I felt that it was way too expensive and it did not include breakfast! For $200.00 I should include breakfast! It was a beautiful room and hotel, I think that it should have more amenities. Thank you.

Location of Ford's Colony was ideal, close to Colonial Williamsburg. Full kitchen, with all the amenities necessary, except the food. Stayed in a very roomy 2 bedroom. My stay was in October so a heated pool was appreciated. Hard to find a comfortable bed, but this resort had one. I recommend staying on top floor for the peacefully quiet atmosphere.

The rooms were clean and of adequate size. The lounge area was nice and the seats were comfortable. The hotel also accepted animals which I think was cool, so that I know for next time I visit. Breakfast included would have been a nice addition.

Bad service, terrible place. Bad bad food. Not to mention they SPAM call constantly, you opt out of the calls and Marriott has a promotion and they don't stop calling!!! 5X a day every day. It was my mistake to trust this company. Any company that uses bullish marketing tactics is just a crappy one. Never again!!!

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. But this is just wrong and getting the runaround with NO answers, just getting told we are not getting refunded for something we didn’t do.

After 20 years of being a loyalty Marriott reward member I am switching to Hilton. I was charged for canceling my reservation within the 48 hour cancelation policy. After twenty years of consistently staying at Marriotts weekly for work, I was given no latitude. When I called customer relations I was on hold for 30 minutes. When I pointed this out to the gentleman there was no apology or respect shown. The Residence Inn has consistently over the past year, gone down. No coffee in the lobby. No extra blanket in the closets. The furniture in most of the hotels is worn and looking shabby. I am moving on to being a Hilton member.

I am concerned about a deposit that was held from my card when I checked in at the Marriott City Centre hotel in Shanghai, China. The deposit has still not been refunded. I checked into the hotel on the 2nd of November 2018 and checked out on the 10th of November 2018. Until today I'm still waiting for that deposit to be refunded. The amount was 4000 RMB which is equivalent to R8743 South African Rands. This is really frustrating and I would like to know what I'm supposed to do now.

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 have been a Marriott Reward member for many years. I have a very high reward member level designation and have spent many thousands of dollars in their hotel system. Recently, I received a call from Marriott letting me know that my honeymoon reservation, NEXT WEEK, has been canceled because Marriott decided to do a renovation on their Beaver Creek Resort and somebody forgot to schedule the fire marshal review.
The fire marshal has shut down the entire resort and my honeymoon has now been canceled. I called Marriott to find out what they were going to do to help me find another location. ZERO! They are doing absolutely positively not one thing to assist me and rescheduling of my honeymoon period Which is next week! I’ve had these reservations since November 2017 and Marriott is not willing to do anything to help me get this honeymoon rescheduled. They decided to merge their rewards system with Ritz Carlton and Westin back in August 2018 and nothing has been the same ever since. Marriott you are screwing up! Royally! Marriott. I. AM. DONE! Hilton. Here I come!

Here's the bottom line. I've read most of these reviews and would say some are legit and some are not. I've stay at Marriott for over 12 years and booked close to 700 nights. They of late have issues but overall they are the best Hotel chain out there. Sure there are nicer hotels out there but you'll pay a pretty penny, your choice. I wish we all could be fair, responsive and set our expectations accordingly. I am at a Marriott in Miami Airport, it's pretty bad here. Paper thin walls, kinda untrained front desk team, Doors slamming most of the night... But hey what do you want for 127.00 per night. It's an Airport hotel.

Booked a stay via Marriott website as a member. The site offered to get a "vacation package" by adding a flight. Sure, more rewards, right? Wrong. Redirected to "Marriott Vacations", added my flight and went on the trip. Researched my "missing rewards". After numerous calls, put on hold for over 30 minutes each time, sent emails and finally got a response. "Marriott Vacations" doesn't earn rewards. They are a different company. 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.

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?

Arrived at the Marriott in Tijuana Friday late. We have AAA and the discount was not applied, the iron didn't work, the scale didn't work. Upon check out I asked for the hotel manager so my AAA discount could be applied and was told he was too busy to see me and to come back in an hour and MAYBE he could apply my AAA discount. The rates were in dollars and not in pesos. The Hotel manager's name is Raul **. Will NEVER stay in a Marriott hotel, OVERPRICED and the rooms are not worth the price, the iron didn't work, the scale didn't work, not worth it.

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. With all the hotels in the area do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else.

Avoid Marriott Hotels. They have gone downhill! If you book a room after reading my review you only have yourself to blame! They did everything wrong a hotel could possibly do. Without even going into detail regarding cold water, trickling out, forced valet parking, overbilling, horrible customer service, etc. Let me just say this, I have been calling and emailing Marriott for 1 week in regards to a month stay at 7 different Marriotts and I can't even get anyone on the phone or to email me back! They have gone downhill to the point of no return now! I can't even imagine if I needed to contact someone while on my vacation but since I returned home I cannot reach anyone! I have approximately 20 complaints! Avoid using the Marriott! You are better off sleeping in your vehicle than using this hotel!

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.

I called to get a copy of my bill. They wanted me to email a general mailbox, but I needed the copy immediately so I asked to speak to a person. The connection was poor so I had some difficulty hearing her at first. She told me we needed to set up a profile because I had never called before. When she asked for my phone number "in case we need to follow up on this request" I told her they would not need it. There was silence, so I said I did not want to provide my number and the phone was disconnected. All I wanted was a bill!!! This is another reason to avoid Marriott hotels.

I was given my yearly certificate for a free night (any hotel category 1-5). I tried to make my reservation downtown Boston for a category 5 hotel and Marriott now says they changed the rules and the certificate is only good for a hotel up to $25,000 points. I can see changing for future certificates but to go back and take back unused certificates is really bad business. I used to use Marriott anytime we traveled. I even just upgraded my credit card which I totally regret. I will be canceling my card.

Horrible experience at this hotel chain. A hotel manager suggests that staying at this hotel is pretty much like being part of the armed forces. "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." Basically, if you have never stayed at one of these hotels, you can rest assured that you will be treated like crap.

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.

I recently visited the Fairfield Inn in Dubuque, IA. Since Dubuque is my husband’s hometown we try to get there often. Dubuque is a great place to hang out with friends and family, conveniently located in the tri state area. A very picturesque area full of historic places, hotel selections are numerous. So why the Fairfield? Amazing customer service. First, this is the only hotel in the Hilton and Marriott group that will tell you at check in that they are pleased to offer you an upgrade. I have to ask at every other hotel. They will go out of their way to put your party all together in conveniently located rooms. They know the area and best places to eat, and shop. 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. The maids are all super and happy to do anything, get a wine glass, get a soda, water, etc. You can stay in more elaborate digs but won’t get the care and attention of the little hotel that could.

I stayed at the Marriott LAX in Los Angeles. I spent 4 nights using a discounted rate they offer. I choose to get away for a few days alone after my divorce. Every night I had dinner and drinks at this location. 1 night I had a steak dinner at their steak house. The service was nothing special. I could have been eating at Sizzlers and had the same service. The Porterhouse Steak smelled and tasted a little off but I figured it was their spices. I had 1 drink and spent over $130.00 on my nothing special dinner. After I hung out at the bar which I did every night of my stay and spent no less than $100.00 dollars a night. 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. They don't understand or don't care that my money no matter what amount it is I work hard and long for it. I am a single parent and my money is everything and I care how I spend it and who I give it to. Never again Marriott.

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!

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 honestly will have to consider using my Hilton account and start building myself up the elite ladder... Today, September 9, I cancelled my upcoming stay at the Annapolis SpringHill Suites.

We stayed at the Marriott County Hall in London on August 27-28, 2018. We had just taken a lovely 8 day Princess Cruise through the British Isle and decided to spend a couple of more days in London before going home. We booked a room at the Marriott. Well that was a big mistake because the service was horrible! We had many things go wrong and spoke to the management about it while we were there and when we returned home. The response we received was basically that their service is always superb so we must have been mistaken or misunderstood.
Just to put things into perspective I spent over an hour writing the best review (and naming many wonderful staff) for our cruise once we returned home. Marriott had requested I send them a review so I did. From the email I received after that it was clear that the management did not care. I don’t understand why they would want a review if they don’t care to hear any complaints. I have Marriott points that will be wasted because I will never stay at one again. I’m also canceling my credit card.

Was wrongly booked by Marriott reservation centers, booking for a hotel in a country I did not visit. Later when checking my credit card records I saw I was charged for a no-show in that country. When I arrived in the country which I had made the reservation for originally, they said I was booked at another Marriott in a different country. I immediately canceled the wrong reservation in the country I was booked at by Marriott. Marriott would not stand behind their card. Said the Marriott where I was wrongly booked would not refund the money and that I was charged as a no-show. I told them Marriott reservations made the wrong booking so they should right the wrong. They did not and I would never ever make another reservation at the Marriott Hotels as they don't seem to support their customers and stand behind their card!!!

I have stay at my fair share of Marriott and I have to say this was by far the worst. Last week I stay at the Marriott Stellaris in San Juan. The staff was very friendly and helpful when around. Concierge was never available and the tour desk was very seldom staffed. 3 of the 4 elevators were broken for the first 4 days of the stay and that was on a weekend they were sold.
Sometimes we waiting over 30 minutes for the elevator. The rooms were not as advertised. They allowed me to make a reservation in a King suite with 4 people even though the room only had 1 bed and then charged me for cots. Needless to say there was absolutely no place to walk in the room with the cots and king size bed. The room and hallway on the 7th floor smelled of mold and dampness. The room had no microwave, unless you wanted to share the only one on the 3rd floor - which by the time you got onto the elevator - what you heated up was cold again!
The room also had no hotel guide which I have never been to a hotel that didn't provide those. The pool area closed at 5 PM... WTF??? People on vacation are just waking up in the afternoon from all the clubbing the previous night - the pool bar closed and there are no pool lights - so no evening swimming. How about they clean the pool every morning and it's never opened the same time every day. One day the pool area with slide didn't open up until 10:45 AM. That is just unacceptable for families with children. I would not suggest this hotel to anyone looking for a more relaxing vacation.

I was a guest at the Springhill Marriott Kentucky location: 1512 N 12th St, Murray, KY 42071 from July 1st through July 15th. I was falsely accused and charged $750 for smoking and destruction of property on July 15th (Mind you I found out I was charged not by contact, but by looking at my bank statement on my way home to California). I contact the hotel about the unauthorized charge, the attendant accused me of smoking and breaking the edge of a bathroom mirror. She said it look like someone broke it and try to glue or tape it together to hide the damage. I told her that was not by my hand nor did I smoke in the room. Then she told me to talk with the general manager on July 16th.
I called back and I talk to another attendant July 15th and told her about the accusations that was against me, she told me she was sorry that I was going through this. I told her I don’t smoke. She agreed and said I know you don’t I never seen you out there smoking. She also said she will bring this up to ** the general manager. I told them they must have the wrong room. I don’t smoke and didn’t break anything. I worked 12 hours straight every night. I use their premises for rest only. When one of their fellow employees told the general manager I did not smoke she never saw me smoke they change their statement. They said I broke a mirror look like someone tried to glue it or tape it to hide it from being broke. Then ** change her statement saying I broke a window. Leaving inconsistent messages on my answering machine, that I still possess.
** the sales manager was only accusing me, not listening to me at all. I told the sales manager ** July 17th can I please speak with ** the general manager. ** said ** isn’t available. 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. They told me They watch the maid on the camera go into my room and a second later ran out because of the discovery. Got to be kidding right. 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.

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.

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.

Am very disappointed in the hotel staff and reservation dept at Marriott Lincoln NE.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My boyfriend and I have stayed at the Marriott several times. We were so close to the staff that they would hug us coming and going. Our last stay was in March of this year. Our room was cleaned on our last night there. We were down at the bar/restaurant having dinner and drinks. When we arrived back to our room, all of our belongings were stolen and our mattress was bare.
We immediately called the front desk and they said they would “look into it.” This was on a Sunday night and we had to work Monday at 6am. 5am rolled around and we still did not have our belongings or a callback. We went down to the front desk and sat for 5 hours without a resolution. We both had to call out of work for this and they were not willing to do anything! We have filed a police report and gotten to the top of Marriott corporate. They still are saying “We’re sorry, if we find your items we will ship them to you.” Absolute worst company I have ever interacted with. They are horrible at customer service. Please please do not stay here. I have stayed at hundreds of hotels in the US and I have NEVER had my items stolen.

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.

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 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.

As always any Marriott Hotel stands up to our standards no matter where it is located. The beds and linens are always outstanding and depending on which group the concierge and on site restaurants are great and the health (pool, whirlpool, exercise room is clean and nice to use with enough non-room towel to enjoy your exercise and or relaxation.

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. They give horrible customer service and don’t follow up when your things dissappear from their hotels.

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!!!
