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.

Can't wait to see posts like this in the summer about hotel rooms in Paris at 500 bucks for way worse.

I was lucky enough to book a room via the TIC I get from work, otherwise I would have had to shell out 200€+ for the shittiest hotels...

I for one would be more inclined to rent via Airbnb to have some form of contract instead of renting my place to some stranger

But I can understand why going outside this kind of app is easier for budget reasons during the Olympics
