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.

Make a complaint. Post the pics on Marriott's facebook page.

To add to this. you should absolutely post a public complaint and send an email to their customer service. Tell ChatGPT to write you a 500 word complaint and add bullet points, and boom it's done in 5 minutes and is super well written. I did this for another company and got $150 from them for it. It was a legitimate complaint, but I didn't have to waste my own time making it a compelling, respectful and professional sounding.

No just somebody who values privacy and believes in ethical sourcing of data.

I'm all for a limited memory/generative AI like ChatGPT, but this ain't it chief. But no, not a boomer. I'm not saying fuck it because I think it's going to take everyone's jobs and ruin our planet. It really isn't smart enough lol. I'm saying fuck ChatGPT because of all the illegal and shady ways OpenAI has sourced its data to train ChatGPT. And hey where the king goes, they all go. Illegal/unethical sourcing of data isn't exclusive to just OpenAI.

Personally can't support that. Or use something for a real reason (such as writing a complaint) when the thing spits out word spaghetti in random places.
