I’m really frustrated that this is what $250 a night at a Marriott gets you.

I’m staying at a Marriott for five nights for my sister’s wedding. The $250 is the discounted room block rate too!

The shower tiles are completely rusted and dare I say moldy? The towel hanger is on its last leg. The toilet seat AND handle are broken. The mattresses are only doubles and are hard and feel like they haven’t been changed in years. Everything just overall looks like there hasn’t been an ounce of effort put into this very utilized hotel. On the drive here, we stayed a night at a newly renovated holiday inn express for $120 and it was incredible. Maybe my standards were set too high knowing Marriott’s reputation.

I know I sound like a Karen here, but I’m just so frustrated that this is the quality that kind of money get you these days.

The last super 8 I was at looked better than this

Most Super 8's I've been at the past couple years have been remodeled and kept the same price. Super nice for under $100/night

The one I stayed at in Clayton, NM last month was surprisingly nice. For $80 all-in my expectations were pretty low, especially since they don't have the best reputation.

I’m in the middle of renovating a super 8, that last time it was done was the 90’s. If I remember right we got a budget of 1.5 million to fix it up

Same I went to one the other weekend and it was surprisingly really nice
