The water was turned off for practically our whole stay and when finally was turned back on - it was ice cold and wouldn’t get warm. There was leaks in hallway that was so soaked my heels were wet and squishy walking thru water. It smelled like mildew/mold. Couldn’t flush our toilet. Couldn’t tell if employees in lobby were employee or guests… nothing was stocked in lobby for purchase. Bananas rotted, had cereal but no milk. Only 2-3 cold bottle of water. Buckets/ladders all over for leaks. Basics of hotel were not accommodated. Want a refund. Awful experience. No warning given to us hotel was damaged with leaks and water would be off.

Disliked: Staff & service

Didn't feel like a priority by multiple associates. When I showed up, I didn't get acknowledged for many minutes. The person at the desk was trying to assist a guest with Wifi, but was unsuccessful. Even when the guest told her she could wait on me, she declined and never acknowledged me standing there. She eventually got another associate that was clearly not on the clock to assist the original guest, but still remained with them for many minutes finally engaged and assisted me. Didn't explain overflow parking until I drove around for 15 minutes trying to figure it out. Very few parking spaces in the garage. I finally had to park, come it and it was the same person who provided poor service. The next morning. Not lids or stirs for coffee. The area was in disarray. I found everything in the cupboard on my own while the lady at the counter just watch me and never said a word. Rooms a little dated with some weird white stain on the shower floor. Place was ok, but not for the money. Very disappointing for a Marriott. I usually use Hilton and I can see why.

There was no shampoo,body wash, or Kleenex in our room. When I brought it to the front desk attendant attention she didn’t offer so much as an apology. She just looked down at the computer. I went outside when I realized she wasn’t going to offer and explanation and my friend was walking by the desk and heard her talking about how she didn’t want to hear guest complaining about issues out of her control. Customer service and accountability have gone way downhill. I spent a lot of money to stay there. Even cheap motels have shampoo and Kleenex. Had she apologized and taken responsibility rather than huffing and puffing it would’ve gone a long way.
