We are from Palm Beach, which is considered local. We come to Miami often...once every couple weeks or so. Not ever again...not at the Turnberry...
We arrived early...about 45 min after we were told our room would be ready...no biggie. (Front desk staff was VERY RUDE!) We found a restroom, put on our swim suites, and went straight to the pool bar for lunch. Food and drinks we fantastic! Adult pool was very relaxing.
Finally made it to our room a couple hours later. Walked in to an attendent trying to figure out a discrepency with the mini bar. As soon as he left it was pretty obvious...there was a half drank bottle of water left....2nd red flag.
Next we noticed the incredibly filthy room. Dust everywhere! 3rd red flag... (I took pics) Dirty shower, so on, and so on.
We got ready to head to the Madrid vs Barcelona futbol game. We decided to take an Uber so we could have a little fun. The "drop off" area is poorly planned. It took a a bit too long for cars to filter through. Still...no biggie.
After the game, at absolutely NO fault of the hotel...getting out of the stadium took HOURS! After about an hour and a half in, my husband called the hotel to see if they could call a car service for us. He told them out apps wouldnt work and internet wouldnt connect. The woman took his number and told him she would call him back. After realizing we werent getting a return call, I decided to call. The woman remembered my husbands call, and proceeded to tell me that it was not the hotels responsibility to get me back there. NO JOKE! I was treated better in the Middle East!
After another hour+, we made it back to the hotel. We saw the manager on duty and told him the entire story. While speaking the him, the woman who we spoke to us on the phone came out and tried to argue with me! The manager didnt even acknowledge her! No telling her to stop...NOTHING! The only thing he said to me was that all calls were recorded and he would hear the whole thing...when he had the time to listen to it! UNBELIEVABLE!
While it is NOT the hotels responsibility to get us back, I have never in my 40+ years of travel, encountered a hotel so unwilling to help. Not only unwilling, but simply RUDE about it. Not only should the night clerck be fired, but the night manager needs to be demoted at the very least. This was beyond a horrible experience!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...choose another hotel! This place just isnt worth the time and trouble! I dont want anyone to be treated the way we were! Please choose elsewhere!!! read more
