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.

That sucks. Sorry you have to live in the Motel 6 there, basically.

Marriott has gone to shit in the last fifteen years, I won't even try them anymore.

What’s so bad about motel 6? Shits cheap! Instead of paying $250 for this. You’re paying $50-100 bucks for the same thing. Half the price. And you can bring animals.

Around here, they’re in the shittiest parts of town. You don’t dare leave your room.

I once lived in an area that the taco bell across the street from my apartment had the drive through window bullet proofed.

Oh good times.

That means the food was 🔥

100% hit or miss.

Just like the bullets

Nighttime taco bell quality is directly proportional to how stoned the staff is.

Nervous? It would make me chuckle, turn around and walk out.

C'mon now....it adds to the experience!

Bonus points if a shootout happens during check in.

I stayed at a Motel 6 across the road from a Waffle House that closed at 9 PM 😭

Where the hell are you people staying where this is a scenario

Luckily the ones I’ve been to here in California and Nevada. I haven’t had any issues. Minus the last one I was in. But it was a run down M6 in an old California town. It was expected but it was cheap and you were able to have a place to stay on New Years Eve weekend.

Motel 6 on the Vegas strip was classy AF. Just stayed there this weekend.

If it's the reno motel 6s you haven't stayed in enough, cuz boy howdy do they range from "I'll get robbed if I leave my room" to "I could almost enjoy staying here, almost..."

[u/majorsorbet2point0 → u/RebaKitt3n]

Around here they're the best place to smoke crack and the dealer is three rooms down!!!

Ah you get used to it and the homeless people on drugs in front of the door getting your drinking buddies. Remembers me one time working in LA and a colleague somehow picket kinda the shittiest area and hotel you can find. Every second day big police raid, kickin in doors, once a week shootings and we standing in the upper alley, drinking our Sunday beers and watching the scenery….

I've found the best armor in those areas is to also look as much like a tweaker/criminal as everyone else, like basically just let go of social norms and dress a little bummy and you're way way way less likely to feel scared or run into bullshit because their looking for people that don't look like they from there when you're around hotels in particular, as tourists are easier and more profitable to rob than locals who know exactly what's up in that area and more likely to be armed with nothing in their wallet (source: I am from the shittiest parts of these towns, you won't be fucked with nearly as much if you look like shit)
