“Drove overnight to this hotel in which I had a reservation. Upon walking in at 2am was met with grumpy faces and a clerk with a attitude. Very unfriendly. Take the elevator to my floor the hall stinks like cigarettes smoke. Enter my room and hit with a overpowering smell of mildew. At 2am my friend and I are dead tired and we concluded that going down to complain about the smell wouldn’t yield much resolve so we decide to just leave at daybreak. I went to sit on my bed and by behind felt wet, I get up and check the bed and I feel the sheets on the bed are very damp, my friend found hers the same way. Not only were the sheets wet so was the blankets on both beds. This time we go to the front desk and I told her the bedding was wet, she rudely repeats “wet”! I explained that perhaps they were not done drying before housekeeping applied them to the bed. She looks frustrated, picks up the phone and told someone to bring new sheets. We go back to the room and someone came and threw two thin sheets on the foot of the bed and expected us to remake the bed, never replacing the comforters. I call and ask why do I a guest who has paid a lot to stay there have to change my sheets ? She said there is nothing she can do and if I’m unhappy to call the manger the next day (which was a Sunday). I call American Express (3rd party booking) and after hearing the situation they called to the front desk and when they ask the front desk what is their policy in situations like this the, the girl said “she doesn’t know”. American Express tried for over an hour with me on hold to get us a new room or a refund , was told no and there is nothing they can do. We were stuck there to sleep in wet beds. Asked for an iron upon waking was told they don’t have any but all rooms have a clothes steamer, I informed her my room did not, she then said she’d send me a steamer, someone brought a dirty broken iron to the room. I was able to obtain the managers info but it’s pointless. I have called and emailed Ms. Lopez to no avail. They refuse to make this right. The place is a smelly dump with below standard, unprofessional service. Was told the room had a view, it didn’t. The place looks nothing like the pictures online and I would have preferred to stay at a low budget motel than to be treated how we were. I will continue to escalate this issue until it is resolved.”

“Check in took over 30 minutes as did parking the car. By the time we reached front of line for check in it was clear that the hotel did not have rooms ready for any of the people checking in (there was one front desk clerk at 4pm on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend). They told us they “might” have a room ready in a few hours but that they would WRITE down our names on a slip of paper with all of the other people checking in (mind you we had completed online mobile check in the evening before). We did not hear one word from the hotel all night and when we returned after a concert at 12:15am we then had to wait in line for 45 minutes to get a room much smaller than the room that we paid for. Both my husband and I have reached out repeatedly to the hotel manager and have heard nothing in return. We were charged over $600 per room for a different room than reserved and a room in which we spent 8 hours before we needed to check out. And I’m not even certain that the room we stayed in had changed the sheets on the bed. This was the worst customer service experience ever and we travel a lot. My husband travels extensively for work and always stays in Marriott properties - this was the worst experience of all. Does not even deserve one star. The only decent human we encountered was the kind bellman who showed us a quiet public restroom on the 2nd floor where we could change clothes and freshen up after our 4 hour drive. I understand staffing is difficult at the moment but don’t book rooms that you can’t guarantee to your guests. And if you have a colossal screw up like this, then only charge 50% of the room rate since we were only able to spend 50% of promised time in room.”
