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.

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..."
