I stayed at a Marriot Hotel in Fairfield, Ca for several months for work and I was very comfortable. The rooms were very large. I had a studio and it was suitable enough to live in. The place is clean, quiet and has good breakfast and evening meals. It was a great home away from home. The gas fireplace was an added benefit that was a great amenity. The kitchenette and full size refrigerator were perfect when I cooked at home otherwise the evening snacks were sufficient for meals. The staff were EXCELLENT!!! The management always went out of their way to provide excellent service. They were always proactive and listened to their clients. Very friendly and accommodating staff. As an example when I was ill they went to the store for me to purchase an item and brought it to my door within 15-20 minutes. The evening that I checked in they called my room to see if it was to my satisfaction.

I refused to stay in Boston over parents weekend, at $350.00/night & up. The Boston Marriott in Burlington, MA was affordable (mother & 2 daughters) and close to my daughter's college. Good service. Rooms are very clean, comfortable & nice. Also, parking was civilized: no charge and easily available. I'm totally happy at this hotel and will stay there again.

The staff at both hotels could not have been better in Vienna and Woodbridge, VA. The staff, quality and amenities were more than excellent. The whole family enjoyed the entire weekend. Dining room layout left a little to be desired, mostly for couples, in their defense we were traveling with a fairly large group of eleven.

Well how about pre paying for a room and Marriott saying the room isn't paid for. Then a rude agent does nothing to help the situation, claiming they can't even discuss the reservation with you. Pathetic, crappy customer service. They should be embarrassed. Find another hotel chain. If you have a problem they will do nothing to fix it!

I loved that Marriott Courtyard in Dallas, TX, USA & didn't want to leave it! Everything at this Marriott Courtyard looked new, pristine & clean. The breakfast buffet was lovely. The rate was 30% less than I paid for a room at a nearby filthy rundown Motel 6 with broken door lock!

I rarely write a blistering review, but Marriott & SPG have earned this one. I received a notice that I could link my Marriott Rewards and SPG rewards accounts, and that my Marriott status would apply to SPG. That occurred; however, I was 4 days away from platinum status (75 nights) with all Marriott stays, and decided to book a 20-night stay at a Sheraton property (much more expensive). I since learned that those 20 nights WON'T apply to my Marriott rewards status. Called the SPG rewards customer service, and was told this is their policy - there is nothing they will do to remedy the situation - and, it will be another year before the account sync process will be finalized. Marriott - SPG executives, brilliant policy decision - mistreat your most loyal customers, because of your system sync issues, and don't allow for a manual override of the policy to appease us. Client delight score - less than zero...

The new "Marriott" is the old Sofitel, a hotel I had frequented in the 80s & 90s. It is just as pleasant an experience now as it was then. The ambience at the Edina, MN location is all there, from the front desk to the room. The restaurant has changed... not for the better. Under the Sofitel banner it was French, and very comfortable. Now it has been changed to an open environment which is quite noisy. They're trying hard, but missing.

I like the location of the Marriott Hotel in Beorne, TX. It is a nice place to stay with a friendly staff. The hotel is clean and pleasant. My only complaint is the pet policy. Online, it says the hotel is pet friendly so I picked a room. No mention of an up-charge online. Got surprised at check-in. I think charging an extra $50 for a small dog is ridiculous.

Marriott in Overland Park MO. As I am writing this review at 2am and since the beginning of the evening there are dozens and dozens of people on the floor screaming, drinking, shouting. Reported to the front desk numerous times since 10 pm and staff acknowledge the problem but was not able to control the chaos. This is an executive floor - meant for business. Hotel hosted and sold rooms to attendees of Masonic conference and placed hundreds of them throughout all floors. Cannot tell either because hotel allowed members of masonic group free behavior or hotel staff could not control them, but drinking screaming partying right in the corridors was going on until 2 am. Total disregard for other people staying at the hotel. Hotel could keep at least one floor for other customers, but they didn't. Impossible to sleep or rest at all - what about people who have to work or drive tomorrow morning? I never have experienced anything like it! Total chaos!

Booked room months in advance. Paid at 2:30 pm. Verified two beds. Was told check in was at 4 pm. Was told sold out the night before which should not matter when booked months ahead. Was told room not ready be ready at 4:00 pm. Go back was told sold out. Would have to take a king bed. And they sent a deflated blow up mattress for our two tween children to sleep on.

We stayed at your Marriott Harbor Bay FL over New Year's. 6 of us flew down, $2400, I used 400,000 points, we ate bad fish and undercooked chicken at the restaurant near the Pool bar on day 2, and we all got food poisoning that ruined our vacation. Our trip was ruined! I contacted the hotel and all they offered was a $500 refund. This is not acceptable, please all I want is our points back and the refund for daily resort fees (that we couldn't use) for our 3 rooms and the meal that made us so sick and ruined our reunion.

We have experienced issues with a few of our Marriott stays over the last 6 months. We have experienced dirty rooms, discrimination for using a service animal (this is an entire story-don’t stay with Marriott if you use a service animal-PERIOD), rude service, and problems with our rewards accounts. After every incident I talked to either the front desk or called Marriott directly, and have had HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. They do nothing to resolve issues and are rude and unapologetic. Staff seems poorly trained and Marriott no longer seems to value customer happiness. We will no longer be Marriott customers because of these issues. I recommend Hilton hotels.

We booked a room with The Marriott and were charged a fee in advance and when we tried to cancel 6 days prior to our lock in date they refused and won't refund us our money. The dates they are saying are not what we have on our paperwork in BOLD and every person from Marriott; Marriott Rewards, Marriott Customer Service and the Actual Marriot Hotel where the stay is can't refund us because they "don't have the authority". I have provided them with all the information and still they are blaming another company but the charge on my credit card that shouldn't have happened is from Marriott.
I find it interesting when someone says "we are keeping your money for the booking". I also was told yesterday that they were going to call me back. To not receive a phone call it would appear they are trying to push this off till after the actual cancellation date comes up. Very sad that this is what customer service is coming to. Please keep in mind I tried to cancel on 1/19/18 and my cancellation date is 1/25/18 per the documentation for a stay on 3/9/18. That's a lot of notice and I've been communicating with everyone since 1/19/18. @Marriott you should be ashamed of yourselves for misinforming people, allowing others to misinform and not returning your customer's money.

We are Marriott cardholders and booked a room with 2 double beds for SoHo in NYC for December 22-26th 2017 at the rate of $145 per night. The room could be canceled by Dec 19 with no penalties... Dec 20, 2 days we are to arrive, I received an email from Marriott at 3:42 PM stating that I didn't have enough points to pay for the stay and to call this 800 number. When I got home from work, I called and was on hold for 1 hour... spoke with several different people and no one could help me.
First of all I never intended to pay with points... I thought I was using my Marriott credit card. I finally got a man who called the hotel to find out they had no double rooms and that the rate was $289 per night. I was so stressed as this was our Christmas holiday, my husband was at a board meeting and I didn't know what to do. The man on the other end of the phone said the best they could do was give us one night for $285... big deal... double the price for 4 nights.
So I canceled the reservation, which they were very quick to accept stating no penalty even though it was after the date. I was devastated as we had friends coming in on different days to meet us and my 91 year old father was coming on Christmas day so everyone's plans were just a big giant mess. I wrote to BBB that night and didn't get a response until lunchtime on Friday... the GM, who had extremely poor grammar, offered us 20,000 points; however, that is only worth one half of a night in NYC.
Corporate is trying to say he offered us 180 per night but clearly that is not the case as there were two of us on speakerphone. They sold our room at the higher rate and just wanted to knock us out of the time frame because they were overbooked. In my opinion, that really sucks. I will never use a Marriott again... I will sleep on the street first.

We've been longtime customers of Marriott Hotel. My elderly parents were in town visiting and had stayed here before. We booked 11 nights and after the first night, my dad tripped over a parking stump in their low light parking lot after coming back in the early evening. He scraped up his head, hands, knees, legs and we reported to 3 bellmen and the PM supervisor. After a couple of voicemails to the mgr, no one responded or bothered to come check on him. On the 9th evening, the mgr asked us to file an incident report and said he would not do anything for us. He was not genuine and lacks empathy. It's common decency to check people who fall especially if it's a place of a business and you are a so-called manager. Seems like Manuel (manager) showed a lack of empathy and is not capable of leading or training his staff in this department. Horrible way to treat guests! Marriott should be ashamed and they should consider getting a real leader.

I have stayed at the Marriott over the years several times and recently stayed in November. My 4 children and I had to leave our home unexpectedly and we went to the closest place to home, or so we thought. Our stay started out ok but quickly turned into a nightmare. We originally planned to stay 5 days. Unfortunately our home wasn't ready so we had to stay longer. So I went to the GM and made him aware of the issue and asked him if he could give us the friend and family rate due to the circumstances and our loyalty. He told me he would do what he could and get back to me in 30 minutes. He never did, however, one of his employees told me that he gave us that rate and that once you stay 5 days you get the 6th day free and then it starts over until the next 5 days and so forth.
We originally went into the Marriott on points and as I explained to him I could not afford a $100 a night or more so could he have some compassion on us and give us a break. I was so grateful thinking he did, until I got a call from the front office on Thanksgiving eve telling me they needed a different card on file or we had to leave. Here came my confusion. The card I provided was supposed to be for incidentals and after calling my bank I realize they had charged my card almost $200 a night until I had 0 left on my card. Mind you this is Thanksgiving eve so hotels are booked and since they drained my account I had no more money. So my mother had enough points to help us out for 2 more days to get us through the holidays but that was the best she could do.
Our plan was to leave on Sunday to move into our place but that was halted when my account was drained. So I talked to the manager on duty about the charges because the last and only discussion I had with the GM was about the friend and family rate, which I budgeted for, but I told him from the beginning I couldn't afford the $100 rate so I was very confused as to how he could tell them to charge me the almost $200 a night rate. To make it worse no one ever told me anything differently until they took everything and were going to throw me and my children out, after his employee verified the friend and family rate and informed me of the 5 day policy and 6th day free.
Now my past experiences on check out day they slide the bill under your door and if you choose to extend. They provide you the rate and you agree and they put a hold for that amount on your card but do not charge your card until check out because sometimes you want to pay with a different card or method (which the GM told me should have happened). However, for whatever reason this time was different. When I requested to speak with him they tell me he won't be back until Monday.
So early Monday morning my twins and I go to meet with him. The first thing he says to me is, "They told me something about you feeling as if I mislead you but I'm not giving you a penny of your money back". So I attempt to plead my case. As I told him, I wasn't asking for a full refund, I just wanted them to honor the rate that he and I discussed (which was the friend and family rate). He says "No, not going to happen." So I asked him why he NEVER got back with me as he promised to tell me he could not provide the rate we discussed and why did his employee tell me he had. He says, "Yeah I should have but I didn't and I gave you the friend and family rate for 3 days so you should be grateful for that."
As I stated, I was very grateful for that but now I am in a worse place than I was before I asked him. He was very rude and disrespectful towards me and had an "I don't care" attitude. As I pled our case he told me to stop saying this could've all been avoided had he called me as promised because he didn't and he isn't refunding anything and it's not his problem because I came begging him for help because me and my children had nowhere to go so that's what he did. Once I realized I was not going to get anywhere with him, I requested the corporate office number (which they did not give me, they gave customer care) and once I found the correct number I reached out to them.
They acted as though they understood and once they finally got in touch with him days later they leave me a voicemail saying that he offered me the military rate, which I already had and I declined it so they wouldn't be able to give me my money back which was a lie. I have tried to go up the chain of command but no one is trying to help. I go there because it was like a home away from home but as I was reminded by family, I should have stopped long ago when 2 of their employees accused me of being homeless coming off the street to get the "free food" they give on mixer nights.
I told the manager and she told me I didn't stay there and I came from their other Marriott. I then informed her I did and I was very offended. After about 30 minutes after I had to convince them I was staying there I was finally allowed to return to my room. Before I left a few of the guests who were around me when it happened attempted to help me and all were disgusted by how I was treated. Thank God my kids were not there to witness it. I went up the chain of command and nothing happened.
The next time I went both of the women were still employed there and no one had contacted me about a resolution. Fortunately for them I had a stroke the earlier part of the year which affected some of my memory so I forgot this happened until I was reminded once this new incident happened. Both times I was treated like trash. Both times no compassion was given. To make it worse this multimillion dollar company was willing to take the last from me and my children. I am not rich, I'm a single parent and try my hardest to give my children what they need and for a company of this stature to treat me the way they did is unfortunate.
My children sat there and watched the GM disrespect their mother. They still say to me how mean he was and that he ruined their Thanksgiving and Christmas. Little do they know he ruined a lot more than that. I think it's unfair that there's no one to speak on my behalf and since he is a part of their company they are going to look out for him. This is not right. I cannot sleep because every time I do I have nightmares about what happened. I cry daily because I disappointed my children believing people are who they say they are and will do what they say. This stay literally ruined my life and made me lose hope. How can you hurt children in this way. My kids are afraid to go back there due to how aggressive he was being and if they paid me to stay there we wouldn't. It's the principle behind it.
Prayerfully, God will send us a Christmas miracle and mend what has been broken but this should have never happened. Not only was I affected but 4 innocent children were as well. As the employees and owners will sleep well at night, be able to give their children their heart's desires and they wake up to a wonderful Christmas, we are left with nothing but the feeling of disappointment, the feeling of being unloved and unwanted. I hope someone reads this and is in a position to keep little people like me from being devoured by the big business world.
My family and I are still dealing with this and if it was not for the grace of God and the kindness of other organizations like the Toys for Tots my children would not have any form of a Christmas. I hope and pray that this company can be what it once was, a home away from home, not just a source of income. I know I am a nobody in the big scheme of things but I hope somebody is out there trying to change this. My family means the world to me and of course deserve better than this. My prayer for all of those involved in this scheme will be given grace and forgiven for their malice against 5 of God's children. I am praying for myself and my children for a blessing and for God to restore my peace as this has disrupted our entire lives. I'm not sure if this will make a difference but I tried. With that being said happy holidays to all and blessings in the upcoming year.

Indianapolis Marriott Downtown - I am a regular traveler, typically 45+ weeks a year I am in a hotel room, mostly Marriotts & Sheratons over the last 5+ years. I arrived Dec 11 with a co-worker, after being remote for 3 weeks (holiday week included) to find that the bag we left with them had been discarded - our bags with a Marriott claim check on it. The following day, I had to replace my essential items (make up, hair products, shoes & bag); we were working with a manager.
Approximately 5 days or so, the general manager admits to an employee discarding the bag before the 30 day and 3 month policy. However, because there is no other record besides mine, the hotel will not 100% pay me for my replacement items; knowing that I did not replace all my items. The employees claim that neither bag included shoes (mine 1 pair of black work shoes & 1 pair of pink slippers; coworker 1 pair of gym shoes); yet was somehow OK to agree to the specifics in my make up bags (2) and a personal (adult) item. Additionally, the initial manager offered 30,000 points.

My Garmin Fenix 5S was stolen while staying. I reported it same day stolen from my room. Filed a police report, have called manager over 8 times, complained to Customer service, speaking to three people, whom the supervisor said they would follow up, no follow up occurred. Manager told me he would investigate for the past month and half. The person I reported it to originally never communicated info to manager. Then when checking out that same person acted as though they didn’t know me and told me a story that a guest had found it, took it home and called to say they could ship it back. After I told them I had filed a police report. I left a message for mgr. No callback. Call manager who says he knew nothing about the story or that I had left another message with this individual. I have contact the Marriott over approx 12 times and no one has bothered to call me or follow up as promised.
I travel for my job and due to this situation will never stay in another Marriott and also tell everyone that I work with and contact with not to stay with them and about their complete lack of customer service. This is the first time I’ve ever had something stolen from my room when traveling. Now I’m terrified my things will get stolen because of the situation. I just wanted my watch back, nothing more. I had a do not disturb sign on my door that day and noticed as soon as I got back that evening it was gone, tried to remote locate it and it said out of range or off. The watch holds over a two week charge, so it wasn’t turned off. It was out of the range of my phone. Don’t stay at Marriott.

Do NOT get a room at the Courtyard by Marriott on Blairwood Dr. in Louisville, KY place! I booked this room through Groupon because my Uncle was diagnosed with inoperable cancer back in October so my family decided to all come together for him for Thanksgiving. After fighting traffic and traveling all the way from Florida we were late for dinner so we stopped by the hotel to grab our key and then headed over to my Uncle's for dinner. When we returned that night and took our luggage to our room we found that the room had not been cleaned from the previous tenants. There were pretzels all crunched up along the side of the bed, someone's deodorant was laying on the floor by the window and one of the beds had not been made. So I went to the front desk and asked for a new room which the manager promptly gave me and apologized profusely.
When we moved all of our stuff to the 2nd room we found a LIVE baby roach under the sheets on one bed and a huge creepy crawly bug alive on the ceiling. We immediately went downstairs to the manager once again and I asked to just be let out of my reservations due to all of the inconveniences and nasty conditions. He was very kind and once again apologetic and even offered us free drink and snacks as we left but we declined because we were tired and anxious to find a decent room to sleep. The manager assured me that I would not be charged anything and that my refund would have to come from Groupon since I booked through them.
After numerous correspondences with Groupon they have refused to refund me my money because the "hotel has to give them permission to do so" and after speaking with someone at Courtyard they have declined to refund me my money. So long story short, DO NOT BOOK A HOTEL THROUGH GROUPON AND DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL!!!

The Marriott is not this run down hotel with awful rooms. It's quite an attractive place with decent breakfast and nice rooms, but their billing practices and the way they handled my money is absolutely atrocious. I checked in on October 12th around 10/11 pm from a 18 hr drive with my husband, mother and 3 small children. My card was charged $690 for 4 days and I was supposed to have $20/day of "INCIDENTALS" returned. That went without a hitch. The problems initially started when my family and I came down the first day to leave and someone at the front desk said "WHAT ROOM ARE YOU GUYS IN?". We responded and she said she received a noise complaint. We were lost. This was the hotel's mgr. mind you, she said she came up and didn’t hear anything. So we said sorry we've been keeping them quiet and said no one ever knocked.
Fast forward to later that day I called to see if we could just be moved to the first floor. I explained that I have a newborn, 2 yr old and autistic 4 yr old. I keep them tame but they are still children and will make some noise. So we got moved to a bigger room on the first floor for the same rate and it was perfect. I was there to visit my grandmother in ICU who ended up passing that Sunday the 15th so I went down that Monday and extended another 6 days. I was told that the total charges for the extension would be $602. I didn't have my card on hand but the front desk agent could still charge me because my card was still on file. Come Monday still nothing. On Tuesday however I got a $150 charge and minutes later one for $260. I didn't know this until I went to pay for the funeral. So called down that Thurs to see why and was told they these were just authorizations. I was told that the total cost for the entire stay was $1054.
I asked why I kept getting authorizations and was reassured they would go back. They got "reversed" Thurs and Fri but still not in my acct because I hadn't checked out yet. Mind you I've been calling customer service and tried speaking with a mgr who was very rarely available. Customer service couldn’t even get in contact with them. No manager or customer service mgr ever called back. I called them a combined 10-15 times. Once she was even there and I felt avoided because I was told she was on a conference call and would call me back. He, Never happens. Come Friday I got more "authorizations" of $520 and no one could explain why. So I called and spoke with the mgr on duty who said she deleted my card so the SYSTEM wouldn’t keep doing that. And I told her I could not feed my kids because of so many charges.
Hours later another $30 "authorization" case through. I called and called and they finally did a 3 way with my bank to reverse the holds on my card. $520 went back to which reflects in my acct. Well Sunday morning I check out and I asked what the total cost of my room would be and again was told $1054. I asked would any additional charges be coming out and was told no. I returned my room key and got on the road. I wake up Sunday morning to more over drafts. Residence in Marriott debited $1054 and $452... Confused I called and was told they would contact the hotel. I never heard back. I called again and was told they wouldn't reach the mgr. I called again and got the GM's # and I am will waiting. I had even gone down one day to the front desk at the hotel and showed the agent all of the authorizations and how my account was now $0 and I only have animal crackers and grapes to feed my 2 yr old and 4 yr old autistic son.
Didn't even bother to mention I was starving because I nurse my newborn. He said well where are the charges for the $150 and $260 and I said IDK and his reply was that they were probably never on there. I was offended and felt I was being called a liar. He had no explanation for the $520 and $30. I'm still at a loss for words. I was charged $690 initially, then $150, then $260... then $520 and $30. I saw the $520/$30 go back... Tuesday two days after check out I see another two charges of the $1054 and $452. Why!!!
This is fishy, and BTW none of my Incidental money was returned, plus the money just doesn't add up. I'm sick of Marriott over drafting my account. At this point I'm still waiting for clarity, money and more than just my incidentals and authorizations. I was up there to check on my sick grandmother and ended up burying her. I couldn't even mourn due to the stress of not being able to provide for my kids. The money they take out doesn't go back right away. I feel like I'm owed a full refund plus all the extra they took and complimentary week for the hassle.

I filed a complaint with BBB and got a response from a Liaison, meanwhile, my bank account is overdrawn and I am getting additional fees... So here it goes... My original confirmation was for the Courtyard Newark airport. I booked this room with points, a certificate and points + cash which I paid $100 for 8000 points. This covered my 3 nights. I checked in for what needed to be a very quiet work weekend because I had deadlines to meet.
To make a very long story short the hotel internet went down and I was moved to the Courtyard Newark Downtown hotel. I was told that my points and certificate would transfer over. When I arrive the front desk has NO clue what is going on. After speaking with their Manager and the other hotel Manager they finally get me situated but need my card for INCIDENTALS only. I check my card that night and 260 was charged. I immediately call down to the front desk where they assure me it's just a hold and I have nothing to worry about. I checkout and ask the rep at the front desk if I was charged, she says yes.
That Monday I call/write in and the management team assures me that I was not charged and that the hold will release. I tell them that my bank is telling me that it is not a hold but an actual charge. Now here we are a week later, and guess what. It was a charge for 241** and I have not be credited. I have since been charged 2 overdraft fees of 29 each from my bank.
I demand a refund for my room and the 2 overdraft fees. Not only that but I feel you guys should not even charge me the $100 I paid for the points, My stay was beyond horrible. I had to switch hotels after 6 hrs of no internet (which was the reason I came anyway). I missed my work deadline. Then to top it off the hotel I checked into second not only charged my card, but once I finally did go to sleep, I was awakened by multiple fire alarms going off back to back as they were experiencing an issue.
Your hotel staff/management team is horrible with customer services. They don't even offer you a Gold Member Welcome, don't as much as say thank you for being a member.

I called to cancel and was informed they could not refund my money. After many calls I compromised and accepted two days in the future. I reset a new date which was Sept 15th long before the Houston hurricane disaster. This time I received a call from the hotel canceling my reservation because of hurricane damage. I requested that they transfer my money to a different Marriott in Jacksonville FL. Denied. Tried to call, write, or otherwise contact customer service for two weeks, have not been able to talk to anyone. Apparently Marriott doesn't need my business, and I will find other lodgings in the future.

My wife and I checked in to the Springfield Inn and Suites by Marriott on 25 Sep 2017. We were satisfied with the greeting and the room; however, the coffee area in the room had only decaf coffee. We requested regular coffee, but we had to accost the maids to get the coffee we wanted. The manager seemed unable to get our information to the maids. We stayed there four days and had more problems. We did not receive the correct number of towels and wash cloths, and were forced to track down the maids once again to obtain our towel sets. The coffee and towel problem persisted throughout our stay, even though we complained each day to the people in charge. We will not be staying at Marriott hotels again.

Very grumpy and belligerent woman answered the phone (should never work in customer service).

We checked in to the Marriott Opryland due to Hurricane Irma in Naples Fl. First experience was to not give us any maid service on the first day. Then when we wanted to stay two more days because of the hurricane, we were told we could not even though I am a Platinum member. Then the Marriott service center said we could stay for an extra $560. When I told the front desk that was usurious especially in a hurricane, they said not only would I be charged that but they would kick us out anyway. This in spite of what others say on this site that they can't get in because the hotel gave their room away to other guests. Looks like Marriott does care for service to any of their customers. There should be penalties for companies that are so in cooperative with customer service.

I was looking forward to a holiday weekend with a friend I hadn't seen in 20 years. Unfortunately, the beginning of the experience was tainted because my fiance, daughter, and I did not have a room upon arriving to our hotel. I booked the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott - Indianapolis Downtown for a suite a few days prior to arriving in Indianapolis. My fiance drove 5 hours from the state we reside in and we made it to the hotel late in the night. After pulling up in front of the hotel for valet parking, we found no one available to park our car. Once inside, we were told to go 2 blocks down to an underground parking garage to park, which means we would have to walk back 2 blocks with our baggage. Fortunately, we thought it was ridiculous that we would have to walk 2 blocks with luggage to get back to the hotel and went back inside.
After speaking with the front desk representative again, we found out the hotel had "overbooked" and our room was given away! First of all, why were we not told this information prior to arriving to the hotel AND before possibly parking 2 blocks away! We were told there was a football game and 5 weddings and they gave our room away. At this point I was livid and didn't care to hear about the reason why our room was given away because we had already booked our room in advance, we're tired, hungry, and now STRANDED! All I could think about was that Marriott was being unfair, unjust, and greedy! I just couldn't wrap my mind around why they thought it was alright to give away our room when we had booked in advance... And that we would be okay with it!!
They proceeded to provide us with a letter which looked to be a general letter (by saying this, I assume this has happened on more than one occasion and it would not be the last), which had another hotel we could stay at for that night, then we could come back the second night and stay at their hotel. I guess we were supposed to be okay with this and go about our business. Again, I was beyond heated! The hotel they referred us to DID NOT have suites! This was the reason we specifically booked a suite at the Fairfield Inn and SUITES. Fairfield said they would pay for the first night at the other hotel (Florence Garden Inn) and then we could come back to their hotel the second night. I refused to go back the second night to a hotel that didn't even honor our reservation the first night!
We were stranded for 2 HOURS looking for another hotel which had an available suite. Needless to say, every hotel we called in the downtown area was full, let alone being able to find a hotel with an available suite which was a necessity for our stay. Luckily, we found the Renaissance Hotel North IN Carmel, IN which had one available suite! They saved us from being stranded!! Thank you Renaissance!! This hotel is in the suburb of Indianapolis. All I have left to say is I DO NOT PLAN TO STAY IN ANOTHER MARRIOTT HOTEL EVER AGAIN! This experience was hurtful, selfish, and most of all uncaring!

I travel all over the world, in the past few years, I started to attended Playlist events in Orlando and Washington DC! After staying at the Marriott a bunch of times I signed up for advantage points, I think last year or the year before? Not sure. This brings me to my first stay in Washington DC. I'm a 70 year old totally disabled veteran. With purple heart plates and a handicapped card in clear view hanging from my rear view. They told me there was no parking for handicapped people and I would be charged an additional $45.00 a day parking, I said that's expensive. His reply was I can park elsewhere, I told him I'm disabled, I can't walk far, he didn't seem to care. I told the staff at the front desk, the young lady said she would talk to them, asked me to wait, she came back after a few minutes and told me they will not help a disabled person $45 a day or find other parking.
When I went on the website to book, I called them and asked if they had parking for disabled people! They told me over the phone they don't know! I would have never come to DC. These rooms are not cheap but they are very clean and nice. The food and everything in the hotel has high prices. 26.00 for breakfast, all that you know before you get there but another $200 for parking, no consideration for. I think I will go back to Hilton and other hotels.
I have stayed in hotels all over the states, Hawaii and Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Philippines, Holland, All the tourist trap Islands just mention a few. They all take care of Handicap people, I'm going to write to the chamber of commerce Washington DC and ask them about this problem. And every site that helps disabled people.

Retirement Luncheon held at Marriott In Ruston LA - We were very disappointed in our experience with this hotel. It is a new hotel in our town, and when we visited it prior to booking, saw that it was quite nice. When we talked with the person in charge of booking, she indicated she knew the caterer we were using and told us this caterer used a certain color tablecloth at her events. I found it odd that she mentioned what color tablecloth the caterer would use since any time in the past we booked a banquet with other hotels, and told them how many tables we would need, at least white tablecloths would be on the tables when we arrived to decorate. However, when we got to the hotel to set up, we found the florist had been there and put the arrangement for our head table on a, "Naked" table.
When I contacted your associate at the hotel she said that they had no tablecloths and had never provided any. May I suggest to you that if your hotels have banquet rooms and tables to be used for events, they need to have at least white and black tablecloths on hand to use for events? We had to go out and purchase these tablecloths to use. I can't imagine any individual having these on hand to use for their event, nor can I imagine a hotel of this size not having these on hand at all times. When you pay $400.00 for the use of half a banquet room, I would think providing tablecloths would be a given. I might also add that trying to get any help after getting there to bring in a table was a very long process since they were quite slow in getting this done, and we were on a schedule before the luncheon started. I hope you will review this email and consider making some changes at this location, and any other of your locations if this is how you handle bookings.

When customer care asked to speak to ** he disappeared in the back, left us standing there for forty minutes and my mother sitting in the wheelchair, and then my brother was told on the phone that the Fairfield Marriott on 58th Street had ADA rooms with two beds and bars by the toilet available. Oh, guess what, the only ADA thing in the bathroom was a bar in the step in tub. The toilet was not raised and there were no bars. How can a hotel give a guaranteed reservation, then give away the room? And why is there no manager on duty at that Marriott? Stay away. Stay away. In addition, there were mouse dropping in the lobby. Maybe due to the construction... but gross.

I bought 3 tickets and the person at the desk lied to us saying the tour is $24 (which actually is $18.00) and $10 service charge but I paid $108 so technically I was charged $36. When question he said the rest is for train tickets to and fro. Everything that happened here is fine. But when I noticed the ticket was invalid right as soon as I checked into the room. I went back to him and showed it to him. He was shocked or at least pretended to be. So he took his time and came back to tell me he has no more tickets and would refund.
I asked him for the void transaction receipt, he said it would take time as he had to call the main office blah blah, I said "Okay please leave it at the front desk," and smiled and left. Came back and asked at the front desk about the receipt after explaining everything to him but all he said was he had no idea. So next morning I went to the concierge and spoke to a gentleman named Peter and he guaranteed everything will be fine and told me to wait 5-7 business days and I will get the refund of $108. It's 11 DAYS and no one has either contacted me neither do I see a refund on my account.
THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED FROM JWM. First cheating customers with the price of a tour? Second giving wrong information to make small bucks out of it. It's been more than a month and more than 30 business days and no one has contacted me yet, sent a refund or has given me any update of what the hell is happening.

After a 15 hour day of travel, I arrive at the Marriott Portland Downtown hotel and am given the smallest room in the hotel. With a four night reservation at an average of $300 per night, the room I was given has a long hallway with a very small room at the end. I asked for a regular size room with a water view (which I paid for), and was told I have to wait until tomorrow. So, I have to stay in the smallest room in the hotel tonight, then pack my bags again in the morning and transfer to another room. I am attending a conference and this is very inconvenient. What is interesting is the man who was also at the front counter when I was checking in wanted to have his multiple room reservations on the same floor. The hotel upgraded him to a suite to make him happy. And the only offer I get is to stay in the smallest room in the hotel, unpack, repack and "we will move you tomorrow". This is an interesting way to treat a woman.
I have over 700,000 Marriott points so I stay with Marriott quite frequently. I cannot believe the price they expect me to pay for a room that is only a bit larger than the king size bed in it. This is deceptive advertising. I have the room description promised in my reservation. However, this is not the room I received. I will not be recommending Marriott Hotels and I will go out of my way not to stay at Marriott in the future. I will take my business elsewhere.

This is not a priority in the renovation process". I voiced my concern at check out and all I was told is, "I will let the manager know." Nothing was done. I called the 800 customer service number who in return called the manager on site. She offered 10,000 points and simply stated, "This is all we can do." The attitude of the staff is so unconcerning.

Suddenly she just played dumb and her end of phone was dead silent. I asked a couple more times and waited, then she hung up after 10 more seconds.

There were also other issues. We requested an electric kettle as we only drink tea not coffee and were told that there weren't any. As we were there for 9 nights it would have been nice to have regular plates & glasses. All we had for the length of our stay were paper plates & cups. In the end we purchased some cups & glasses. It may seem trivial but drinking out of paper for 9 nights is not something I am happy to do. Your prompt response to this matter would be appreciated.

On June 5th I made a reservation through Expedia, that was confirmed for late check in. We made this trip to see and pay our respects at the National Law Enforcement Memorial in DC where 38 names are inscribed - all giving the ultimate sacrifice in our city. On June 11th I was sent another confirmation. When we arrived at DC by M Landover MD - 8330 Corporate Dr. 20785 at 9:00 p.m. I was told by desk clerk ** that our reservation had been cancelled. When I inquired as to how this happened the desk clerk told me I must have cancelled it - He knew that was not true. Then he said, Expedia must have cancelled it - also knowing that was a lie. After talking to the manager on the 22nd of June, she told me that they all knew that the hotel had been overbooked. Why would the desk clerk lie?!
The truth is that the hotel overbooked and they simply would have LEFT US STRANDED. My wife and I and our 13 yr. old daughter had nowhere to go, the other hotels in the area were all booked. He offered NO help, No information, NO referral, not even a number to call. He told me he couldn't help me. He expected me to just leave. What kind of person leaves a family stranded in the middle of the night with no help? Did Marriott expect us to just sleep in our car 3000 miles from home? I called the manager **, and she never once apologized, nor cared one bit that a family was left stranded, only made excuses. What kind of company would treat a family like that - the answer - COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT!
As of this date, no one has returned my calls. I do NOT want any monetary consideration or anything other than the apology we deserve. What was done to us is wrong and not one person at Marriott is honorable enough to say so. I WILL however do everything to make sure no one from the City of Phoenix, the 3000 employees of the Phoenix Police Department or their families ever experience what Marriott did to us. It’s just business to you, it was a trip of a lifetime for us. SHAME ON YOU ALL!!

To the people who have stayed at the Marriott brand of hotels here is the major reason why you are having problems with the Personnel who work there - even the interview process is ridiculous. I am on their website for their jobs and careers and you will be contacted for an interview eventually. During the interview process, it seems they never ask about your qualifications or experience. They truly are not interested. It seems they want to know about any drama that may have occurred during times you've been employed. Why? I don't know.
But - you really have to think back to what may have occurred as a result of other people's infractions on a job (which of course is not what you would be concentrating on as an employee) of any company. At times while you're answering the interviewer will cut you off in mid-sentence. The people interviewing you seem to be in another place thinking about other things. If the individual who is interviewing you is not truly not interested in your experience and qualifications because this info rarely comes up during the interview process This may be also a reason why employees at the company are disinterested as well in solving problems.
I have been a "problem solver" in many of my previous Employments. This company has too many problems that I've read about on this website for any one individual to solve. Finally, if their "cause celebre" is Hospitality it is the number one thing they truly lack. I don't believe they care about the individual at all, in any way. The person who comes to the Marriott is nothing but a cash cow for a corporate entity that could care less about you!

This review is regarding my stay Feb 8th for one evening. We arrived at the hotel at approximately 3A after traveling for 8 hours via car from GA. When we walked into the hotel the lady behind the counter was too busy with some papers to even acknowledge our presence. Once she did, she looked up and said 'yes'. We were checking in under the friend/family discount and she was kind enough to allow me to email her the discount form so that it could be printed. After which she told me that my form was fraudulent and I would need to agree to pay the current room rate. I explained to her that my sister is a current employee and I used the same form earlier that week w/out issue to which she pointed to a wall of fraudulent forms and told me to look over there, “Do you see all those fraudulent forms?”
“Lady I'm not sure why you are sitting here calling me a thief and lack the ability to come up with solutions to resolve this situation OTHER than to conclude that I am the fraud.” We ended up calling my family member at 3 AM and she suggested to the lady to call the property she works for to confirm her employment and the validity of the form. Boom! Verified! We were checked in and I asked for my folio to confirm the rate was correct and it was. 4 days later a charge well above and beyond the rate was debited from my account... upon calling the hotel to understand the charge a whole other onslaught of incorrect information, unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. Ultimately the manager, and I use that term loosely, decided that he would charge me a higher rate because he concluded from his employees that I have a bad attitude.
I logged a complaint with Marriott (still not resolved) and provided my bank with my receipt clearly identifying the friends/family rate and reported their behavior as the FRAUD that it was. In fairness to the establishment I’d like to note that the hotel, itself, was fine and in close proximity to the highway and airport. If that's the only thing that's important to you, go for it. Just keep your receipt, check your account later and don't expect much in the way of service.
The manager emailed me in regard to my Marriott complaint and I have provided a screenshot below. Since that time he has reached out to my family members management team and LIED to them by telling them that she misrepresented herself as a member of the Marriott Customer Care team when he spoke to her after the complaint was filed. He clearly forgot that his email states, "I spoke to your sister..." His behavior is disgusting and unacceptable.

Marriott. Melville, New York (Long Island). This is the worst run hotel I have ever seen in my life. Management is ineffective. Staff is incompetent. I was there as part of a large group for an extended business stay. The night manager (a Michael **, from India) involuntarily changed our room assignments when wedding guests came in from his home country. The hotel ended up overbooked and he kicked us around not once, not twice, not three times, but four times total! It got to the point where I didn't even bother to unpack as I knew we would be moved.
Why he targeted our particular group I never knew. There were many other groups from which to choose. But he zeroed in on ours to target his inconvenience. In addition, there were days when the maids didn't clean our rooms. No fresh towels, shampoo, etc. Is this how the Marriott treats their guests? If that isn't enough he complained to our own supervisor when we complained about his management skills. That may be how they do things in India. But someone needs to tell this clown that he's in New York. I will never stay in another Marriott as long as I live. They should be run out of town on a rail.

I have been a Marriott Member for over 25 years.

I was told that I would be able to have a room for $159. Conference rate. I need a room with 2 beds in each room for the propriety of the guests. I could only have the rate if it had a king bed. And the room was $179.
I've NEVER had a problem in the past with Marriott. In fact, I have been met every time with such care and respect that I never wanted to change loyalty to another chain. Are you nuts to lose my loyalty to Marriott over $20? I am so mad about what I feel is bait and switch. What hurts even worse is the cold and indifferent treatment I received from you all.

I must start by saying that I am a South African citizen who was here to attend a conference at the Ernest N Morial centre. I checked into the hotel on Saturday 06 May 2017. I clearly indicated that my department will cover my room (including breakfast) and taxes. In fact this information was already on record including an American Express card number to which these expenses would be charged.
As per usual business practice, I was asked for my credit card for a hold to be put on it for other incidental costs. I was told later that this was about $50 per day for each day of stay. The lady at reception then put a hold on my personal credit card for an amount of $1920. I got the text message from my bank immediately. Upon seeing this and realizing that a mistake was made, brought it to the attention of the lady at reception and the night manager on Saturday. They apologized profusely and indicated that they would sort this out.
It is now Friday, almost a week to the day I checked in and the hold on my personal credit card has still not been sorted out. Usually I would not worry about this as no money was or will be taken from my credit card, but I have $37 in my pocket and under $100 available on my credit because of this hold. And I am now heading back home to South Africa. All the apologies in the world are not going to help me if I don't have enough money to get back home. I am leaving tonight and I hope that I do not require more than what I have for food and other items I might need over the next two days. All of this was caused by a person at reception not focusing on what she was doing. This is the frustration that I have.
And I want to advise the Marriott group to train their staff on improving their listening skills. If you have people from out of town, make sure you understand each other because as I have now experienced, it is all well and good to swipe a credit card, but undoing the mess that was created takes a long time. While I am frustrated with my check-in experience, I want to commend your Chef (Terence **) who lives and breathes southern hospitality and is truly an asset to this hotel.

Outrageous & Upsetting! Marriott Hotels had an absolute error in judgment when it came to customer health & safety, and customer satisfaction, as follows: As I travel very regularly for work, I have encountered many inconveniences, yet none like what occurred during the week of April 24, 2017 at TownePlace Suites Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. After having had a long travel day, I checked into this hotel. I went to my room and unpacked my clothes & toiletries. I set my personal toiletries on the counter in the bathroom. A little later, I needed to go to the restroom. As I began this process, I looked to my left. To my left was the bathtub with a bath mat laying over it & on top of the bath mat was a SOILED feminine sanitary pad! It might as well have been a cobra with Ebola, as far as I was concerned. I took a picture for evidence, but will not share it here due to its graphic nature.
I immediately called the front desk, but it was late & housekeeping was gone for the day so the hotel's "Houseman" came by to remove the disgusting item, along with all of the towels in the room. I was offered to move to another FILTHY room; however, I declined as I wanted to clean and properly disinfect all of my toiletry items before I repacked my bags & got the Hell out of that hotel. Plus, there was no reason for me to believe other rooms in the hotel were not disgusting, as well. I was booked for a four night stay, but of course I checked out the next day... having barely slept because I was so anxious about the situation.
The hotel's Operations Manager expressed their embarrassment and apologies by adding 5,000 points to my account. The "Bonus" receipt is documented in the picture & notes the points were given due to "undergarment pad in bathroom." After my complaining all the way up to "Mr. Marriott's" office, it was decided that 15,000 bonus points added to my account was "more than generous" for my experience at the hotel. I have added a pic of the email sent from "Mr. Marriott's" office. Keep in mind, 15,000 points is not enough for a night's stay at any Marriott property - in any major city. In addition, who says I want to give Marriott my business again. 15,000 points means absolutely nothing. In essence, the 15,000 bonus points does not satisfy or cover the gravity of the situation!
Needless to say, I have been very upset & unsatisfied with their resolution to this matter. Marriott has treated this situation as an inconvenience for me & not the health & safety risk it was. According to the CDC, dried blood & dried vaginal fluids containing viruses can live on surfaces for days. I requested to be put in contact with their Risk Management Department... I have heard nothing. Even though the email from the corporate office notes the Risk Management Dept will be in contact with me.
While all of Marriott customer service representatives were empathetic, understanding, and as outraged as I, when I finally got to "Mr. Marriott's" office, the Corporate Liaison, Kimberly **, was very condescending, expressed no empathy, and exhibited little interest in delivering customer satisfaction. While it is the hotel's choice on how to resolve the matter, Marriott's corporate office has much leverage in that decision making process. The corporate office could have & should have done more.
My experience was unsettling & egregious. There are No Words that can truly capture this incident. I was completely outraged by it. By not holding the hotel accountable, Marriott's corporate office condones and promotes their chains to continue to miss the mark & not meet the minimum industry standards, especially regarding infection control. After a week, I have calmed some but wanted all to be aware of Marriott's support of their properties' substandard practices & their disinterest in providing customer satisfaction. I will think on it more before deciding whether to let it go, or take additional action.

Dallas Marriott Suites Medical/Market Center- I went to Dallas for a mini get-away and stayed at this hotel April 2017. The second day there I left my hotel room for the maid to clean while I went for a coffee (20 minutes tops) to give her time to clean my room. I come back and my cell phone was missing off the desk. I laid it there to charge not anticipating it'd be stolen. The hotel staff did a card entry scan determining only myself and the hotel maid entered the room. I filed a police report and attempted to work with the hotel hoping they'd at minimum reimburse for the stolen phone which is around $270.00. "Staffer described the phone and case perfectly alleging she saw it but cleaned around it," states the police report.
I was informed they trust their staff and they are at no fault and will not reimburse or credit the stay for the inconvenience. If you want your valuables to feel safe in a hotel I do not recommend staying at this one. I've spent two weeks now trying to remedy the situation but to no avail. My expectation when I stay at any hotel is that I do not have to stress about my items being taken by anyone. I'm not sure how many people put cellphones in a safe as I was told I should have done but moving forward I guess I will pack up all my valuables and tote them around with me wherever I leave my room is basically what the GM and hotel staff implied. Worst experience I've had at a Marriott and the customer service if I could rate it in the negative I would.

Warning! Whilst the hotel is pleasant to stay at, but in my opinion do not give them your credit card. They put $500.00 dollars on my card on a hold, for incidentals. What incidentals, there is nothing in the fridges, there is nothing else to cause incidentals. I believe they do this regularly to create a running profit to run the Hotel from. Two weeks later and they still haven't returned the funds. I will be lodging this with the local law enforcement. I did not consent to the additional charges and they state I didn't have to.
"Thank you for your patience as I investigate the overcharge. It looks like your card was not overcharged but that it was authorized for any extra incidentals that may occur during your stay. However you didn't have any so the amount that I sent you will be the final amount. You should see that extra authorized charges gone in a few days, you can always contact your bank to see when those will be gone, let me know if you have any questions, thank you!" But the charges still haven't been returned, too bad if you needed those funds for other expenses! I incurred over $150.00 in fees etc. as a result of having to move money to cover this in my opinion is THEFT. When a hotel treats all its customers as guilty, and steals their money without their consent, it says a lot about its management.

My one question is - what was the cause of the tirade? She was unwilling to take responsibility. My verbal tirade was the result of my frustration of being ignored after 3 attempts of trying to resolve my issue via the online tool, that is apparently not working. How is a customer to know that the feedback tool provided by Marriott is malfunctioning??
Yes, I do have an attitude and that is because I've been trying unsuccessfully for over 3 weeks to get a Customer Service issue with Marriott Rewards - at least acknowledged (I've sent 3 missing stay requests), yet alone rectified. It appears that level of Customer Service offered by Marriott Rewards has diminished over the last couple of years, absolutely no empathy. When speaking to the lowest level agent you can tell they are just following the script they are given and then they start blaming the system and things are not working and there is a backlog and how awful the job is... Really? As a customer I simply don't care about all of this - so please don't tell me. Keep the dirty laundry inside of Marriott. Your customers don't care about the strife and struggles of Marriott Corporation. All a customer wants is fast and efficient Customer Service.
WOW, as I said the worst Customer Service ever. I have been a loyal Marriott customer GLOBALLY for at least 15 years. I've never had a *manager* hang up on me... Good job Marriott.

Then a few weeks later, there the charges are AGAIN on my card. Fast forward to a later stay. I paid for items that my kids and I bought as we went. Nothing was charged to the room. Today, 3 weeks after our one night stay, I get a random $40.02 charge on my account. Well, since I am back home in Dallas, it triggered the security feature on my card. Since two charges in two cities were made they shut my card down. I do not have access the ONE card I keep.
This is unacceptable. It's an unfair and deceptive trade practice. It is ILLEGAL. Each time I call, the billing manager says the same thing, "...I have no idea why this keeps happening." Please, don't waste your time there. You will be billed several times, in duplication for one stay/purchase with little to no resolve.

I am not sure if this is the correct place to rate Marriott Timeshare ownership or not but I have searched and can't find many places where Timeshare Ownership offers reviews. I do not know if all Timeshare works the same but I would imagine that they do. The resorts are very nice when you are there but it is a full time job trying to work through all the rules and regulations and fees that you incur as an owner. Also as they build out new places, the number of points needed to stay in the newer places are higher than the points you own so you are constantly feeling like you need to spend thousands of dollars more to keep up. Now maintenance fees are another whole issue. They go up every year and with the money spent on maintenance fees every year, you could just book a vacation.
No need to own timeshare. It is the worst investment you can make. If you want to stay in one of the resorts, go on Redweek.com and just pay for a vacation. Forget forking out tens of thousands of dollars upfront only to spend thousands more every year on maintenance fees for the rest of your life! Also Maintenance fees are always due in December which is the worst time of the year for a hefty bill and if you are late, you will be charged a late fee and somehow they are able to add interest to a maintenance fee. Interest on a maintenance fee?? Where is the interest calculation coming from?? It is not a loan, it is a service fee which is never taxed... just with Timeshare I guess???
Nobody ever wants to buy your timeshare so if you want out, good luck! I have no idea how retired people pay their maintenance fees every year when they go up every year so by the time you have owned it for 30 years, the maintenance fees just keep going higher?? Then you get to stick your kids or grandkids with burden of keeping up with the maintenance fee... Advice: Just plan a vacation when you want and where you want instead of dealing with the many rules and deadlines and fees associated with ownership of a Timeshare!

The next morning when she went in to get in the shower, the water was just trickling out of the shower, while most of it continued to come out of the bathtub faucet. I called the clerk and asked to speak to the manager. She informed me that the manager wasn't in. I told her the problems, and stated I would like to get refunded. She said, "I can tell you you ain't gettin' your money back." She went on to say that I could come down and get a key to another room to shower in.
Since we were in a time crunch with the four of us, I decided to take a bath in the tub, while my daughter, and two grandchildren showered in my son's room. I let the water run in the tub while I was brushing my teeth, and when I went to get in the water was ICE cold. Therefore, I had to take a birdbath, because there wasn't enough time for all of us to go to my son's room, because they had to use their bathroom as well.
After the graduation, the manager tried to argue that giving us a key to another room to shower in was adequate compensation. However, I beg to differ. How inconvenient is that to have to pack up your things, especially when you have small children! She finally agreed to take 20% off my bill. I felt like I should have been completely reimbursed for that room. I am an ex-army wife and have stayed in many hotels, and have never had that happen. They clean those bathrooms (I guess), so they should have known that the shower didn't work!! I am very disgusted that Marriott would attach their names to something as low rent as that hotel! I will be looking elsewhere next time!!

I have had a most unpleasant stay at this Marriott! I am well traveled and never had such a bad experience. First upon arrival I discovered there is a daily charge for parking that used to be free. There is no alternative but to use their parking because the hotel is literally on a highway. Management simply did not care and stated they started charging for parking because there is a new baseball stadium across the street. Basically they are price gauging and using the stadium as an excuse. Then I check my account there were excess charges. I called front desk and they tell me there is a $50.00 hold PER NIGHT. I stayed for 4 nights so a $200.00 hold that I had no prior knowledge of.
Then there is the gift shop $3 for a 16 ounce soda and 8 dollars for a pint of Ben and Jerry's. Needless to say I didn't make the purchase. Just giving an example of how inflated everything is at this location. The irony is the rooms are AVERAGE looking. These hidden fees and charges have totally ruined my stay. I literally feel like this Marriott just devise ways they can take money from people. Everything here is all about the money that they can siphon from you. So instead of me relaxing until check out time I'm up disgruntled and writing this review. Never ever never will I stay here again.

Pleasant, convenient, comfortable, very clean and treated well. Somewhat overpriced. Sitting there were newer hotels in the area and the parking situation is insufficient. The amenities and inclusions were average. The residence Inn in Naples, Florida is conveniently located on the Tamiami Trail, close to major arteries around the area and walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and attractions. The desk clerks were helpful, and housekeeping was on the spot. We will return.

Prepaid reservations 6 weeks before arrival at the Marriott Hotel in La Vista Nebraska USA. They sold the rooms from there. There was rude clerk and he said "you take what I got or leave". Did not try to fix anything or reduce already paid for three rooms two queens in each for family group. Room was passably clean but six people in two queen beds... We could have camped out for the crowded space rent 4 get 2 and then not all together. No breakfast and no extra towels and no trash liner, no refrigerator.

Courtyard Jersey City NJ -- I put my car in valet, it got ransacked. Stolen things from my car. Management couldn't really care too much. They were going to check the cameras. No locks got broken, or windows, so it had to be a inside job. I was there for a funeral. Just what I needed.

Atlanta Airport Marriott. I am a Platinum Elite Member! I have been staying at this hotel for more than 30 years...sadly...that is coming to an END! Always received the best of service at this hotel. I needed assistance with a larger or possibility corner room due to special circumstances. Front desk was "casual" at best upon my check in request. Room 1558 is newly renovated but does not allow room for extra luggage and hang-ups. I called down to front desk requesting assistance and was assured nothing available and would not be available to me. This Platinum card member misses the "old" ATL Airport Marriott and its helpful, friendly service. Thanks for "most" of the memories!!!

This is not a review on the hotel. This review is about Marriott Rewards. Stayed at a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel in Baton Rouge, La. They were just opening (mid-October 2016) and, in fact, we were guests even before the official opening. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was wonderful. Because it was my daughter's wedding, I booked several rooms, one of which was a suite. Marriott corporate personnel were on site as training was still being completed.
The Marriott corporate personnel training the front desk personnel even stated that since we were being so patient with them that they would add additional points to my rewards. After watching my rewards balance, I noticed that not even the reward points I should have earned were applied. I called the hotel and was told that I had to speak with Marriott Rewards. After going through several people, finally someone said if the hotel sent the folios showing that the stays were valid, they would credit my account. The folios were sent, but I still have yet to have the rewards applied. I sent emails afterwards to the contact with Marriott Rewards and they still did not respond. Ridiculous.

Called to make a reservation at the Marriott in St. Thomas. I was staying 1 night because I was transferring to St. John the next day. I requested the cheapest room possible. Representative convinced me to book an upgraded room because I could get a "special rate" if I joined Marriott Rewards. I accepted. The rep NEVER mentioned that the rate was contingent on 45,000 points. I was creating a NEW rewards account, how was I expected to amass points prior to my stay? I would NEVER have accepted the room. I never received a confirmation email, because the rep inputted my email incorrectly. I had my confirmation number, so I did not give it another thought. When I checked out, the room was not the $185 promised, it was $499. A total bait and switch. Bait the customer with a low rate and switch to a higher rate when they don't have the required points, which would be impossible for a new customer.

Recently made a reservation at the Marriott San Jose, CR. I am a platinum member and this was my fourth trip to CR. During the reservation process on the Marriott site Marriott offered to make my car reservation with Hertz at a substantial discount and would add a bonus to my account. Our flight was delayed out of Miami due to air traffic over Cuba due to the Castro funeral. We arrived in San Jose about 2 hours late. I contacted Hertz to pick us up and was told that since we were late they did not have to honor the reservation.
Needless to say we were in a bind and stuck without car in a foreign country. After a day we did manage to acquire a car at three times the price of our original reservation with Avis. At this point neither Marriott or I seatz will take any responsibility... and I am waiting for a response from Hertz. I think that this situation needs some attention and renters should be made aware of the problem before it ruins their well planned vacation. One had to wonder why there is no accountability in this matter. Thanks.

A very clean, up to date hotel. You walk through the hotel to check in and you feel like you are in paradise. It's so elegant. The concierge are always looking to help you. I would suggest this hotel for your future plans. Most amenities are included in this hotel. If you need extra towels or even dry cleaning service the hotel will offer this. As part of the amenities they do have wake up calls and newspaper service. I would rate the customer service a A. They go over and beyond to make you smile, make your day and give you a good feeling for staying in their hotel.

No issues with the cleaning - it was clean and well taken care of. Usually newer too which is nice. It is cleaned daily and makes it very nice. I enjoy everything they provide. The hotel usually has coffee, and all the perks needed to get moving on a daily basis and it would be great to the ones with the fitness centers. I enjoy a rewards program because it honors those of us who stay with the hotel over and over. Makes me want to stay more with this hotel. They are always nice and consistent with all they provide. I always enjoy staying there.

The hotel had free cable tv, complimentary breakfast with a very big selection of fresh fruit, juice of different kinds and a big selection of food. Also had king or queen size beds, extra towels, shampoo, conditioner, free lotion. Also had hair dryer, ironing board and iron.
They have a reward program where if you stay more than one time through the year you will get a free night. Also you join a membership and you get some points off of your airline tickets and if it is your anniversary you get a free stay. You also get so much off of concert tickets and other adventures. Customer service was excellent. Anytime I called for a reservation I always got the best deals. You could call anytime in the middle of the night and someone was always on the phone to help you. They know where all the activities are going on in the town you are going to be in and where everything is located. Very helpful.
