitively determine that what you thought you saw was in fact blood? Do you have a degree in forensic science? Hazel stated that as the "General Manager" she has had biohazard training, REALLY??? I am appalled and offended at Hazel's inaccurate conclusion.
Does biohazard training give Hazel permission to accuse without inquiry? How does Hazel know what she that she saw was indeed blood without adequate testing? It seems as if Hazel might be in the wrong profession. As Le'Meridien's "General Manager" Hazel needs more training in resolution and communication. Her overconfidence is distasteful and disdainful. This is my second unfavorable review in regard to her unprofessionalism. In the midst of the pandemic that we are all in, unwarranted accusations are never acceptable or appreciated. My husband and I will definitely not be returning to Le'Meridien. We have warned our friends and family not to patronize this hotel from this point on. Le'Meridien has their "General Manager" Hazel to thank for the loss of business. THIS REVIEW HAS MYSTERIOUSLY BEEN REMOVED FROM LE'MERIDIEN'S WEBSITE ONLY TO BE REPOSTED….

I had room reservations to the Delta Hotels by Marriott Burnaby Conference Centre for a business trip. Due to the Covid-19 crisis and now Canada closing its border with travels restrictions, I had to cancel my trip. I called to cancel my reservation 3 days in advance, but Marriott still would not refund my pre-paid money. Basically, Marriott is in business to rip consumers off by charging the full amount even if the reservation is cancelled in advance and no one is using the hotel room. I'm very disappointed in this hotel chain and the lack of customer service. I will make every effort never to use them again. They successfully robbed me of $318, but lost a customer for life. Hope they are proud of themselves.

Terrible customer care and major lack of humility. Crisis in our state and the whole reason for booking with them was to attend an event. Canceled for precaution along with many other events throughout NC, and I was told I will be charged for canceling my reservation bc I was within the 48 hour window. Absolutely Ridiculous! I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and would sleep in my van before staying in a greedy, money hungry establishment as this. Sadly the event will more than likely be rescheduled and I can’t even count on my fingers how many people are refusing to stay in this hotel based solely on the way we have been treated.

I had to speak to the manager over housekeeping to get some help. By far, this has the be the most horrible experience I've ever had at a hotel. Lastly, she was on her phone, talking loud, and went outside talking on her phone where everyone could hear her conversation. When the Expedia customer service agent call the hotel she kept them on hold for 20 minutes while she walked around. Thanks to her I will never stay at a Marriott property ever again!!!

I'm a Marriott Vacation Club and Timeshare owner. I recently booked a trip through Marriott for my hotel stay. There are two Marriott hotels in Ghana. One in Accra and the other in Takoradi. I was told of the one in Accra booked to the one in Takoradi got stuff with paying for travel to Takoradi which is four hours away. The staff and booking agents were confused themselves and Marriott complaint network seems protective of customer reviews being posted to reveal the truth. The food and staff were friendly but the room was showering area was sub par for a 4 star hotel.
It was quiet and peaceful in Takoradi but the mall and stores were few seeing it is so far from the capitsl. I was told of free transport to the airlines upon leaving and they knew I came from Accra because of my late arrival. In a rush I was put in a taxi heading back to Accra with a driver who wasnt tied to Marriott but ok with the hotel manager.
The small room couldnt be upgraded to a suite because of air conditioning upgrade taking place. Water dripping from the ceilings in the dining area. Slow draining sinks and dirty showers. Plus confused staff. My worse vacation experience ever. The one star was for those who tried to accommodate my frustration in a very confusing situation caused by misinformation on the staff of Marriott booking and hotel staff. I hope no one will ever have to be dealt the same level of confusion from a 1 star or 4 star hotel.

As a member of the Bonvoy Marriott, I am very upset how they treat their members. I have booked 4 rooms for my employees as I am the one that is paying for them and they said I will not benefit from getting any points as I am not staying at the hotel myself. I will now go out of my way to book with other hotels that treat me better. My employees would never choose Marriott, they would all go to other hotels. I guess I don't get any benefit for booking, paying for 4 rooms. My employees get to stay and get the points even though they don't pay. Such ridiculous terms. Well their loss, I guess I'll book through Expedia from here on. Not only do they not treat members fairly but it took me 4 phone calls and three emails to sort out a very simple problem of merging two member accounts that were opened by Marriott. This all makes sense, they don't want member points to accumulate. I am happy to take my business elsewhere.

Granting the acquisition of Starwood hotels is a costly mistake. Overall service quality across the chains degraded substantially. Boutique hotels that offered great customer service after acquisition are getting constant flow of business and does not care about customer service anymore. If FTC surveys a consumer feedback of confirmed guests stayed at Marriott hotels, it will get a resounding disapproval from majority, which will prove that the merger did not benefit the consumers. Compare the company’s financial profit for the same period and it will also provide that it benefited the company greatly. So the question is when will FTC notice and take action?

I stayed at the Elements Chandler (AZ) Fashion Center hotel over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Service was mediocre at best, after requesting a room with handicapped access for my mother and having to switch rooms. But it gets better.... On the eve of Thanksgiving, a storm occurred and a tree - YES A TREE - blew over and damaged my new car. I immediately contacted the front desk staff who ASSURED me that Marriott would take care of the damage and make it right. Fast forward to 2 months later and I'm told that they are not responsible for damage to the car, as there are signs clearly posted in the parking lot advising that. Vandalism and theft, I can understand. But a TREE???
They are not willing to do anything, telling me to go through my insurance -- which will cost $500.00 deductible. So my stay at this hotel turned very expensive, and Marriott will do nothing for the customer except say "Screw You". They also said they tried contacting me to advise me of this - I was never contacted by the Customer Care Rep. Not even a goodwill gesture for future use - just "too bad, not our problem". I will NEVER stay at another Marriott, and doing the travel for 700+ staff members, never again will they be booked at a Marriott facility. Be warned, because Marriott doesn't honor their ethical codes and could care less as long as they get your money.

Apparently, according to Marriott Corporate office, it is normal practice to "put a hold" on funds even after you have checked out and been charged for your room. I was told at check in that there was a $20.00 charge on top of the room charge for incidentals. When I returned home, I checked my account and there was a $315.00 hold on my account. When I called to complain to the GM she informed me this was normal practice. How can a company take liberties like that and hold your account hostage even after you have paid.

First, let me say that we have been Marriott Loyalty Members and Marriott Timeshare owners for 20 years or so. Tonight's experience with a Loyalty Representative was a first. Here is what happened. We went to the Bonvoy App to modify the dates of our stay but the page instead updated the rates TO DOUBLE THE RATE WE HAD and DID NOT EVEN CHANGE THE DATES. I immediately called Marriott Courtyard Reservations and explained the situation. The first Representative was helpful, understanding the issue but could not change the rate back nor change the dates so she connected me to the Loyalty Representative who she thought could help me.
He was HORRIBLE!!! He did not care about ANYTHING except to talk over and through me. I was so shocked. He claimed this was my error and that eventhough it made no sense to me to change a reservation to pay more, he said it was something that was done all the time to get more points. Well, obviously this wasn't our case but that didn't matter. He was rude and unhelpful. I had to cancel our Christmas trip because I couldn't pay double the rate. My husband and I are scheduled to listen to a Marriott Bonvoy presentation in April and were strongly considering expanding our membership. Absolutely not anymore. I know that our measly membership means nothing to Marriott but that's okay because we won't be expanding it due to this Representative. Marriott, you can do better. This looks bad on you.

In July 2018, I reserved a room for Atlantis Bahamas using the friend and family rate on the Marriott website. Marriott said in order to receive the special rate I had to pay the entire bill immediately. Items included were room, service charge, resort fee and taxes. I paid in full. One year later I stayed at Atlantis who refused to honor my reservation and told me I only made a deposit. Atlantis charged me almost additional 1000 for a paid in full room. I contacted Marriott over and over again. They deleted all of my info on Bonvoy regarding Atlantis. Despite the fact numerous Marriott people telling me Atlantis should not have billed me over and above what I had agreed to. Not one Marriott person stood behind and told Atlantis to remove the charges.
I did a dispute with my credit card and won. The this November, Atlantis rebilled me for the over charges. I filled another dispute and cancelled the credit card. The charge has once more been denied by my credit card. I reached out to Marriott again. But the contact I had in the corporate office never returned my email. I am absolutely horrified that Marriott is allowing a hotel under their franchise to rip off guests and not protect the guest at all. If you go to the Bahamas do not stay at Atlantis.

Thats what restaurant floor manager and staff believe in!!! You ask for uttapam, then rest of the add ons are not part of it!!! Thats what chef/ floor manager/ restaurant and food and beverages head believe in!!! So basic level staff is out of question to even know about the basic of the hospitality!!!
6. And last but the most important, at least have 10 mins of extra time and non sensitive temperament to waste water.... as generally it takes such ling time for the hot water to appear. (Generally this case is at night.)
Hope Marriott rating body/ governance takes some serious note!!!! Or i definitely see the gust turning away to other property!!!! Once again..... basic/ very basic attitude/ knowledge of hospitality should be taught to all the people in this hotel!!! And one should start with the general manager only!!!! Samir.

After booking a hotel with points collected with the Marriott hotel, I was charged $750.00 on my visa. I have never given the Marriott rewards service my visa information so this puzzled me. After calling the hotel they informed me that this was the deposit required for the visit and this would be refunded upon checking out. After checking out with no refund I called the hotel which informed me that the charge was made by the rewards company. The rewards company representative informed me that this was a mistake and that a refund has been issued and will appear in 5-7 business days. After waiting this period with no refund I called the rewards company which informed me that I had actually purchased points for the stay.
They have been unable to substantiate this with a receipt and actually hung up on me when I requested the receipt. It has been unnerving to know that the rewards company is free to charge your visa without providing it, and that they cannot confirm their charges with receipts. Avoid staying with Marriott and if you must - provide cash.

Once you stay in Marriott hotel, you can not in any way stop them from calling you every day. The automated calls gives you the option of opting out, but they use a different number every time. You can't even block them because they have so many numbers. We have decided not to ever choose them.

I have stayed at this St.George Marriott several times previous. The rooms have usually been okay. However this time right when I walked into the room I saw and smelled that it was disgusting! I went down to the front desk and asked what was going on with the room. The front desk personnel could not have cared less. The next day when I checked out at 6 in the morning, I asked the front desk person again why the disgusting room? I asked what notes were written under my name? They replied, "Guest will accept any room". I am writing this review so people will know to ask what shady notes the front desk personnel have written about them. I have always tipped the maids and been an excellent guest. In this Marriott hotel kindness is a strike against you!

I often travel for work and use a third-party agency to reserve the hotel. Marriott refuses to recognize these reservations to give points. And per business rules, I only have to book using this agency. (I am sure this is the case for most of the business travels). Marriott is being very cheap/silly in categorizing these reservations and avoid giving points for some. They should realize I brought the business to Marriott by reserving in their hotel and it is common sense to reward for the stay. I have contacted their support and they say they cannot process these requests. So I have stopped staying at Marriott and now staying in another hotel chain that truly rewards me for staying with them irrespective how the reservation is made.

My family and I have had good stays at the Marriott. However, in the past year, the barrage of calls from Marriott, for repeat business, is driving me crazy. I've tried talking to the person on the other end of the line, when I get past the robot and to a human, but nothing is ever done.

On Saturday, August 6 at a recent NABJ 2019 Conference in Aventura Miami was a horrible experience because of the J. W. Turnberry Marriott Aventura location with its over the top hotel security detail. I find their behavior to be discriminatory, rude, disrespectful and discourteous. I sustained a preventable shuttle injury accident because of poor customer service in general but the hotel's poor shuttle service waiting over an hour running all around the J. W. parking area for a shuttle back to the A C Marriott overflow. Even when I called Lift Service, the hotel parking employees failed to notify me that Lift driver was there twice.
For starters this Marriott inappropriately cancelled NABJ members reservations that were booked back in October 2018. I happened to take over one member's reservation Online Confirmation Number: **, Marriott Confirmation Number: ** that was cancelled back in October for dates August 6 to August 11, 2019. She made a complaint with the hotel and NABJ. By the time reservation was restored, she was unable to attend. I had already booked another reservation with one of your other overflow hotels at AC Marriott Aventura Miami.
I spoke with a Ms. ** who made the reservation in my name. She ran my credit card and the reservation was approved for August 6 to August 11. When I arrived on Tuesday it was raining and when I arrived at J. W. Turnberry Marriott Aventura a bellman told me to leave my bags with him outside in the porter area. He directed me to go inside to hotel check in. A lady with a foreign accent ask my name and for credit card. She then said something was wrong with the transaction. It didn't go through. I asked how much she was charging to my card. First she said the amount was $1,000. I gave her a second credit card which she was charging a $500 for incidental fee which no one informed me of this when I arrived. This bickering went on for hours without any resolve.
I met a nice lady from the conference and she allowed me to put luggage in her room as I was concerned with them being left out of my sight in the valet area. Meanwhile I telephoned my bank and they informed me that J. W. Turnberry Marriott Aventura had charged my card $900.00 and refused to offer me a room which is very unprofessional and fraudulent. After finding this out I was pretty much done with them and went to AC Marriott Aventura, one of the NABJ overflow hotels. The room was nice, the price was good and I ended up staying there.
Everything was fantastic until Saturday when I arrived at the J. W. Turnberry to attend workshops. When I needed to return to the overflow AC Marriott, the valet at J. W. Turnberry convention told me the shuttle bus pickup was at hotels front entrance. I waited and waited at the front entrance and never seen any shuttle bus to go back to the AC Marriott Miami Aventura. I even called Lift a personal service, but their valet did not inform me they had arrived and was assessed a fee. J. W. Turnberry put a damper over conference from the beginning when I arrived on Tuesday. My conference was not enjoyable and Saturday, the one day I could have had some enjoyment before returning back to Maryland was ruined by the injury and being at the hospital hours.
I would never recommend the J. W. Turnberry Marriott Aventura Miami hotel. The A. C. Marriott Aventura Miami staff was very nice and professional. The room was nice. The shower was very nice. Although since both hotels are Marriott, I do think the A. C. Marriott could have cancelled their reservation which would have made it easier on the customer. Instead of putting the me in the position of negotiating reservations with two hotels that were apart of the NABJ conference. The customer shouldn't have been put in the position where they had to be on the hook for paying for two hotel reservations totalling upwards of $2,300.

As a single mother of 4 children living paycheck to paycheck, I was finally able to take my children on a summer vacation right before school. We have 2 destinations. We get to our first destination and had to change plans. I immediately call Marriott customer service, explain how we couldn't make it to the next destination. The young lady booked me a room for two nights and the lady then assured I wouldn't pay a cancellation fee. What a relief. I was so thankful. Due to the change I ended up paying more for my stay than expected.
We get to the room and they say, "We are sorry but we cant give you the room you booked. We have to split y'all up due to renovations and the agent who booked you didn't know." We checked into a smaller room for the time being because they only had one room ready. We waited a few hours for the other room to be ready and though it was on the same floor we had to walk a good distance back and forth all day everyday during the trip.
The hotel staff was amazing by the way, you shouldn't trade them for the world by the way. When we check out I get my receipt and the hotel split my charges in two so I would show I've paid for each room. Before I could leave the room I see a charge for 99.60 on my card and I'm like, "Oh no. What is this." After pulling up my account and seeing it's from the hotel that was cancelled I immediately call customer service because this will mean there will not be enough money on my card to cover my stay.
I got the runaround over a few days which has now turned into almost two weeks. Customer service said, "Wait 3-5 days for the DM of the hotel" and the hotel said, "It's up to customer service and their DM." The charges sent my account into a negative state and not only that but I was assessed two charges of $22 for overdraft at my credit union. So I'm $143.60 in the negative. Right before school this has taken from my children's shopping and has me upset still with no resolution and way past 3-5 days. Bad taste in my mouth.

Do not park your car here in their "cheap parking" and take their shuttle to the airport! When I left my Suburban in their care, I came home from vaca, got shuttled back to the hotel to find my Suburban with the back ajar and NO back seats anymore! When I walked in to report the incident they were more interested in letting me know they had a tiny sign posted outside that they never pointed out to me when I got there late at night in the dark and didn't have me sign anything or acknowledge that they would not be responsible for my things. Although I didn't exactly expect them to pay for the seats, I did expect an apology for what happened while in their care where my vehicle was visible from the big glass window right in front of the front desk.
The customer service has been an absolute joke. Getting the GM to call me back, even bigger nightmare. I can't even get a hold of someone to take my police report/case number to view security footage. I called and complained to corporate which is MARRIOTT BTW, and they assured me they would have the GM reach out to me by close of business yesterday and today at 7pm and I still haven't heard a word from anyone! Poorest of poor customer service!!! I strongly urge others to stay somewhere else if they value customer service and don't park there if you value your car seats, rims, car battery etc because it won't be their problem when it's stolen....
I have spent countless hours being transferred from one person who doesn't apologize or do anything to assist to another. All equally rude and worthless. They do it until you give up.I won't! I value good customer service as a business owner myself. People should not be treated this way. When I finally got with someone on the "top" of the corp customer service chain on she was rude as well. Hard to expect good customer service from your hotels and GM's if you aren't leading by example. CUSTOMER SERVICE and compassion for a family who had part of their actual vehicle stolen in your care is clearly not something MARRIOTT concerns themselves with. Good to know. It's now been way over a week and I still haven't received a phone call from the GM and he hasn't shared security camera footage to my assigned detective.

When I called them up the front desk manager just said, "Oh yes we have refunded you." WOW. Has customer service completed died? Hello you guys fraudulently charged my credit card without my permission and that is all you have to say is that we have refunded you. No offering of a credit to the next stay to make it better? Not even a real apology.
2) We stayed at the Blue Mountain Westin Trillium (also part of the Marriott brand unfortunately). It was my birthday and they could see we have stayed before. They did nothing to make it special. Not to mention the service at the hotel is terrible. We rented a whole loft - and they only gave us one bottle of water in the room? CHEAP. And the pool service for foods was terrible. I doubt we would stay there again.

Worst Marriott Bonvoy experience. I am staying in this hotel now for 2 nights. I checked in this afternoon and got a room on the 5th floor. In front of my room there is construction going on and we found everything fine in the beginning. When we came back we saw lot of dust inside the room and informed the front desk about it. They did nothing except saying sorry but I came back thinking we can manage it.
The moment I entered the room I found a big bug under the bed and immediately called front desk and complained to them and demanded to speak to the Manager. The Manager was totally unapologetic and said that it’s very common to find bugs in the room and we should manage with it. I told her that I stayed in Hilton Waikoloa village for the last 5 days and didn’t found any even though the hotel is just 9 miles away. She vehemently supported her view and we should manage and refused to change us to any other room saying that no rooms are available.
I got a housekeeping person to spray bug repellents. He found 4 cockroaches in the luggage area and told us that he cannot guarantee us we will have a bug free room. I was very annoyed and called Marriott customer service to complain but got no help. I then went to the In charge person again and told that I refuse to stay in that room and surprisingly he shifted me to a room that was in 8th floor. Few minutes back I was told by another manager that no rooms were available!!! We had to pack everything at midnight 12 and had to go to a new room. It is totally unacceptable service from a brand like Westin and Marriott doesn’t care for its Bonvoy customers because it is too big. I highly recommend people not to stay in this place or at least not in ground floor even after this review.

But poorly trained. Decent location, rooms were clean. CONS: shower took forever to get hot water, shower door did not shut and flooded the bathroom floor every time we took a shower, shockingly dead in the middle of summer, our air conditioner did not work in the hotel had no maintenance or no other options and move does to sleep in a room with two double beds instead of a king, shocking when you book a guaranteed room for a good night sleep and they don't give you what you paid for and you get a terrible night's sleep.
Told the front desk staff twice as Titanium Elite I wanted a late check-out, not once, including all morning do. They indicate I could not check out late and only called me 30 minutes prior at 1 to tell me I had to leave the room in 30 minutes. Hotel didn't even have either of the two duty managers on staff the morning we checked out in order to issue a complaint and ask for some type of refund or compensation. Not surprisingly, I'm finding it Marriott just gets worse and worse as time goes on and they've gutted and pillaged you start with frequent guest program, taking away enormously valuable benefits.

We have stayed at this hotel 3 other times and this time our experience was so poor we decided to leave just after checking in and never stay at this property again. We had to leave because the staff and the management were not competent at providing adequate service to guest. Here are the issues which management did not address them competently.
2) Privacy Invasion: In attempt to remedy the situation, they assigned us another room after 25 minutes and promised to transfer our luggage, we showed up to our newly assigned room and that room had another guest already checked in along with all their belongings.
3) Lost luggage: They lost one of our luggage pieces while moving rooms.
This hotel property must realize that you can't offer adequate service when the hotel's employees are not performing their jobs and where management can't manage. This property is missing the mark on the most basic services a hotel provides. Guests expect Marriott would teach management how to manage, as well as their employees how to take care of their jobs. Good management and trained personnel are the most important factors in a service business.

From June 29th - July 3rd, I had the worst vacation experience in my life, while staying at Springhill Suites by Marriott Cincinnati Midtown. My reservation was made for June 28th-July 3rd. I was scheduled to arrive at 2:00 AM on June 29th. On the Marriott website I was asked to indicate my time of arrival. I selected 2:00AM from the drop down menu. To be sure, I also made a call to the hotel to ensure that my arrival time would not be a problem.
During my train ride on June 28th from NY to OH, I received an email asking me to download the Marriott Bonvoy app in order to check in. I did exactly that. At approximately 8:00 PM I placed a call to the hotel to remind them of my arrival time. The front desk person, whose name I was told was Pat, advised that someone would be there to check me in. Sadly, one station away from Cincinnati, the train was held for approximately one hour due to the demise of a passenger on board (so I heard). They had to wait for emergency personnel to arrive.
I arrived at the hotel at approximately 3:00AM. When I entered, I was greeted by Tyler, who proceeded to tell me that he canceled my room for that day because I was a no show. I was very upset by this. I reminded him about my call to the hotel. He advised me that no one told him anything. I also reminded him about my original reservations. He told me that was not in the system. I also asked him why I did not receive a call before he canceled my room. He advised there was no phone number attached to my reservation. I was made furious by this. I had to enter my phone number to make the reservations! I also tried to understand why Tyler only canceled one day and not all of my booking.
He claimed he was doing me a favor. Doing me a favor? Here I was, with my 12-year old child stranded 20 hours away from home with no place to go. What made things worse was that 98% of all the hotels in the area was completely booked out; I am assuming because of a Reds game. Tyler managed to get me in for one night at a hotel, which I rejected when I was initially making my reservations; it's also a Marriott brand. Tyler said they would take care of that bill.
I finally got a room the next day at the hotel I had my reservations- Springhill Suites by Marriott Midtown Cincinnati. Then the nightmare continued. I arrived to a very clean room, which was awesome. But, that was the last time my room was cleaned from June 29th- July 3rd. The trend was, each time I complained I would receive a bag loaded with water bottles and was also offered snacks. I am not sure if they believed that would solve the problem. I also discovered that each time I complained I would receive apologies, and I was told they would address the problem. But, they never addressed it. I believe what I am about to report is the worst I have ever experienced.
One of the cleaners (no one else has access to the room) left a filthy looking underwear (panty) by the sink. I was sick to my stomach! I think it was done deliberately because I complained. I have walked by rooms that they were supposedly cleaning, however, both women were sitting in the chairs, and they were both on their phones doing absolutely no cleaning! So, I gave up any hope of ever having my issues addressed. So, I decided to post to BBB and every social media I am attached to.
Finally, I do not wish for anyone from Marriott to write a scripted response to my comments. Please show me some respect and offer a proper heartfelt response. Also, refunding me my $688 would be a honorable thing to do. For my suffering, they refunded me $10 per day fee for parking! That's $40 for all the torture we put you through! Thanks Marriott!

I had a similar incident at the Drury Inn & Suites in Columbus Ohio and everything was resolved in 3 days and they were generous enough to compensate us without even asking, now that is customer service. A customer should not have to fight for money that was wrongfully charged at the hotel. So I would highly advise anyone who is thinking about staying at a Marriott affiliated hotel to seriously reconsider, the hotels are nice but their customer service is nothing short of a joke.

((("Unfortunately without proper cancellation we would not be able to issue refund as the hotel was sold out on 5/7/2019, and we have no record of the cancellation. We turned away other guest as we were holding the room for your arrival. We did do a courtesy cancellation for today 5/8/2019 after you had already checked in.

ALERT. To all of, regardless of which airline you fly for, if you have a MARRIOTT rewards card and have established enough stays to reward you with either Platinum or Titanium. I’ve just gotten off the phone with Diane ** corporate liaison for Marriott and YOUR status as an airline crew member means nothing to them post the merger with Marriott and SPG. You’re carrying a worthless card. My friends, LOYALTY is a two way street. I am sad to be leaving a hotel chain that once rewarded us (Flight Attendants) for being loyal. *This includes Pilots*. From today on all future reservations cease! (Other than the ones that I can use my points for until they run out.) YOU have a choice, I highly recommend you use your choice with a chain reciprocates that loyalty. Marriott has with this policy change literally bitten off one of the hands that feeds it.

I arrived for check-in at the Residence Inn in Worcester MA. The front person asked my name and I stated: "The reservation is under my manger's name ...." The clerk then asked me to wait while she sought assistance. Shortly thereafter, her manager (Zeli) approached. I stated again the reservation was under my manager's name. That is when I told that she could not check me under another person's reservation. That is not the policy and she would not make any exceptions to it. That is when I stated I was a guest last week at this very same hotel under my manager's name and showed her my receipt.
Zeli's reaction was to state the employee from the previous week made a mistake and that employee will be reprimanded. Then re-stated I was not staying under another person's check-in. I then called my manager and he had a brief conversation with her with some choice words. Zeli's attitude and demeanor changed. She became calm and inviting and offered me water then proceeded to provide me with a room, with no further questions or issues. It is a shame I had to involve my manager in order to get some basic respect and courtesy. Keep in mind, never during the conversation did the hotel manager ever offer a kind word or helpful suggestion to resolve. It was simply, "You are not checking in under these circumstances."

My daughter is in Germany and her flight was canceled and they rescheduled her for 18 hours later. She needed a hotel so I contacted Marriott. I was able to book a room at the airport with some points (as I'm a member) and some money. I provided a credit card and they made the reservation under her name as well as mine and I received a confirmation. After this was all completed, they told me she cannot get the room unless I fill out a "third party authorization" form to which I explained I was unable to do so as I'm traveling myself and only have access to my phone. They insisted I needed to print out a form, sign in and fax it back to them. So now I needed a computer, printer and fax machine.
I told them I could e-mail them my approval and also verify on the phone but they said no. They said that most people do this in advance of a trip but as I explained this just happened and we can't control a flight being canceled. So now my daughter is in another country and has no hotel. Shame on you Marriott leaving a young girl in at an airport in another country where she does not speak the language and now has to sleep on the floor in the airport for 18 hours.

Ever since Marriott took over SPG brand you can see the class of services has degraded! The website and what you can do is worse; I want to simply add my wife onto my reservation and I cannot. I called in and they said they added her to the notes but I do not see the notes on my reservation only Marriott sees it. You can tell everything has degraded significantly and the customer service staff exude a poor vibe. I used to think American Express & SPG were the best customer service and loyalty programs ever. Well, it is now just American Express and everything else a distant 10th with Marriott not even a mediocre choice. I am a platinum member and I must say, Marriott simply sucks!

I joined the Marriott Bonvoy programme, expected the cheapest all up price but got a cheaper all up price from WOTIF which seems ridiculous as the Marriott would need to pay commissions of up to 15% to such a company.

Dodgy stuff going on by the Marriott, it's not worth entering a loyalty programme if the company you are dealing with are dishonest.

Do not sign up for Bonvoy or any credit cards under the Bonvoy name. I recently had to cancel a stay after the 3-day cancellation window. I knew I'd be charged a fee to do this, but the Bonvoy app had no details on how much the fee would be when I booked the stay nor when I used the app to cancel it. They also never sent me an email with details on the fee, so I had to wait for the credit card charge to go through. Unacceptable. Called customer service and they went through the actual hotel (Westin), who refused to issue a credit.
Called another customer service number to voice my issues with how this was handled and was told by Ash that she would email billing. I specifically told her that contacting the Westin was already done, so there was no point in going that route if that's what she meant. Well that's exactly what she did, so now I have to call AGAIN. The cancellation "fee" was equal to a night's stay. Had we known this, we would have kept the reso and gone. SPG was never this bad and now I will be seriously considering canceling my Bonvoy AMEX.

Beverly Beatty was at; Courtyard by Marriott Columbus OSU. Columbus, OH. I accidentally left two good coats in a hotel room the other day. I realize it is my mistake, and am willing to pay whatever it costs to ship them back. However... "no one can find them". I have called several times and they even said a manager would check into overnight and call me today. Of course, that didn't happen.
Oh please... someone is not telling the truth. If the people in the room now (who checked in right after we did), did not see them, then someone in house-keeping knows where they went. Ask them!! The front desk said she did. But she got back to me too fast; I don't think she even did ask. C'mon. Ask again, and again, and again. Someone is not telling the truth.
I asked them - before the new people check out - find my coats, please. And sound like you mean it... please. No one wants to put a little effort into it, and at this point, I guess they are "lost" but they never made it to their lost and found. It's so frustrating that I know they didn't disappear, are there somewhere, and someone who is still there (guests who checked into our room - who are still there, or housekeeping) knows what happened to them and I cannot stand the dishonesty. This is the service you get for $240 a night?

In April 2019 I stayed at the Marriott Kauai Beach Club. I would not recommend this property for two reasons. First, they engage in deceptive business practices and have extremely poor customer service. Second, the property is run down and shares its beach with a massive cruise ship dock. I booked a regular guest room far in advance of my stay, but I received an email shortly before arrival saying that I would be in a lock-off instead of a guest room. I've stayed in a Marriott lock off before and there is no noise control. I did not want to stay in a lock off instead of a guest room, so I called the resort.
The representative acknowledged that my reservation was for a guest room and not a lock off, but refused to provide this type of accommodation for us, stating that they did not have guest rooms on that side of the resort. He said we should cancel our reservation and rebook on the other side of the hotel. However, prices has significantly increased since the time the reservation was made, and he refused to honor the price when the reservation was made. Our only option was to get something different from our reservation, or pay three times as much for what we did reserve. Not acceptable, Marriott.
Additionally, after making our reservation I called the resort to ask if Platinum status included a breakfast and was told it did. However, upon arrival we were told no breakfast for Platinum members. We spoke to the manager about the lock off situation and the misinformation about the breakfast and he was totally unsympathetic. He refused to do anything to help, and asked us to pay an extra $190 per night to keep the adjoining lock-off empty, even though we did not want this space. He also stated that lack of Platinum benefits was "clearly stated" during the reservation process. That was a lie.
I went back to the Marriott web site and did a mock reservation and it did not. Either way, when I called to ask, I did my due diligence to make sure I understood the policies of the hotel, and the hotel should provide me with accurate information. Not only did Marriott fail to live up to their promises, they had no remorse or concern about doing so.
The hotel itself was fairly sub-standard. Tired, worn out, and falling apart in many areas. Tiles falling off the walls of the pools, missing cement, one-foot weeds in the flower beds. Even the huge Hawaiian picture near the lobby had a crumbling, broken frame. Our room looked like someone recently painted it, but there was white paint all over the doorknob handles and hinges and dried paint dripping down the moldings.
Fortunately the first two nights there was no one on the other side of the lock-off, but on the second morning a repair guy started banging away on the other side of the door at 8:00 in the morning. The noise problem was exactly what I expected--if I closed my eyes I would swear that he was doing repairs in our room. So much for a relaxing morning. The beach was fine, but I had no idea the hotel was mere feet from a cruise ship dock which released flocks of people that would be sharing the tiny beach area behind the hotel.
Upon check out Marriott added $25 per day for parking, even though we did not have a car! They never asked if we had a car, or if we would like to use their parking lot, but instead just added the cost to our bill, hoping we wouldn't notice. More dishonesty on the part of Marriott, that at this point, frankly, was not surprising.
On every day of our stay we received timeshare solicitation phone calls in our room, and on the last day they left a message offering us another stay at Marriott for two people, for just $799 if we would quickly run down and give them some more money! After our experience in this hotel not only did we not accept their "special offer," but we plan never to choose Marriott again for personal stays. I don't give my business to dishonest organizations.
No organization is perfect. But when a company makes a mistake or misrepresents what they are going to offer, we expect them to make it right. It would have be so easy for Marriott to give us the room we reserved, and to give us access to the Platinum breakfast on the property. But it seems that Marriott is really not concerned with meeting their obligations or creating a good customer experience. And that type of organization is not for us.

Nice hotel, even though most rooms overlook a gravel parking lot. The resort is not located on the beach, but they have an electric cart to take you to a resort that is on the beach. Pool is very, very small, but heated. Restaurant staff not friendly. What really upset me was a charge was added to my folio for items taken from the room pantry, which we did not take. I called twice to the hotel to have the charges removed, and received no response. I then called Marriott Bonvoy (rewards program) customer service since I am a Titanium Elite member, and they responded they would have the charge removed. After 12 days, the charge has not been removed from my credit card. If you stay at the Waterline Marina resort, check your folio for unauthorized charges and have them removed before you check out. In my opinion, this Marriott resort is dishonest and uses fake charges to enhance their bottom line.

I was told at check-in that they got me a "great room". I walked to this great-room and out the window was a parking lot, I could hear the guy next to me coughing, and the lobby was my other neighbor along with the elevators. I walked back to reception and said that room is not so great, could I actually have a great room? She told me they were sold out. I pushed back and said she could give me a refund on my room and I'll go to Courtyard where it's less per night and a nicer hotel, or she can get me a better room. Those were the only two acceptable options for me. She looked and told me again how lucky I was that she found one. It was a handicap room, which wasn't horrible, but the carpets felt so dirty that I kept my shoes on the entire time and I heard the guy above me stomping (he could have been walking, sounded like stomps) so loudly that I had to put earplugs in to get to sleep.
I originally booked 2 nights, and I checked out the next morning feeling gross (I'm not used to 3-star hotels). The following night, I realized when I went to get my charger out of my backpack, that I didn't unplug that from the wall in my quick-departure from Springhill. I called two days later asking if they could send it to me. The lady who answered checked lost and found and said it wasn't there, that she'd check with housekeeping to see if they had it and would call me back. Zero callbacks almost a month later, so I called today in follow-up. The guy who answered said there were not any notes as to if my previous call resolved in a found charger, maybe that's why I didn't get a callback, but that he'd check lost and found again. He came back saying they didn't have it. I told him that's unfortunate because it's a rare Google Phone charger, that cost me $30 to replace and I'd really love to have this back, as I'm 100% confident I left it there.
I left the call frustrated and told him this was the second reason why I'd never stay there again (rude, I know, but I was frustrated). I then went to their website to leave a review and of course, all their reviews are wonderful. I reviewed "what are Marriott verified guest reviews?" and that their guests are emailed a survey. I then went to my email to find this survey. I clicked on it and of course, it's expired. So this is my next best outlet to share a true verified guest review from someone who isn't a 4 star or higher. I highly doubt they post anything less than a 4-star because their website only has 4 stars or higher (so fake)! So here's my real review, and I hope it helps bring awareness to those who care (or should care).

First I need to say, I've always loved Marriott. But, I need to ask anyone if they have ever had this happen to them... I booked a reservation for four rooms in December to stay the end of March for seven nights at a Marriott property. Two rooms we used points and two rooms we paid for. I was having a hard time finding my fourth reservation and just to make sure we were all set for this weekend, I called a Marriott representative to help me figure it out.
During the conversation she mentioned the price we were paying for our rooms for the week. I was looking at an email that said $1429.88 for each room on my laptop. Her price was over $2,000. I explained I was looking at an email from Marriott that said the other price and offered to forward it to her. She must have been having a really bad day, but she was not very nice on the phone and so I asked to speak with someone a bit more pleasant. I was transferred to someone else and explained my initial situation to her and then told her about the price the other girl had quoted which was over $700.00 more than the price I had in my email. She said it was probably taxes and dues. I said not for $700! She put me on hold for quite some time and while I was waiting I logged onto my office computer while I had my laptop still on my desk open next to me, thinking I'd find the missing reservation somewhere while I was waiting.
Then I opened the email on my business computer, same day, same reservation and the price that showed was $1992.39, not the $1429.88 that I was looking at on my laptop at that very moment. I was so confused. So I refreshed my laptop and up pops the new price of $1992.39. I thought I was losing my mind. So I looked in all my emails to find the original price that I had written down. That amount was nowhere to be found, then I could have understood the confusion. I only had two Marriott emails from them so I knew exactly what I was looking for. I could never prove that is what my email said. I've never had to prove a rate or had to take a picture to make sure the prices didn't change.
I talked to the manager of the hotel and he said it couldn't change, which is what I thought. But I'm telling you, it changed. Has anyone ever had that happen to them? Can hotels change prices on emails? I know I sound completely crazy, but this seriously happened to me and if I hadn't had the two computers side by side I would never have believed it either. I posted this on their insider page, but they never published it. I just want to know, has this ever happened to anyone else?

When I checked in I asked for a quiet room – I specifically did not want an adjoining room and did not want to be next to an elevator or ice machine. I was put next to a hotel employee entrance where housekeeping carts and room service banged through the doors with carts, trays and other items at set hours every morning and every night.
On the first morning of my stay the hotel buffet opened at 7am there was no one at the entrance to greet or seat guests. At 7:10 they were still not set up. You couldn’t tell who worked there because wait staff was in winter coats, sweatshirts and hoodies and walking about and just arriving. They were also on their phones and texting. Had to ask for silverware and had to ask for them to put out milk for cereal. They kept their coats, hoodies etc. on the whole time while severing which was unprofessional.
On the last two night of my stay there was noise in the room above me. It started every night and morning at the same time. It sounded like children running around and furniture being moved. The noise went on until about 11pm each night. I did not appreciate this since I was traveling for work and had to get up early. You could hear the noise over the TV and fan. I called each night to the front desk to report the noise above me and nothing was done. Upon calling back the desk indicated the security guard went to check for noise and said they did not hear anything. On the second night (while I was already in bed) they said they would send a security guard to sit in my room to listen for noise. I found this highly unacceptable to send a male stranger to my room after hours while I’m trying to sleep to sit in my room and listen to noise. They refused to do anything else and would not knock on the door above me.
The next day when checking out I spoke with **. I was told he was the only manager available. He said, no they will not knock on another guest’s door. He did agree that it was unacceptable to have security sit in my room. He was not helpful and said he couldn’t do anything. He offered me 20,000 points whichI said was not good enough but would take them and also call corporate. He gave me my Marriott rewards number and said he credited the points. I called Marriott Customer Service on 2/5/2019 and spoke with **. I called 1-800-535-4028. I asked ** if I had received the 20,000 points - she said no and she could not find my account. ** indicated she would give me a $100.00 credit back to my credit card and 20,000 Marriott points which I agreed to. She indicated I should have the credit to my card within 5 days.
I called the same phone number back on 3/16/2019 because I had not received the credit as promised. I spoke with **. She was very helpful and found my Marriott Number and we filled in my contact information such as address, phone and email. She also indicated the case number. ** checked several things and indicated the case was escalated then she ultimately came back on the line and said the said the case was closed because I refused the points (which was not accurate). I spoke with ** for an hour and 26 minutes to find that nothing had been done. ** indicated a new case would need to be opened. While I was holding for the new case number I was disconnected. Marriott has my email and phone and I have not been contacted back.
I wrote them on 3/16, They contacted me a week later on 3/34 and apologized for not getting back with me and stated a rude passive aggressive comment about my frustration. Apparently if you follow up and state facts - you are automatically frustrated according to Marriott. I don't need them commenting on my state of mind or what they think I'm feeling. They need to keep it to their service. I asked to get this resolved - or I would go to the Better Business Bureau. Once I mentioned that they refused to speak with me again. Marriott seems very unprofessional and disorganized. I was also not happy with the Westin’s suggestion to have a security guard sit in my room while I’m in my pajamas to listen for noise.

Marriott and SPG merger really screwed SPG members. We paid over $1,200 for 80000 points through SPG. We were told the points would never be devalued. Well they were. Marriott charges thousands more points per night than SPG. For the same hotel we booked in August 2018 last year for 3166 points per night or (22,000 points for 6 nights) costs 125000 points for 6 nights through the Marriott. Same dates, same hotel...I doubt inflation went up that high. So we formerly could get 24-25 nights and now can only get barely 4 nights through Marriott. So upset.

My complaint involves both the manager, Erick ** and general manager Kimberly **. Mr. Ronald ** and I were in town for the Arnold Sports festival. He is one of the athletes that was competing that weekend. Thursday morning as he was waiting for me in the lobby he fell asleep and was woken up by Kimberly ** who informed him he cannot sleep there. He explained that he was waiting for me and dozed off. Shortly after that I arrived and he explained to me that he was woken up. Neither I nor Ronald saw anything wrong with the fact that he was woken up but what followed is what has caused us stress during our stay and made us feel incredibly uncomfortable. Maybe five minutes after he was woken up Mr. Erick ** approached us without introducing himself. He asked for our last names and after I provided that information I asked if there was a problem.
He then continued what felt like an interrogation by asking if we are guests and what room we were staying at. At this point I still had no idea who I am speaking with. It was very clear from his tone of voice that he assumed we were not guests and that he viewed Ronald as a bum who snuck into his hotel. I became very upset by the way we were approached and how big of a deal was made out of a depleted, sleep deprived athlete falling asleep. Mr. ** stated he absolutely cannot sleep in the lobby, which is what Ms. ** had already stated. That issues should have ended when Ms. ** first approached him but instead it kept going. I asked Mr ** if Ronald broke any laws by dozing off to which Mr. ** replied "This is it. You guys are being kicked out. Get up and leave!"
He left and less than 5 min later he returned with a complete different change of tone. I can only assume that he checked and realized that we truly were paying customers. He then said to me "Ma'am you have to understand that a week ago someone stole a TV from here." Why do I need to understand that? He telling me that only implies that he viewed Ronald as a potential criminal. If the entire city was not booked up because of the Arnold Sports Festival, we certainly would have left. I am certain that if Ronald was a ** male, dressed in a suit and tie that he would have just been woken up and that would have been the end, but he is a man of color with a hoodie on and therefore treated as less. I am certain nobody will admit this but this was pure racial profiling, which caused him as an athlete unnecessary stress.
Later in the day he wanted to go to a nearby gas station and I asked him to take his hoodie off and not keep his hands in his pockets so he does not come off as threatening. I only felt that way because of the way we were treated. I spoke with Ms. ** on Monday about this and she never apologized or acknowledged any wrongdoings. The only thing she kept saying to me is "I am sorry you are upset that he was woken up." I again want to make it clear that is not the reason why I am upset. What's wrong is wrong and I would like this rectified.
Mr ** and Ms. ** are representing Marriott and lending the brands reputation to accepting racial profiling and allowing for a toxic and dangerous atmosphere within their hotels. No matter the color of ones skin, education status, socio-economic status, every paying guest MUST be treated with respect and we were NOT! They must train their staff how to treat human beings. These individuals failed at the bare minimum of human decency and given neither understood what they did wrong shows the need for training and education within Marriott Hotels. Hotels are known as your home away from home and home means sense of security and peace which Ronald and I were robbed of as we did not know if another ignorant and blatant attack would be made on us.

Over the past 2 (maybe 3?) years the Marriott online booking experience has never worked for me... I have stayed in Marriott hundreds of nights, & can't get one reservation online. The past year, I find a room available online, only to get an error message when I try to reserve it. The past year, when I call the reservations worldwide, the room is suddenly not available, even though I am looking online, where it is still available. Multiple complaints to the customer support have gone unanswered. By the way, their points system is crap, too. Most of the rooms available online (with points) are not available when you call the reservations worldwide. Bait & switch? I think it's time to change my preferred hotel brand.

I had an incident with the AC Hotel in Asheville, NC in regards to a miscommunication with paying for parking. I was charged double the amount and asked if they'd be willing to refund one of the payments. They advised my request would be sent off to the appropriate department and I never heard back. I followed up numerous times via phone and email and still have yet to be acknowledged after over a month. Enjoyed the hotel but makes me weary to stay at another Marriott location.

I reserved a room at the Marriott Courtyard, Saint Louis Park, February 14th, 2019. The first thing that grasped my attention was how helpful the staff was. They were immediately willing to guide me where I needed to be. But, more than that, through clear instruction, able to get me there. As, I strolled through the lobby there was an extreme attraction to cleanliness, organization, and elegance. 3 different style seating areas; useful for your imagination to see fit. Satisfy your hunger, swiftly, with a quick snack or go just down the hall to the restaurant. Then, quick access to spacious, speedy, elevators.
Hallways on the way to room entrance large and clean. Magnetic key for quick and easy entrance. Now, inside a warm comfortable room, first thing to hit my eyes, a huge chair, w/ meal tray. I easily wanted the chair for my very own. I looked around and was trapped, I did not want to leave… Upon further exploration, nice comfortable bed, made properly. There were extras… Coffee Keurig, Refrigerator, iron w/ ironing board and hairdryer.
Then, I went into the bathroom. I never saw anything like it. The shower was bigger than a normal bathtub. There was a smooth sliding door. While in, there was a beautiful sound as the water danced against the unusually large stainless-steel drain. Towels and personals displayed in an extremely inviting fashion. These just a few of the outstanding features I found in a smaller affordable $150 room. The atmosphere was phenomenal! Thank you so much for a relaxing night…

I reserved a room in January for business. I received my confirmation, which indicated reservation guarantee. I arrive to the Residence Inn Long Beach at 600 Queensway Drive only to be told they overbooked and will be sending me to a Holiday Inn. WHAT??? How does a Marriott customer that has a reservation guarantee get moved to a Holiday Inn??? Not only a Holiday Inn, but one under construction in a shady neighborhood. Really Marriott. I call corporate once I arrive at the suspect Holiday Inn only for George (wouldn't give last name or employee ID number) who is suppose to be a manager. He could not explain why I am at a Holiday Inn. His solution was pack me up again and move me to a Marriott 30 minutes away.
No GEORGE! WRONG ANSWER! He ultimately hung up on me after creating a "case" for me explaining prior to hanging up that I'll get an email in 3 days. Sure I will "George". Bottom line is Marriott does very little to address the overbooking they seem eager to engage in. Very customer focused. Another example of their less than stellar accommodations and service. I'll take me and my corporate dollars to the Hilton. Sincerely, Disappointed VP of Education.

I stayed at this property from 01/11/19 through 01/23/19. I would never recommend this property to a friend or colleague. In a total of (13) days I was stuck in an elevator and I had to take a cold shower two days because of broken pipe problems. The rooms were filthy and the maids were lazy. I found out that every room in this hotel was pet friendly. There were no rooms that were not animal friendly. I found hair throughout my room from previous animals. In the (13) days I occupied the room it was mopped and vacuumed one time. The maids come in and make the bed, replace towels and toiletries and are done. I encountered a stopped up sink, beeping from the closet's air conditioning unit and a constant flashing light from phone showing I had a message but I didn't. The staff was clueless as to a fix and asked that I wait until maintenance arrived on Monday and this was Saturday.
The final straw was when I came in from work to find personal property of mine removed from my room and discarded. This was done without any advance notice given or permission granted that they would be entering my room that was rented. This hotel has a total disregard for their patrons, their patrons wishes and their continued patronage. Instead they are thin skinned and self absorbed and plain rude. I have traveled and honestly stayed in 100's of Marriott Residence Inn's and this was is the absolute worse ever. I have never encountered such a disregard and disrespect as a patron of an establishment. I will never stay here again. I was never given an apology about any of the above circumstances and instances.

I contacted Chase today to verify what is going on and the first agent mentioned the offer is not valid online via Chase at it seemed the site may have not updated it on their end and therefore being an old offer and the other answer was that they don't know what happened and that I was redirected to another site that wasn't offering the promotion. As a banker myself and working as well in compliance this is an unacceptable answer.
I spoke to the supervisor Karina and I mentioned to her my credit was ran therefore affecting me as an individual because it was ran for a useless purpose. She stated there is nothing she can do and cannot give the $200 credit offer nor reverse the $95.00 fee. It is upsetting that such a huge company could care less for their consumers and needless to say have consideration and accept the responsibility of their incompetent system if that is the case. I take this personal as I am a person with a good withstanding credit and I would have not applied if it wasn't because of the offer was there. To me this is false advertisement and misleading as once again I applied mainly to take advantage of the offer being made otherwise I would have not applied.

On December 24 at 3:30 PM, I cancelled a reservation at AC Marriott and attempted to book Springhill Suites, a Marriott hotel closer to family. During the conversation with reservations, I was told the room rate was $87 and provided a full amount for our stay of **. The Marriott representative was having trouble with his computer, and I said that I could call back later. He thanked me. Later that evening, I called Marriott to book Springhill Suites. I was given a higher rate. I explained to the representative that I was provided a lower rate, but that rep said that he couldn't do anything about it. This is the price. We needed a place to stay, so I booked and figured that the cost would get sorted out. As Marriott claims on their website to honor the lowest rate... in this case, it was the lowest rate that Marriott provided me.
Upon return from our travels, I contacted Marriott. The response was initially great, the person I spoke with identified the need to escalate my call and that representative assured me that the matter would be resolved. Upon "escalation" of my call, the experience quickly went downhill. The representative in the "escalation" department replied to me... "you didn't call right back? You called a few hours later?" In a tone that was accusational. There was no indication during the first call that there was any immediacy in my call back. Upon my response, the rep disconnected the call. I called again. After all the robo prompts, I was connected to a rep. This rep wanted me to tell the story again. I asked to be connected to the escalated department. Got disconnected again.
Third call. Once I was connected to the escalation department... on hold for 26 min., I was connected to a rep. The call lasted over an hour, and was not resolved, nor was the situation understood. The customer service rep was defensive and rude. I am now awaiting a manager from the Springhill Suite location to call me to resolve. The issues at Marriott are concerning. The technology at Marriott is clearly not working adequately on any level. The customer service team is in dire need of training. I will update my review if the issue is resolved. Zero stars.

We attended an event Dec 14 at Westin Bayshore. We Valet parked our vehicle overnight in their lot. We picked the car up with damage. We honestly believe was done while being in the hands of the Valet. I spoke with the front desk manager, Alessandra. She was very rude, unhelpful and didn’t seem to care at all that our vehicle had been damaged on the hotel’s property. She had a really oh well not our fault, can’t help you and don’t care attitude & rudely directed us to handle the matter with West Park. Worst experience ever. We have been getting the runaround and still no resolution with West Park so I called back in and spoke with her again inquiring about video surveillance.
To my surprise she was no help and I had the same horrible experience with her, leaving the conversation more upset than when I called in. I would definitely not have such a rude and careless individual labelled as a manager in the hospitality industry, especially not the front desk. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone after my interaction with her and I would also highly suggest to make sure they do a before and after damage check with you like they are supposed to. I will file a formal complaint to the general manager Martin **. Though we didn’t rent a room there the night our car was valeted we did attend a large function in the hotel with several co-workers who did.
Previous to this incident our family members from out of town and ourselves have rented rooms at Westin Bayshore and are loyal to Marriot when we travel. We are soon to be married and have several family members coming into town. We have already suggested any hotel that is not related to Westin Bayshore - Marriot. We will no longer provide this hotel our business or recommendations anymore! I would hate for someone to have a repeat of my personal experience. Good experiences & service are very important to me! I take recommendations from personal experiences all the time and feel strongly about letting others know of not only good but bad experiences. With that being said - If you are looking for a nice hotel downtown with excellent service, beautiful views and friendly staff, I suggest Pacific Rim (little pricier) or Pan Pacific. Cheers!

I stayed at this hotel for a couple hours this day, I was checked in by front desk clerk ** between 7 pm-7:30 pm. Around 10:15 pm maybe a little later I checked out and I decided to pay cash instead of using my credit card in the amount of $145.00 which I handed to front desk clerk ** and I specifically asked if I pay cash my credit card would not be charged and he said yes it would not be charged.
On October 24, 2018 I noticed a credit card charged in the amount of 145.00 for the date of October 17, 2018. I called the hotel immediately.

A couple of days had gone by and I still did not receive a call from the assistant manager **, I called again I spoke to ** the front desk clerk she said he was not available so she sent me to his voicemail to leave a message.

He would need to check the money drop for that day and get back to me, and I asked him to print out my receipt for that day and he did. It’s now the second week of November and I still have not heard back from **. I called again. I spoke to ** again. He said he did inform ** and this should have been rectified by now, I asked if they could check the security cameras for this day and he said he was not sure but he would escalate the issue to the General Manager ** but he had to wait until he came in at 7:00 am and he would have him call me.
I received a call back from ** the night auditor and this time he was very rude, sarcastic, and expressed no concern. He told me that I did not pay cash. He also told me that I did not check out until 6:30 am and he was the clerk that actually checked me out. I explained what I seen on the receipt which was a different check-in and check-out time that he stated and also a different clerk. I explained that was false documentation and out of all the times I stayed at the hotel I never met ** face to face only had conversations over the phone. ** was very disrespectful, unapologetic and he told me there was nothing that could be done I just better take it up with Marriott customer service.
I requested to speak to the General manager and he hung up on me. I went to the hotel again and spoke to ** I explained the disrespectful conversation I had with ** and requested they look at the video surveillance for the day but instead he just issued me a refund. I went to the hotel again to reserve a room but was declined by the front desk clerk **. He stated I cannot stay at the hotel anymore since I cursed ** out and that was a request from the General Manager **. I did not curse ** out.

Bottom line. Getting charged for damages myself or my husband did not do or anyone associated with us. Stayed at the TownePlace Suites by Marriott Wareham Buzzards Bay, in Wareham, Massachusetts. Very unfair and the hotel is refusing to refund us. They said it’s our responsibility because we were on the room, but when we left the room and checked out the room was in perfect condition and there were no “holes in the window screen” like they are accusing us of, or holes in the chair.
We were staying at the hotel for our wedding weekend... and mind you we lost power from the awful weather with heavy rains and hurricane winds and all while I was getting ready for OUR WEDDING, which I did not complain about. It’s all Mother Nature, nothing anyone could have done. But to wrongfully accuse us of cutting “perfect holes” in window screens is completely uncalled for.
I called three weeks ago and the lady at the front desk got loud with me and very rude. So I took it upon myself to go up higher than the hotel... since they refused to put a manager on the phone at the hotel. Talked to corporate and was told within 3-5 days we would get details. Never did. So today (three weeks later) called and was on the phone for 3 hours to find out the only one who could refund us is the GM of the hotel who we have yet to talk to. Keep getting told we would get a call from her and have not. And have yet to get the pictures they so call have of the damages “we did “ which we did not do. I have plenty of pictures of me getting ready for our wedding with no damages to the windows and they still are refusing to refund us.
I am so disappointed in the customer service (I have talked to some really nice people but they have no control over the matter). They are not helping us and this is defamation of character, all we want is for our names to be clean from this and refunded the money we were wrongfully charged. Very unfair. And will never stay at a Marriott or any hotel associated with it again. Definitely know all hotels are different and there are better Marriotts but this just puts a bad taste in my mouth. No one is helping us. Feel bad for putting a complaint in because I never do.

The recent stay I had at the Residence Inn, Auburn, Maine. I first made this reservation on 4/27/2018 with Booking.com. It was for a room at the above Hotel for August 8-13, 2018. I assumed my rate would be the best for this time frame since I was booking 4 months in advance. However what I now believe is my rate was assessed considering the April time frame and in Maine this Hotel books heavily for Sugarloaf Mountain and the rooms would be much more expensive than end of season Maine in August.
During the check-in I gave my Marriott Rewards number to the General Manager who never said since I booked through Booking.com I wouldn’t get any points or credit for this 6 night stay. This is something that would have been a deal breaker on my first night. During our stay my son also booked a room, the same type, style and just down the hall from ours. He booked through Marriott and paid $696 for the same room that cost me $1236. His rates ran from a low of $156 to a high of $197 while mine was $289 and $369. Based on this I feel I was overcharged for the same room with no rewards or points being offered for my stay. I have written Their CEO, and he put me in touch with Cynthia ** and to date she has not been any help or assistance.
I wrote to American Express and disputed the amount I was charged and the only satisfaction I got from this was a statement on the back of one of the correspondence was that Booking.com received a commission of $199.54 for the overcharged stay based on the higher rate I paid. The commission was paid on the 4/27/2018 rate and not the rate my son paid for the same room. What reason would Booking.com have to get me a better rate and lose money on their own commission. My son and wife say I should give up but my morals tell me that as long as there are hotel chains like Hilton that offer the best price on your room the nights you stay not the costs you were told 4 months prior to staying means there is still hope for Marriott. Please do the right thing and REFUND me the $540.00 difference my son paid for the same room on the same dates and some points or free night for the 6 nights and the $1977.26 I spent on August 14th.

I am in total disbelief of such nonsense as they are now the biggest hotel chain out there as they have acquired Sheraton, Westin, Element, Ritz, and the list goes on.

Marriott claims that they have a look no further guarantee, but when I actually booked the exact same room for >30% cheaper and submitted a claim, I was told that they could not duplicate the booking and denied the claim. I sent proof of the booking including the lower price. I was charged the lower rate and showed the proof of the charge receipt and it still was denied. The Marriott Look No Further is something the company actually honors!

The front desk manager named Shavonda ** and the hotel manager named Carlton ** have both displayed a level of unprofessionalism in the area of customer service. Due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e. Nor'Easter storm), I am unable to fulfill my reservations at this hotel. I contacted the hotel and left several messages, no response. I contacted Marriott's corporate office to assist me and filed a complaint.
After 4 days, the front desk manager Shavonda contacted me to indicate that a refund nor a credit can be issued to me in lieu of the situation. I simply asked for a credit because the reservations are non-refundable, however it is not stated in the company's cancellation policy that the consumer cannot be entitled to a credit applied to the account! I'm so disappointed that neither manager was able or willing to assist me or try to be understanding of this situation. I will never make reservations and/or refer this hotel to any family or friends, please beware!!

Booked a week at this Marriott hotel through Booking.com. My reservation was cancelled because the rate was supposedly incorrect (ludicrous, per the Marriott rep) and Marriott and the website blame each other for the debacle. Marriott will not honor the rate. We had already booked airline tickets and a rental car since we had a confirmed hotel reservation. My husband is Hilton Diamond. I've been trying to get him to switch to Marriott. No longer. We'll never stay at a Marriott again.

Marriott’s rewards programming is disappointing. I recently stayed in 2 Marriott hotels but received no rewards. I also had trouble with Marriott’s customer service. I completed their online form saying that I hadn’t received rewards. Two weeks later I receive a letter saying they won’t honor my stay. I replied to the email twice, and twice I received the very same letter back, word-for-word. No indication that I am a customer and am asking for more information about their policy. I assume the email was robot generated. I then tried to call, but the robot that answered didn’t understand what I wanted and put me in an infinite loop rather than get me an operator. So, I had to call again. When I finally did get a rep, they said they “can’t” give the rewards because I booked with a 3rd party vendor. That is BS.
They choose to only reward some (not all) paying customers. Although I did book with Expedia, there were extenuating circumstances. I would have booked with Marriott had there been a Marriott hotel available at every place I stopped on my road trip. Since there wasn’t, I booked with Expedia so that my entire itinerary could be found in one place. I was not aware that this would mean that Marriott gave no rewards for my stay. I find this to be dishonest of them. I stayed in their hotel. I have a rewards number. Therefore, I should accrue rewards based on my stay. It seems simple to me. They tried to say that I didn’t pay a competitive rate. But I checked the rate and I did pay a rate consistent with what Marriott was charging. And even if Marriott was paid less for my stay, they didn’t give me the room for free. They should reward at least a portion of the points. What good is a rewards program that doesn’t take care of every customer?

Marriott Fair Oaks Fairfax VA. Worst hotel ever... The room was clean but that's the end of everything good. Checked in on Thursday and checked out on Monday. Only continued to stay at the hotel because a wedding thing was tied to the stay for friends. NO free WIFI... Who ever heard of such a thing nowadays. They wanted an additional 9.95 a night. The restaurant was absolutely terrible. The breakfast buffet was terrible and a complete waste of money. Of course there is no free continental breakfast. There was not even complimentary coffee. There was some sort of girls soccer convention staying at the hotel. On Saturday night the lobby was full of kids running, yelling, throwing things. The manager said there was nothing he could do cause the parents were not responding. The bar was full of guess what? All the parents of the kids.

I had been waiting for my Members Number for a while now and decided to call Marriott to get it. I have never been jacked around so much in my life. The hotel in San Antonio, Texas was AMAZING. The service was divine and this is where I signed up as a rewards member. I'd had a very bad experience with Hilton Honors every time I went to a hotel, I was told I wasn't in the system! I wanted to get my number so this wouldn't happen with Marriott. Further, I wanted my number for several other hotel visits, so I called the company.
I was transferred all over the place, tried numbers they have online to absolutely no avail. I was told by one individual that I "wasn't in the system". By another, that said "We don't have anyone in the system with your name, address or phone number" (keep in mind I signed up in July...it's October!). I spent over 2 hours trying to get someone to help me, and suddenly a woman gave me my members' number! I was shocked and she found it by the phone number she could see when I called i.e. I didn't have to give her any information. Few people have that much time to spend on trying to get something as simple as a member' number. Horribly poor service with rude people answering phones and numbers online that are incorrect. For the money I spend at their hotels, customer service should be better.

"We are very proud of our Fairfield brand and we do not discriminate or treat our members or valued nonmembers as second class citizens in any way. We do award our premium room types to our Elite arrivals based upon their rewards level and very much like Military rank, the best benefits go to those who have obtained the highest level of membership first."

Courtyard Foxborough/Mansfield - We booked a stay for 1 night (Sat) to be in close proximity to the location of our daughter's tournament the next morning (Sun). The hotel was full and we noticed there was a party in the room below us. My husband was concerned and mentioned this to the guy at the front desk, saying that we just want a quiet room. When we went to bed around 10pm, it was quiet. To this the guy assured us that if there are any noise issues, he has no problem taking care of them. Around 11:30 pm, all hell broke loose and the noise levels kept increasing until about 12:30am when we actually got out of bed to look outside. Our room was courtyard facing and the amount of people out there was incredible! In addition, we could see the lobby was packed full of people and it appeared that party was in full force.
My husband made several attempts to call the front desk, but no answer. So he got dressed and walked down to be further horrified by not only the noise, but the sheer number of people. He approached the desk to speak to the staff. The same guy from earlier, now just sat back and shrugged when my husband told him how loud it was in our room saying, “what am I supposed to do? There are 3 weddings here tonight!” He never mentioned this at 6 pm when we could have possibly found another place to spend the night.
My husband came back to the room and was furious. He has been a Gold member for many years and was appalled at the response by staff. At this point, I should mention that his cousin is the General Manager of this hotel, so our expectations going in were even higher. So now the widespread smoking was becoming obvious to me as I could not only smell it, but feel it in my chest. Now I tried to call the desk - no answer. Were they unable to hear the phone ringing due to the noise level? It’s possible. My guess is the complaints were coming in and they were avoiding answering the phones. So, I got dressed and headed out the door.
My 10 yr old daughter, who was crying because she JUST WANTED TO SLEEP wanted to come with me. As we approached the lobby, the noise level was so unbelievable, I thought for sure the police would be called. There was only 1 staff member at the desk (the night auditor), 1 staff member in the cafe, and 1 staff member from housekeeping. The night auditor was completely overwhelmed and when I asked for the manager, she replied that there was no manager on duty. I asked her to call the manager to come in to deal with this and she apologetically said she couldn’t. I then asked her to call the police, to which she told me she already had and they said they couldn’t do anything. The housekeeper was also very apologetic and it seemed she was giving the night auditor some emotional support. It was nearly 2 am at this point.
The guests in the lobby were obviously intoxicated and there was no indication they would be ending the party any time soon. My daughter was starting to cry again and saying, “mommy let’s go home, I don’t want to stay here.” The night auditor offered us a room behind the office/staff areas that was not courtyard facing in hopes it would be quieter and less smoky. There were other guests coming to the lobby to complain. We got our things and moved into a new room at 2 am. It was quieter and we could no longer smell smoke.
We finally fell asleep and were awakened several times by drunk guests yelling, bumping into walls, and finding their way to their rooms. It was well after 3 am when the hotel was actually QUIET. In the morning, we could leave fast enough. There were new staff at the desk and we were told our stay would be credited back to our account. We asked to speak with the manager (Assistant GM) and although she apologized for our troubles, she justified their behavior in allowing hundreds of people to party all night in the lobby because they paid for that benefit. It seems that the culture at this location is one that caters to weekend all night parties, smoking, and sadly the few weekend guests who want to sleep are outnumbered by those who don’t.

Always great suggestions.
On my last visit I left some clothing articles in the room after vacating. They arrived at my house before I realized they were gone. That only happens at Dubuque Fairfield. All other forgotten items are gone. The rooms are always clean and everything works.

This is including some late night munchies from the bar. Coffee and breakfast every morning and $40.00 parking every day.
My room was said to have a view of the pool. Actually there was a tree right outside my room, no view at all of the pool. My room must have been above 1 of their banquet rooms. Music was blasting so loud it was actually bumping off my room walls, no sleeping in early. I must have been sandwiched between 2 parties and their meeting area was my door, no sleeping till after 2am. Another night I smelled weed. I'm ok with that but then an alarm sounded in the middle of the night then staff came over a loud speaker twice to reassure us everything was ok.
Every night was something different. The place was out of control with staff not worried about other guests. Nothing was done about the loud music every night that went on for hours. I contacted Marriott and they told me they have no control over their guests and a refund was not possible because I had received a discounted rate.

We stayed at the Schaumburg location to attend an event. The catering left quite a bit to be desired, and they seemed to be running short on things like linens, etc. Definitely did not seem to be the fault of the event sponsors, but poor planning on the part of the hotel. While there, we forgot an item in our room and didn't notice it until we had already checked out. The item didn't cost that much, but given that it's something we used a lot, we called to inquire. The desk attendant was very cordial and promised to let housekeeping know and promised that someone from housekeeping would give us a call.
Next day, no phone call received. So we call back again and get the same story again. Still no phone call. So, on the following day, I called yet again. This time we got a different desk attendant, who was quite cordial and sounded very accommodating. He offered and promised that someone from "loss prevention" would be calling us to discuss the situation. The so-called "loss/lost item" issue occurred on Sunday morning and here it is Wednesday and we haven't had anyone to call back!
So, I decided I'd give the Rewards line a call. What a joke! I've been on hold for nearly an hour now! Trying to use the telephone queue to get to the correct agent was a joke, too. I wanted customer service... the stupid system didn't recognize the term 'inquiry,' didn't recognize the phone number for the rewards account (and no, we didn't request to merge rewards accounts!) and the call was shuttled to RESERVATIONS! Yeah, right. Angry customers who want to speak to a customer service representative are eager to make a new reservation!
Just how lame is that??? I don't take it out on the entry-level staff at these places, because it's mostly just regular joes and janes who are doing their best to make a living. I put the blame squarely on the shoulders of those in the corporate hierarchy, who from what I can see and hear don't seem to give a rat's backside about LOYAL CUSTOMERS.
I would really like to know whether it's corporate policy (unofficial or otherwise) to LIE to customers and promise just about anything to wrap up a phone call. WE DIDN'T REQUEST A CALL BACK FROM A HOUSEKEEPER NOR A LOSS PREVENTION AGENT. Nope. That courtesy was OFFERED and they didn't follow through on that promise. We did ask for them to mail the item IF and when they find it. I don't think that's too much to ask, or to be able to answer a rewards program hotline in less than 30 minutes!

WARNING! This will not be a pleasant email. Since the week before BLACK WEEKEND Marriott has messed up my accounts. I have called 7 times to your "Customer Care Team" and spent at least that many hours trying to resolve a host of issues with my account. Not ONE issue has been resolved despite the adamant assurances from a few of the people that I talked with that they would "take care of the problems". At this time I have 2 case numbers; **. I have twice asked for a follow-up on their efforts to correct the problems listed below, but have not heard a word from Marriott. For some unknown reason, Marriott gave me a new Rewards number the week before the merging of Marriott and SPG accounts. That started the problems for me. So, my original # is **. The new # **. I have tried to "merge" the 2 accounts as reservations and prior stays are being divided between the 2 accounts.
As of this writing, I still have 2 active Marriott Rewards accounts, but as of 2 days ago I cannot log into either one! Therefore, my nights and points are not accurate on either one. Is it really that hard to merge 2 Marriott accounts? SPG is not involved with this snafu. My preference is to use my original Rewards account number. I need to get this Sheraton DFW stay into my original account and move the points over. My upcoming stays are also split between the 2 accounts. So, I have to log in to both accounts to check on these reservations. On the Monday after BLACK WEEKEND I was shown as a Platinum Elite. Two days later, I was a Gold Elite. What happened? I'm guessing the 2 active accounts have something to do with this as well.
Your telephone system no longer recognizes my associated cell number. This requires me to input my cell number to move along the telephone chain. My cell number has been recognized for years, but not anymore even though I made sure my number is in my profile. When I joined my SPG and Marriott accounts right after BLACK WEEKEND I had over 700,000 points. Then it went to 0, and as of yesterday, if I logged into one of my SPG accounts, I have about 640,000 points. Is there really no one smart enough to fix these problems? You had 2 years to prepare for this merger. It seems you may need a better IT department and/or consultants.

I told ** I want the police to Investigate the matter immediately because I’m being falsely accuse for something I did not do. ** said they have evidence.

No communication with the general manager at all During this false accusational period. I’m dealing with ** the sales manager Throughout the whole incident.
The only reason I found out about the statement the Springhill Marriott employee gave concerning me not smoking to the general manager was based on her statement that she has given to me.

Only took the sales manager ** statement, as I was informed by officer ** he did not talk to any of the maids or supervisors, didn’t go into the room to observe the damage area and did not obtain any physical evidence like pictures videotapes anything that might be substantial to this matter. Officer ** left a message on my answering machine telling me I can pick up the police report upon arrival at the station.
July 25th I arrived at the police station requesting officer **, ** was not available. Another officer told me that I cannot obtain the police report. The only way I can obtain the report is by subpoena. I shook his hand then left. I continued to contact the general manager but to no avail. I was always informed that she is not available. I stopped contacting the general manager because I don’t want to appear to be harassing. I feel avoided and neglected by the general manager and the police officer on this matter. Whenever I contact them in person their not available. From this point on any hotel I go to, I will ask the manager to come in my room and investigate every inch while present, of My room before leaving.
I don’t ever want to go through this again. For anyone that travels for work especially from state to states PLEASE have a hotel manager check your room before you leave and be there because this situation can happen to anybody, that happen to me. Just because a hotel has a reputable name for itself, PLEASE don’t leave your guards down. I wanted to share with you the process that I went through entirety. I hope this testimony can protect you from being a victim. I’m not against Marriott by any means, But I was disappointed how Springhill 1512 N 12th St, Murray, KY 42071 handling this situation.

In August new "benefits" will be introduced. As far as I can see, what it means is that the "benefits" of some levels have been stopped. I am a gold card holder and soon I will lose the benefit of executive lounges and the "free" breakfast. The most annoying thing is every time I ask Marriott if I will lose their benefits, they never give me a straight answer, they are like shady politicians evading an awkward question. It's a shame because I normally choose Marriott over others because I could use executive lounges. Thank goodness there are plenty of other hotels.

Marriott Residence Inn - Yonkers - I recently checked in my parents in the 2 bedroom suite. The pictures they post are so misleading and deceitful to what the room actually looks like. The images appear much larger and nicer than what room actually looks like. We were all so excited to see my family and thought I booked them a room that was roomy and clean But instead we got a room that had ants & flies and has a musty smell. Also, get prepared to lug your own bags to your room and parking is very scarce. It was very upsetting to me especially since I wanted my parents and 95 year old grandma who came from Florida to see my son’s graduations to have a wonderful stay here.
I work in a field where our clients always need temporary stays since their homes were affected by fire and or water damages. We would always send them to all local Marriott hotels but after my experience and all I know now, I would never ever refer business to any Marriott again. Having said this, I was given a special rate for this room which still wound off being $250 a night and even with this rate, this room is not worth the money. I gave the manager, Hilda an opportunity to rectify this and she was not willing to accommodate me further.

Though my stay at the Marriott in Auburn Opelika June 2nd 2018 was quite good, I find that they charge every customer $50 dollars for possible incidental charges whether they occur or not. If no incidentals occur then the hotel reimburses the $50 dollars, which shows up days later as a credit on the credit card account. The hotel claims this is done by all hotels, but I'm not so sure. I travel a fair amount and find most hotels charge me what is on the final invoice they hand me at check-out.
I find Marriott's practice of automatic incidental charges to be rather unfair. First of all, they shouldn't take my money for any length of time if I don't incur the charge. Secondly, it puts the responsibility on the customer to check that the reimbursement took place. When I called their customer service to lodge the complaint they said it was their policy and ALL hotels do this. NOT TRUE! She wanted to sign me up in their rewards program to somehow solve the problem. I don't wish to be a part of their rewards program and when I explained this is unfair to make me sign, up she hung up. Poor customer service from Marriott.

Am very disappointed in the hotel staff and reservation dept at Marriott Lincoln NE. We are actually attending a convention there in a few weeks and even though we live in Lincoln we were going to support local and stay at the hotel where the convention is taking place. There was block for this convention however the first day only allowed 61. I had requested 4 rooms and only one of those rooms I am getting the quoted rate for the first night/week. The remainder rooms I am being charged an extra 110 for the first night and the rest of my 4 days I am getting the quoted rate as more rooms were blocked for the rest of the week.
I asked the front office manager if there was a way to just honor the rate for my other 3 rooms and he told me no. Now again I understand the whole blocked rooms deal but come on. 3 extra rooms. What would it hurt to extend the offer. Considering again we live in the town and really don't even need to stay at the hotel at all. We chose to support local and now I am thinking maybe we shouldn't. Maybe we should support Embassy Suites which is a block away and just walk to convention. I am a Marriott rewards member as well and after the rudeness of both the staff and reservation dept I am considering not ever staying at a Marriott hotel again.

I have been a rewards member with my husband for 15+ years. We have three weeks Marriott Timeshare and Marriotts Visa and are Platinum members. I’ve been satisfied with Marriott and used Marriott as my preferred hotel all this time until last year. Although our Timeshare and Visa are jointly owned and rewards membership shared, Marriott changed their policy that made the account accessible only to one member. My husband got it. Hence, I had to start my own from the bottom up. Frankly, I felt slighted at this considering it a demotion on my loyalty to Marriott Rewards. This really annoyed me and made me question my loyalty to Marriott exclusively.
I travel a lot for work and my company prefers Hilton. I started a rewards program with them and I have been surprised and pleased with the brand that I made it my preferred unless Marriott brand was cheaper in some areas I travel to. I feel that Marriott does a very poor job of taking care of their long time Marriott Rewards members. They have not taken any steps in compensating the loss of a Platinum status that I earned equally with my husband. I am very disappointed in this. I’ve tried many times to explain this to customer service since last year to no avail. I don’t think Marriott empowers their customer service personnel to take care of loyal customers.

In town for a big wrestling weekend and the power went out and the general manager Tracy provided very poor customer service. The backup generator was operating but only powered the common areas and NOT the air conditioning, it must have been 90 degrees in the lobby with no air circulation at all. The hotel management and staff did nothing, as far as I know, to make any kind of accommodation to try and make their guests as comfortable as possible. First of all, it was a very hot and humid day/evening and no staff offered ice water, fans or pillows, open windows and doors, or just professionalism and empathy in general towards customers' frustration. I’m just stunned at the total lack of effort from Marriott. I understand there is nothing that can be done about the power going out, but they could have tried to make the customers as comfortable as possible.
Tracy said NO comps, or reductions to the room rate or any other concession. Her attitude is flippant and uncompromising. The only thing she said was the power should be back on between 10 am and 3 am. She also said we aren’t going to do anything because it’s out of our control, “you wouldn’t ask for a refund from the power company if the power goes out at your house would you?” No Tracy but the power company IS NOT in the hospitality industry like you are! My son has to wake up at 7 am in the morning for his last day of a large wrestling tournament. I expect more from Marriott and I will NEVER stay at this hotel again. I have stayed here twice a year (Dec & May), I am very disappointed and feel let down.

On April 21, 2018, we arrived at Courtyard Bali Nusa Dua Resort. Hotel staff was very rude and not nice. We went to the beach club the same day and the beach was very dirty. Trash no one picked up by the beach chairs. On the beach club the shore there was trash like plastic wrappers, wood with nails, plastic bags and other kinds of trash on the sand. Also the hotel was not very clean like the lobby no one was cleaning and no one was cleaning the beach club. The workers on the beach club were just standing and talking to each other, and laughing at the people staying at the hotel.
On April 21 the guest next door were very noisy slamming the door and yelling on the hallway all night. Next day it happened again. I called the front desk. The security came after two hours. And when the security came the security started to fight the guest. There was police and dog guard. It was noisy all night. On May 1st we came back. The hotel manager was supposed to give on 3rd-floor room and quiet side. When we came back manager didn’t give us on 3rd floor and we asked if they can give 3rd floor what we requested. The receptionist told us he can’t give us 3rd floor. It’s what the manager requested you the 2nd floor. They gave us again next to the pool and restaurant. It was very loud because they played music to 11:00 pm.
The next morning we woke at 6:00 am hearing very loud hammering noise and loud talking, and really strong smell in the room. I went on the hallway. The workers were remodeling in the room and painting in the hallway only that floor. When I booked the stay with the hotel it didn’t mention on their website that they will be doing remodeling at the hotel and the remodeling went on for rest of our stay. When I checked in the receptionist never mentioned they will be doing remodeling. When I always booked with Marriott they always put online if they are going to do remodeling and what kind of remodeling they are going to do. They mentioned they will put us on quiet room but they did the opposite and put us where they are doing remodeling on that floor.
My husband had a heart attack on February. He is not supposed to breath strong paint fumes. We started to get bad headaches, dizziness, and nausea from strong paint fumes in the room. You can die from breathing strong paint. It can damage your health. And I am supposed to pay for that service. Also the hotel had wedding on May 2nd. We tried to go to bed early that day. It was very noisy. People were laughing very loud after 11:00 pm. The hotel should have the wedding inside, or have the wedding start early and end faster. The hotel would close the pool at 9:00 pm. They didn’t allow the guest to swim for it not to be loud but they had a wedding after 11:00 pm. The hotel didn’t say anything to them. It’s not fair for other guests.
The pool was not clean. The filter pump was broken for couple days. They were trying to repair it for couple days. When I went the beach club on May 1st I complained to the worker why they are not cleaning the beach resort and the other hotels are cleaning. They had fifteen workers. The worker started to get mad at me and said they cleaned the beach in morning but we were in the morning no one cleaned for ten days the beach club. On May 1st I called the Marriott corporate located in Salt Lake City Utah. I talked to Sharene the guest experience supervisor. She was very rude. She didn’t want to listen what I had to say. She yelled to me stop talking and to listen to her. She said they can do whatever they want, "If you don’t like it you can leave," but I tried to explain that I already paid for the hotel but if I left last minute the hotel prices went up. She said she doesn’t care if I lose the money that I already paid.
On May 2nd I called higher corporate. I talked to Debra **. I explained to her the situation that went on and she listened to me but she sent over the information to hotel director to resolve the issues. When I talked to her I told her I want to keep it confidential my name because I already complained before to manager but he did the opposite the first time. The next day everyone at the hotel knew I complained. They started to be very rude asking where we were from, and restaurant supervisor told us if we can give them a good review.
After we complained to the higher corporate they started to clean the beach club, lobby, hallways, pool one day before we had to leave. Every day there was problems but we don’t have pictures of everything. Only took couple pictures of the beach club and the remodeling. We stayed with the same hotel three years ago. The service was excellent and this time it was unacceptable. We stayed at other Marriott hotels in different countries too. Had excellent service. Never experienced anything like this before. It’s like motel not hotel. I would only be able rate them for their service one star. It is unacceptable. Their customer service and the cleanliness is horrible.

We took my mother on a cruise for her 95th birthday, which involved driving from Colorado to the Long Beach, CA cruise terminal. I made reservations at the Courtyard Cedar City in advance for one ADA room and one regular room as a midpoint stop to break up the trip. When we got there and went to the rooms, we saw that the bed height was ridiculously high. There was no way my mother who is primarily in a wheelchair would be able to get into the bed. I’m five feet tall and had to hop up a bit myself. I’ve been to a lot of hotels and have never seen such high beds and certainly not for an ADA room. When I talked to the manager about what they might be able to do, to say she wasn’t interested in trying to help us is an understatement. I was shocked at her insensitivity to the situation. Her response was “all the beds are the same and that’s our beds and I can’t do anything about it.”
In the regular room I had noticed that there was a pullout couch. So, we decided to move my mother into that room so she could go to bed even though the bathroom was not ADA. I didn’t want to stay there after the rude treatment of the manager and unsafe accommodations for my mother, but it would have been too hard on my mother to get her back in the car and load our luggage and try to find a proper ADA room. She was very tired and just wanted to go to bed. At our request, they did make up the couch, but we were the ones that had to problem solve the situation. I have never encountered such an unprofessional and apathetic Marriott Manager. I subsequently submitted a complaint to Marriott corporate but they were also not at all concerned about our experience nor the fact that the ADA room doesn’t meet ADA guidelines.
It was a very upsetting experience and as my 95 year old mother said, “I will never stay at a Marriott again.” The lack of regard for serving the disabled is disgraceful. I trusted when I booked an ADA room, that it was just that. I can’t risk ever trusting Marriott again when it comes to providing safe and proper accommodations for my mother.

I had the most horrific experience with Marriott. I've stayed with them a few times in the past and booked my employees with them. I've had issues with them once or twice before but nothing to this magnitude. I booked someone for a hotel a couple of weeks ago at a $299 rate for all 4 nights staying. They increased the rate for every night of the person's stay and it went up to $899 for the final night's stay. That is absolutely crazy to me! Anyways, after arguing and having to get downright nasty with them, they still didn't want to budge or refund the money that they owed me. They think they are superior and that nothing will put a dent in their wallets but I work for a large corporation. I hope you will take my advice and not stay with them. The guys behind the scenes don't care about their customers at all. I've never been treated so badly by a hotel, so I'm happy to say I won't be using them ever again.
