Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We booked the Courtyard Marriott in Norwich, CT expecting a reliable, quality experience, but what we encountered was anything but. The room was dirty upon arrival — my wife had to pick peanuts off the floor, there was trash in the corner, and a stain on the ottoman.
The hotel had no power when we arrived, and the staff repeatedly lied, saying it had “just gone out,” when it had clearly been out for hours. There were no updates or apologies. I have a medical condition that requires a C-PAP machine, and I couldn’t use it due to the outage, making the stay not just uncomfortable, but a health risk.
The front desk staff was rude and dismissive throughout. In the morning, I asked about coffee and was told “we offer breakfast, but it’s not free” — not what I asked. When trying to buy bottled water, the staff questioned me suspiciously and demanded cash, forgetting we hadn’t even been checked in properly due to the outage.
There was no hot coffee, no juice, and zero effort to accommodate guests. On our second night, we had to call the front desk three times to complain about loud guests at midnight. The same staff member shrugged it off. I had to walk him to the room myself.
The toilet in our room clogged from normal use (not misuse), and instead of helping, the front desk told us to go find a plunger they left outside another guest’s room on another floor. We had to fix it ourselves. I’ve attached a photo.
For the price we paid, this stay was completely unacceptable. Marriott
