This has got to be some of the worst food that I've ever had on vacation ever. I had a coupon for the buffet and when I went to the buffet in the morning the food just looked absolutely disgusting. The eggs were just completely dry, hard and dark yellow like they've been sitting there forever and the pan was split with some other kind of eggs on the other side but it just looked like mush mixed with vegetables and it looked inedible. I was with a large group that we're all going to order from the kitchen and I knew that was just going to be a fiasco but they mentioned that they were going to have a lunch buffet put out. So I wanted to check that out, fast, easy, no waiting so I though what a great idea. I proceeded to sit down and ask my Waitress about the lunch buffet and she told me it was around $15. So then I asked what kind of items were on the buffet for lunch and she mentioned that it was a Soup/Salad spread and I looked at her and said you're charging $15 for soup and salad!? I went and took a look and there were 3 of the most disgusting soups I could think of eating and they didn't have meat in them and they were gluten-free and just look like absolute crap and there was one soup, chicken tortilla soup that looks really good but was empty all the time because it was the only one people were eating because the other ones looked straight out of the can. My wife and I had just come from Cripplecreek the night before and the menu looked like something straight out of one of the casinos that we were at. I mean Panini press sandwiches and these overpriced salads that claim to have all these fresh ingredients on them, I know pre-cooked and FROZEN FOOD like the back of my hand and Frozen SEAFOOD Loses all its juices once you freeze the loses all its juices once you freeze it. The Prime Rib tasted old and it also tasted like whatever was in the refrigerator with it because I have worked in restaurants before and if you leave stuff in a cooler uncovered it will take on the smells of everything else in the cooler so it had a little hint of seafood and moldy cheese and just the worst disgusting taste you could think of. Whoever made the menu for the kitchen and whoever runs this kitchen has no dignity and takes absolutely no pride in the food that leaves the kitchen. There is nothing fresh about any of this food. The Panini's were cold in the middle and it looked like they were pre-prepped and stuck in the fridge for a couple weeks and everything on my salad came out of a can me and the only thing that looked fresh on my salad was the oregano. Not to mention the African American lady that runs the that omelette station thing in the corner of the dinning area had a freaking terrible attitude and honestly made me feel so uncomfortable just standing there like I did something wrong when I ordered an Omelette and a Waffle. It's like "Don't work here if you don't want to do your job." "This is an Omelette station right that makes waffles as well? Well then when I order one of each don't give me an attitude about it and snicker and say stuff under your breath." The whole experience here was just a shit show from the beginning. I've never been so disappointed in a hotel's restaurant since I've been traveling the 60 years of my life. It looks like they're doing a lot of renovation on this hotel because it's extremely dated and it's very apparent that it's dated because everything in my room seemed to not work properly. I think after they're done with the building they need to bring in corporate people and just do a clean sweep of the whole restaurant and kitchen side of it and start over. It's obvious that that side of the hotel is struggling and after reading some of the other reviews I can see that I'm not alone. They are lucky that there isn't a no star-option because I didn't want to give them any stars but had to and I'm not happy about that either. Oh yeah, I am never staying at this Marriott and I am going to try and avoid all future Marriotts just because of the experience I had here. Unacceptable and got to be the worst stay I've ever had anywhere ever my whole life and I'm not exaggerating. (((((((((CORPORATE MARRIOTT)))))) you are really need to take a look at this hotel from top to bottom Because I'm sure I'm not the first to complain about these things and there is just too much competition out there and you guys are going to become ill relevant if this keeps up and you know it. read more
