San Ramon, CA. As to the one bad apple: I was in possession of my verified AND PAID BY MY VALID CREDIT CARD RECEIPT and was told by this ill-mannered female that I had to give her my credit card, the same one with which I had made the reservation. She told me that it was Marriott's request to have a customer provide her/his credit card so that they could put $80 incidental charges on it in case I departed without checking out. I am a Major General in the United States Army and have never been forced to hear that last part of what I considered an insult!
On top of everything, I walked with a cane, was obviously in pain but not given an opportunity to sit down during her tirade (I suffered a serious rear-ender in May of this year and have a broken back). That mattered not at all to her. Of course, the apparent supervisor was so quick, friendly, efficient and gracious - and the young man who parked my car and couldn't do enough for me (getting me a wheelchair, carrying my luggage, and taking me to my room) that it got better right away. These two are gold - please thank them for me and keep them forever. Thank you.

Although the room in Marriott Hotels in Boca Raton Florida was nice, the view was horrible and it looked over roof. I felt for $175.00 a night and it could have been better.

Chicago, IL. My visit to Chicago, IL was for a work-related visit. I booked a room at the Marriott because it was within the corporate limits on daily spending. The checking in and checking out process are very expedient and require no effort whatsoever. The room was very clean, as was the hotel seating area and restaurant. The service provided by the personnel was above that of other hotels in which I've stayed in the past. Polite personnel provided great service. I try to stay at a Marriott each time I'm on travel for work, and also when I travel for pleasure.

I am very unhappy on how The Marriott Management team is handling my complaint. The director Pedro ** at the Aruba Surf Club lie to my face and tried to cover up what he did.

After I had to Investigate my due to lack of cooperation from Marriott I found the director Pedro ** had words with the vendor that he want the guest to have the Marriott staff move lounge chairs. I moved the lounge chairs myself under the umbrella I rent only to have the director Pedro ** to take his anger out on me and my 5 children. It took me 1/2 a day to try to find out what happen. I do not trust this hotel if the person in charge lies and tries to cover up what he did. After showing him pictures the tone begins to change but what never changes is that a liar is always a liar. I am here for 10 days and that disrespect I am receiving from zero response spoiled my Vacation.

My husband stayed at a TownePlace in Eastchase Alabama for over a month. He used my rewards number but because the reservation was in his name it did not count towards our rewards. When we called, we were informed that he would need to create a rewards account to get the credit and then we can swap the points to my rewards number. WHAT!

My husband and I booked a two night stay at the Marriott Courtyard at the LaGuardia Airport in NYC. First, upon check in, they could not find my reservation. After 30 minutes, the manager Salah then reluctantly agreed to give me the rate I had booked at, less $30 nightly incidental fee. This was on top of a $30 nightly parking fee. Salah and I exchanged some unpleasantries, and then he threatened to not honor my reservation and deny me a room. In all of my years as a Marriott rewards customer, that had NEVER happened to me. I asked for his business card, which he then threw down on the counter and stormed off. I reported my complaint to the Marriott and I will never frequent that establishment again.

It is my first time to use Marriott award. I saw there was a event called "2 stays for one free". So I reserved two nights in hotel. And I send the email to the customer service to make sure it is successful for me to join the event and can get the promotions. But half month passed away, I don't even get any reply so I called them. And they told me 2 stays mean separate orders. And I cannot get the free night. I told them there is no any explanation about the rules. And my mother language is not English. Two nights is equal to two stays. They really do not care my loss. And just repeat the useless stuff again and again.

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.

No one will do anything about it. I have spoken with both hotel managers and corporate Marriott. 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. Don't say here's a bottle of water on us for all the ** you went through. NOTHING!!! I am doing the best I can to make it as a single mother of a first year college student. I do not have extra money. That $241 was needed for me to make it, eat and commute to work!

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!

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. The state of Mass doesn't just give out plates or Cards for nothing. Other than that the hotel was awesome, the staff was great, Easy to get around inside didn't hardly use my cane.

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.

We had reserved a room at the Marriott on 92nd Street for my elderly disabled mother to stay in as she has a nine am doctors' appointment tomorrow (August 29th). The room we had reserved and which was guaranteed was a two queen bed room with an ADA bathroom as my brother was staying with her. My mother is legally blind and has a fractured spine which is why she is seeing the doctor. When we arrived at the hotel a very rude check in clerk, **, snottily told us that room had been given to someone else and the only rooms available were not ADA or had only one bed. When we complained he called ** from security to protect himself from us (We're old. We're not overly dangerous. But we were upset.). ** told my brother he could call customer care, which, in the end, he did.
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 checked into to JW Marriott on June 29th at around 1.45 in the afternoon all excited only to be cheated from you guys who charged me $36 per (INVALID) ticket for the Statue of Liberty tours which were valid only till June 23rd. 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.

The service desk person, act as if though it was a bother we even showed up. In fact, I nicely said, "I hope you are having a good day". I will leave the name out but I am well aware of his name. I then asked were they sure we had unlimited internet access. I was assured at reservation and check in that these services are available. The internet did not work. I called daily and would be told they would reset the router. I ended up using Hot Spot from my phone everyday, to teach my online classes.
The staff was well aware of this. Finally, one of the staff members told me "The internet will never work, They are in the process of renovation and I will not be able to get access. 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. What can I do with 10,000 points when it takes 40,000 to stay there? I would rather they keep the points and treat me with dignity and respect. I can pay for my own room.

I stayed two days in July 2017 at Fairview Marriott in Falls Church in Virginia. The hotel was very nice, however when I had breakfast buffet for $15.95 per person. I signed a credit card for $33.81 for 2 people. Then I decided to treat the other 2 people with another credit card payment of $33.81. I then gave a $7.00 cash tip left on the table. I checked out of the hotel when I received alerts on my credit card for $41.76 and $75.57. I called the hotel and the representative was very rude, he told me that if I did not calm down he was not going to assist me.
Subsequently, I drove back 30 minutes to the hotel to discuss the charges with the account department. I was told they put a hold on my credit card for $41.76 and $75.57, I have never in the life received a hold for payment at a restaurant. Also they were the wrong amounts. It took 3 days for the correct amount to be credited to my credit card. As a conclusion, if you stay at this hotel the buffet breakfast is not worth the credit card problems or the food.

Fairfield Inn Cruise Port in Fort Lauderdale FL owned by Marriott: We booked 2 reservation for our cruise in July 16, 2017. We had delays coming in due to the weather, which we were in constant contact with hotel due to late arrival. Upon our arrival on July 15th 2:30 AM we were given room 125. To say the least it was disgusting. We found dirty towel hanging over the shower curtain, blood on the floor on the toilet, and a dirty sock from the previous guest. When we spoke to the front desk the answer we got was "what do you want me to do". Spoke to 3 different people and no one cared. Finally one front desk clerk named Jose said he would forward to manager.
On our way to the cruise a lady Alejandra called to see what had happen but we were going through customs and missed her call. When my husband called back the number we were told she was not working that day and they don't know how she called us. They said they would give her the message. She never called back. If it wasn't that we had prepaid our stay coming back from the cruise we would have not stayed there again.
On 7/22 we arrive from our cruise, we were put on a early check in list. We waiting about 2 hours to get our room, I was #1 on the list with an unassigned room. I meet Jose the front desk clerk again and he says he is sorry for the experience in our first check in on 7/15. When we check in to my amazement we find stain of blood on one of the beds. We tell the front desk and nothing was done about it. We left the next day for the day when we came back blood stain was still there. No one even bothered changing the sheets or emptying the garbage under the desk.
We checked out and left the next morning at 7 am and then this same person Alejandra said she went with housekeeping to see the blood and claims the blood was fresh and wet??? How is it blood can be fresh and wet 2 days later. We had to put towels on the sheets to be able to sleep on the bed. This place is disgusting and no one cares about anything but making money!!!

We called down to the front desk and they said they would send someone up and no one ever showed up. They ran out of coffee for breakfast we asked if they can make more.

Maybe they got good commissions when making reservations. I didn't like the way the conversation went and asked her name. She gave an unusual name. So I asked her to repeat and then spell it out. 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. Maybe there is miscommunications during the early conversation, but I was loud and clear in asking her name. Can she ignore a customer's request for name?

On my return to Australia I found that there was the debit & credit, however with the 2 transactions and the different 2 currency rates I am now out of pocket nearly A$100. This also caused other problems as this account is used to pay other bills & there were insufficient funds for those bills.
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.

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.

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.

I was told that there was parking right at the hotel - Turns out they had rented the parking garage for the Cardinals game, had to park in the overflow lot 3 blocks away, drag your own luggage. I have a heart condition, this was hell. The room was small, cramped, looked like a room in someone's basement, and smelled like mold. Customer service did comp our parking - Which should be free with a $200 room, you had to pay for wi-fi. Just not a good place to stay. Very pricey for what you got. You can get a better value at Motel 6.

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.

On a recent stay at the Marriott Marquis I left a very special ring. 30-year anniversary ring on the counter and a glass of water to clean it. I forgot the ring. When I called the hotel later that night they said they were sorry there was nothing they could do. The ring had a value of $5000 but more than that it had a very special sentimental value. I could not believe the hotel did not do anything. They said they question housekeeping and that they never saw it. I can't believe a hotel chain the size would do nothing. My husband and I have stayed at Marriott's for over 32 years and we are very disappointed that nothing was done.

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.

I contacted the Marriott Rewards Customer Service Department today... What an awful experience to the point of the Manager - who I asked to speak to - calling me names and making accusations to me about my character and then ultimately choosing to hang up on me and telling me she was going to document in my profile that I went on a tirade. 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. This is how they treat one of their best, very loyal customers. Good to know. When traveling there are choices when it comes to hotels and I will definitely be re-assessing my choices. Net-net is your status with Marriott does not matter... Sorry, I have one level of Customer Service and that is Nordstrom.

First, I stayed at a Marriott in Winston-Salem, NC and was double charged. I prepaid for the room, and then they charged me for the room at check-in and held the incidentals on my card, double (yes twice). It took me weeks to get this straight. 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. Worst case scenario, your card will be shut down because of their ridiculous practices. As of today, I am moving my accounts to the Hyatt. Hopefully we will not continue to experience these issues!

Courtyard Marriott, Page AZ. We checked in and asked the front desk for recommendations for tours to Antelope Canyon and Lake Powell. We came from NYC and booked 2 night in Page only for that purpose. They insisted that they could make the recommendations for us. My wife spent over 2 hours with the front desk people selecting and booking the tours based on cost and time. The hotel took a cash deposit from us and gave us tickets/vouchers for the tours. The next day we went for the tours but it turned out that we were not booked on any. We spent the whole day driving from tour to tour but couldn't get in anywhere. The one your that we were able to do at Lake Powell was at a different time and we had to pay $100 more than what was in our hotel issued voucher. We never got to see Antelope Canyon despite having a hotel issued voucher for the tour.
We went back to the hotel in the afternoon and were very annoyed. Our entire trip had been for nought. We asked to speak to the manager, Jeremy **, but he had left for the day. We were given his cell number which we called. My wife initially spoke to him and he told her in a rude fashion that this was our fault and that she had no business disturbing him. The next day when I went to check out the manager was there. I once again brought it up and he said, "We are a lodging company and so are not good at making reservations for tours" and that "I should deal with this or go back to where I came from" - this was obviously a reference to my ** skin.

On March 7, 2017, approximately 8 pm I, Santonia **, made a reservation for Courtyard Marriott Isla Verde for a King Room, Oceanfront Balcony. During this call, I was told that I could submit a claim to "look no further" to assist with the lower rate is found on Booking.com. After the call, I did just that. The next morning, I received both my confirmation email and look no further email. Both has an incorrect resort booked for me. I know that I repeated Courtyard Marriott Isla Verde on my call and in the claim as well which leads me to believe, at this point the agent has booked me incorrectly. I immediately, canceled that reservation and booked a new one where I was again to submit a claim for a lowered rate.
The dilemma was that on March 7, the room was available on Booking.com. During the second attempt at reserving my stay that room was sold out. Upon noticing this, I called look no further to see what steps I should take seeing as the original mishap was fault of a Marriott agent. Since that very first call, I have received a chain of impolite, nonchalant, uncaring look no further agents. I was told that there is never anyone to escalate my particular issue because everyone I've spoken to is a supervisor. I've been brushed off as if it's my fault, laughed at, and hung up on. Even after, responding to the denied claims with screenshots, I'm still being treated terribly.
What is completely unnerving is that this is the first real trip I've ever had an opportunity to take and this Marriott was the very first place I called to reserve. It's disturbing how unsupportive and inconsiderate most of the agents have been. It's to my understanding that every call is recorded so to have been forced in circles for 24 hours is misunderstood and completely in vain. I find it hard to believe this is a distasteful trend of Marriott hotels and resorts.

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!

We went Fairfield Inn & Suites in Hopewell, VA to attend my son's graduation at the Army Logistics University. There were four of us, so I booked a room with two beds. When we got in the room, I realized the beds were full size. I thought a hotel with the Marriott name would at least have queen size beds. The beds were lumpy, and uncomfortable. My daughter noticed right away how small the bathroom was. 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!

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.

I stayed at the Crystal City Courtyard Marriott 2 weeks ago. I booked the room for 1 night just to attend a local party in DC and to go see the Eagles vs Redskins game. I checked in on Sat. night at 11pm, put my bags in the room and left out for the party. I returned to the room around 3am, slept from around 4am to 5:30 and was awakened to, what felt like mosquito bites. I jumped up to examine the sheets and pillows to find 2 bed bugs. I immediately contacted the front desk to notify them of the situation and to let them know that after taking some pictures and a shower, I would be right down. They informed me that the manager was not on duty until 8am but did switch my room.
I went back down there around 10am and she told me that the manager hasn't arrived but will be here by noon. I then informed them that I had tickets to the football game at 1. Went back down just before noon and she said between 12 and 1pm. Again I informed them of the game and she apologized. Went back down quarter to 1 and was told that the manager should be there any minute. At this point I knew that I wasn't going to make the game so they gave me a late checkout and I went back up to start watching the football game that was about to begin.
At halftime (2:25pm) I went back down to find out still no manager, confirmed all my information and told them that I was going to Champs (local sports bar) to finish watching the game. I was told that she will contact me as soon as she arrives and I also let them know that I would stop back by afterwards, on my way back to Philadelphia. The game ended and I drove back over there to find out the manager came but didn't stay because of an emergency. Now extremely frustrated, I let them know that this situation was lacking severity, and they were being very inconsiderate. A courtesy call would've been sufficient. Again just an apology. I went home and sent an email to Marriott Customer Care, then the next day, after work, I called the 800#. I was told that the matter would be sent to the GM and would be contacted in 3-5 days.
A week went by and no word from anyone so I sent them another email. I was contacted a few days later by email asking for the room reservation confirmation #. I sent them the name, room #, time and date. I received a reply asking for the reservation confirmation # again. I responded with all of the information and they responded apologetic and said that someone would be contacting me shortly. This is now 2 1/2 weeks later and still no call, no email, no type of any Marriott communication. I thought that a large chain as such would be more professional but instead it seems as if they want me to just forget about the whole situation. The bad thing about this is that I am a Marriott rewards member and am being forced to never stay at another one of their establishments because of the neglect. Everyone check your beds good when checking into a room.

I WAS a loyal rewards member of Marriott up until now. The operations manager David ** that I spoke with was very rude and the General Manager Alison ** seem to be impatient as I explained my situation. The impression that I'm under is that Marriott employees don't make mistakes or mix ups, as the manager told me there was No way that they could have made a mistake and that the odds of this happening was very slim.
As I went on to further investigate my account I noticed that there were more charges that they sent my account into over draft. I just need someone to listen and help me get a refund of my $189 because I do not have a comforter from Marriott. I have never had an issue like this with Marriott before and I was a satisfied customer up until now. P.S. what happened to the customer is always right???

Marriott Philly Airport Hotel - very disappointing and inadequate for handicapped guests. When I had surgery on a recent visit to Pennsylvania we broke up our trip home by staying at this facility before flying out the next morning. I had just been discharged from the hospital that day and we asked for a wheelchair to get me to our room. (We had requested an accessible room which, oddly enough, was at the FAR END of the hallway from the elevator. Who the heck is their architect?) Anyway, after searching high and low the hotel said it had NO WHEELCHAIR. So we took our time and walked; I leaned on Jim to get to our room.
Next morning we asked again for a wheelchair, which should have come as no surprise to management but again - they had no wheelchair. I told the people at Marriott.com what happened but no one ever got back to me! Aside from failing to meet the Federal ADA requirements as a public accommodation, Marriott doesn't care about the comfort or safety of its guests. Shame on them. UPDATE: I tried to post a review on the hotel's website but it says that only guests who receive and complete a guest survey can post a review. Hmmm. I never got such a survey, however.

I had to go to the desk 3 times because my key would not work. I tried to call from the phone near the elevator and it did not work. When I got to the front desk, I refused to come up without an escort. I had to stand almost 20 minutes before they could get someone. To top it off, the hotel smells like mole is in the building. Mattresses are leaned against the wall in the hallway.
I decided to check my debit card account and then I realized that they had charged my card over $100. Keep in my mind, I had paid for my entire stay with a business check when I checked in. I called the front desk to ask why I was not told that would be charging my card over $100. Ashley was very rude and nasty. I called back to ask for the 1-800 number for the complaint line. This young lady gave me the wrong number. When I called back to tell her that she gave me the wrong number, she was not apologetic and again she was rude. I am going to make sure that I tell all my business partner about my experience at the Marriott in Savannah on the Riverfront.

I recently visited Atlanta to celebrate my 34th birthday with friends and family. I utilize Marriott frequently and have never been dissatisfied with the hospitality of the hotel staff. My stay at the Courtyard Atlanta Marietta/Windy Hill location was horrible. I called and spoke with Jessica ** on Wednesday 09/28/16 as I wanted to make sure my sister would be able to check in without me due to her plane arriving in Atlanta before me. Jessica took her information and I was advised to e-mail my discount letter to Jessica directly as she would need this before being able to check my sister in at the rate provided.
On Thursday 09/29/16, I received multiple calls from my sister because they were having issues checking in even though I had called and spoke to Jessica the night prior. I made another call to make sure everything was fine and advised Jessica that my brother would be checking in the next day as I wanted to confirm that my card would not be charged for his room as well. I was advised it wouldn't be and they would request a card from him. Thursday night, a guest of mine was outside and I was on the balcony. He was attempting to throw a black n' mild to me and it fell short of my rooms balcony and landed on the balcony of the room below.
The next morning (Friday 09/30/2016), I called to the front desk again and spoke to Jessica. I advised her that we had dropped a cigar on the balcony below and we needed to retrieve it. Jessica advised me that there was no one occupying the room and that she would go get it. I never heard from Jessica again and after about 2 hours, my guest went downstairs and saw housekeeping and asked them to retrieve it. We leave for the day and we come back around 3 to allow my brother to check in. We head to Lennoz Mall and I go to purchase something and my card gets declined. I check my balance and I see that Marriott has charged my card again for 220.00.
After speaking to my brother, I learn that the rep who checked my brother in never asked to see a debit or credit card. I was majorly confused because Jessica had gave my sisters a hard time the day before stating they needed me and my card to be present before they could charge it, yet the next day, my card was charged without my permission or knowledge with no problem. When I called the front desk the rep advised me they didn't need to see any ID or the credit card because it was on file and we have mobile check in. I advised her that this is not what Jessica told me and she stated she would send my complaint to the manager and I would hear something the next day.
Saturday (10/01/2016) I called to the front desk at 9 am because we had no toilet paper in our room. 9:30 comes, still no toilet paper. I call again and advise we were still awaiting toilet paper and could not use the restroom. Around 9:45, housekeeping knocks on the door and drops off a roll of tissue. About 45 minutes later there is another knock on the door. It is Jessica (who I later find out is the manager) and the young lady from housekeeping who just dropped off the toilet paper. Jessica states that she received two calls from hotel guests stating they smelled smoke coming from my room. I instantly become agitated because no one is smoking in the room. I ask Jessica can she smell smoke and she says, "no". I invite her in to check and she declines. She then states, if someone does smoke in the room it will be 250.00 charged to your card.
I advised her again that no one was smoking in the room and I said, "Well since you're up here can you please explain why my card was charged yesterday without my knowledge or permission". Jessica had no answer and could not answer why my sister was told they needed my card and ID to check in Thursday but they had no problem charging my card an additional 220.00 with no issue. Jessica stated she would comp me some points for the inconvenience. Jessica leaves and I assume all is well.
She comes back maybe 5 minutes later and asks to speak to me outside. She states that what really happened was they received a call on Thursday from a young lady stating they had dropped something on the balcony. Jessica then states "a large man" came to the room and was trying to get in without telling the housekeeper what was going on and then finally tells her that he is trying to retrieve **. I instantly look at Jessica and tell her that is a lie.
I said, "Jessica, I am the young lady that called the front desk. I spoke with you and I told you it was a cigar. You told me you would retrieve it and you never did." Jessica claims that she sent housekeeping to retrieve it. I am now frustrated because Jessica continues to lie and instead of apologizing she keeps trying to state that her housekeeping staff is right. I am attempting to go back in my room and she asks me when I am checking out. Please note that this is not the first time she has asked me this. I say Monday and she asks me, "Well do you want to check out now because there seem to be a lot of inconsistencies." I am instantly pissed because I can not believe that after accusing me of being a "**" and the countless other errors and troubles I had from this location, she would insult me by asking if I wanted to check out.
I asked her where did she suppose I go. She responded with, "I don't know". I went back in my room and ended the conversation. As if, they hadn't shows enough ignorance, when I opened my door to leave, there was a bag of towels in a bag connected to the door. There was no 'do not disturb' sign on my door and housekeeping never made an attempt to knock on the door and advise that they were there. They only left two towels (even though I had 4 people staying in the room). They never cleaned the room in all of the days I was there. They never retrieved the dirty towels and I had to go to the front desk on Sunday and get tissue because once again the room was never taken care of. I had to retrieve a trash bag from the front desk on two occasions so I could clean the room myself.

I'd like to bring a complaint to your attention regarding the Lakeway Marriott in Metairie, La. For this price point the service is ridiculous. I've stayed multiple times and the last one was the breaking point. I've been a repeat guest for 2 reasons: the proximity to my office and honestly, the Starbucks downstairs. I've had multiple problems mostly with housekeeping and room service. Valet doesn't offer to help out a bag in a car or even pop your trunk. Housekeeping is horrid. My bed has not been made multiple times, coffee and supplies not being replaced regularly, towels and washcloths not being replaced, toiletries not being replaced, and finding my prescription medicines and toothbrush on the ground near the trash. Room service will regularly get your order incorrect, but my last straw was when I ordered coffee, cream, and Splenda and received lukewarm carafe of coffee with 1 Splenda packet and no cup.
I called down to management and was hung up on 2 times and put on hold for well over 5 min the third time before talking to him. I explained the problem and he said that he wished I wasn't checking out that morning because he'd love to "make this right" for me. Upon me asking him to comp the horrible breakfast and send me up some coffee, he said he would do just that. Over 15 min later I received a cup and some Splenda, no cream as requested and no fresh coffee. Just got my bill and see nor did he comp the breakfast. For this price, this hotel is barely worth it. I have canceled my reservation for October and will not return. Shame too, I travel to this area often with other people from my company that will not return either to this specific property.

I paid for a 2 bedroom suite where one of the knob of one of the bedroom door kept falling off with the hinge sticking out. Almost hurt my nephew. And they have a pull out sofa bed that when you lay on it your feet go up in the air and your head toward the floor. This room was a disaster. I complained about the door knob which they never did anything about and when the incident happened with my sister they took the staple then told me they misplaced it. With all of this going on there were no manager on duty and I was told I would receive a credit back to my bill...
With what happened to my sister I had to take her to the urgent care then the doctor wanted her to her an xray done which was another day I had to take off work to accompanied her all because of this incident. When I spoke to the Manager he never gave me their insurance information, the doctor at the urgent care told me to get the insurance info. This doctor said he got a small scratch on a nail sticking out of a door when he stayed at the Marriott and they wanted to call a doctor when he told them he was a doctor so they gave him their insurance information, credit for one night and voucher for 2 free night stay at any of their hotels.
So I called their corporate office number to get the insurance information which we spoke with a Carol and my sister gave her all the information. They decided to give my sister around 300 bucks for what happened and gave me 150 for what was going on with the room which I also inform them of having to take off the day to take me sister to have xray done etc. (They lied to the Better Business Bureau that my sister never got xray done which we have proof of all that was done.) I reached out to the corporate office and spoke with a Diane who stated she was a problem solver in the office of Mr Marriott and she will take over the case. Well in the end they told me they gave me a credit of 150 and they will not be doing anything else for me so my vacation ended up costing me much more all because of this hotel.
I am a problem solver for my company and train new hires so I will be using this story as an example of what not to do when dealing with customers because without your customers you would not have a business. I was not looking for all that they gave the doctor but to at least pay for the time I took off to take my sister to the urgent care and the get the xray which was more than 150 but I guess I am not a doctor. I am reading all these negative ratings on ConsumerAffairs and most of them are on how they treat their guests so next time I would know to do my research before I make reservation with any hotel.

Hi - I am a Marriott rewards member. I booked a family vacation using their website to find an airport hotel. ** This website says "Redeem 4 Nights. Get the 5th Night FREE!" without any asterisk or instructions to see further details etc. I Redeemed 4 nights but the web would not allow to book the 5th. I tried unsuccessfully to resolve. I sent an email and then call then had a live chat. Even though their website only says Redeem 4 Nights. Get the 5th Night FREE! They are claiming that it is only for consecutive nights. I planned to stay at the airport hotel at the beginning and end of my visit to Seattle so consecutive nights do not work for me AND it is not what they say on their own website.
Member customer service, Jackie, could not help so I asked to speak to her manager Andrew, who was rude and raised his voice unprofessionally. The live chat person would not help either and would not allow me to speak to a manager. My Marriott Rewards #: ** and Reservation for the 4 nights is Reservation Confirmation: **. This is not a good way to treat Rewards members. I had almost 100,000 reward points before this trip.

Whenever I travel I always look for the Marriott Hotel. I love the ambiance and comfort of the suites... Today I checked out of the Residence Inn in Miami Airport North to travel and check into the Marriott Courtyard in Providence Rhode Island. When checking out this morning at 5:45 I found out that I had been charged for parking a vehicle. A question to which I responded, "No, I do not own a vehicle." We all know that to get this rectified could take a number of frustrating calls.
This evening I was checking into the Courtyard Marriot in Providence. The young lady was cold, bias and unwelcoming. After speaking to her in English she asked if we (myself, nice and sister) were Spanish. She also deliberately offered wrong advice fully knowing that if we were to cancel and rebook my reservation I would have lost my room due to a fully booked week or had to pay much higher current rates. Luckily my sister pointed it out and she concurred. Finally without any question she disdainfully handed me three keys. I handed back two informing her that I was staying alone. There was no welcome, smile or anything. I will continue to look for Marriott hotels wherever I go but hope that these concerns could be looked into and rectified.
