Not a good experience. Long story short, make sure you double check your price when you check in. They took off one of our discounts on the room without telling us. When I contacted the manager, she said they did tell us. I double checked with my entire family and no one heard this. It was at the end of a long and very carefully budgeted vacation. We would not have just said "Oh, ok great" upon learning the price doubled. Also, if they had told us, we had other options like putting it in my name or staying next door. None of these options were discussed with us upon check in. If they had told us, we definitely would have asked about any other options before agreeing to take the room. I asked her to double check with her staff bc I don't think they are being truthful, but she stuck by the lie.
That's what pushed me to write a bad review instead of letting it go, bc after all this I just got a sense that the staff here is very shady. They blatantly lied about telling us about the price range, and then the manager refused to do anything about it. She states that it is up to guests to understand Marriott policy, which might be the case with discounts and that is what it is, but I feel like any time your bill doubles, you should be told before you check out and automatically pay for it.
Aside from all the bill trouble, I was a little concerned that so many of the problems repeated throughout the bad reviews listed here were still a problem when we stayed. Our room was given away and we were given the wrong key, tried to open someone else's door for several minutes. (This would have really freaked me out if I were that guest) The elevator was broken, pool closed etc. I thought the staff could have been friendlier when we stayed there but after communicating with the manager for a week, now I have no doubt. The breakfast was fairly good, so at least they have that going for them.
I would like to add that we have not had any problems like this at any other Marriott location. Also while the manager here was borderline rude and frustrating to work with, customer service shared my concern about the shadiness of our experience and this location and worked diligently with me to get it corrected. I will continue to stay at Marriott hotels, but not this location.
ETA: it has now been a month since customer service said we would be refunded. They OK'ed the refund, but it still has to go through the hotel manager. I have now called 4 times. One time I left a message, no reply. The other three times customer service called her to tell her to refund it. She told them she would. But still nothing...sooooo frustrating. read more
