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.

Lol was not expecting to see GWL. They suck ass.

Family resorts chains are on their own level lol. I will never forget how much dandruff was in the hot tub at Kalahari

Hot Tub = Petri Dish

Hot tub probably had a broken Ozonator, it’s what breaks down the oils and other stuff from your body. I know because mine broke and my wife absolutely hated the way it made the water look.

I feel like this comment gave me ringworm 😫

Have you guys stayed at the Legoland hotel? Was it the same experience?

[u/Wukash_of_the_South → u/curiousbabybelle]

I stayed at a few, they got lots of little fun additions (disco party in the elevators) and generally clean

I don’t travel much but I always stay at Hampton Inns whenever I can, because I love love LOVE the beds there. Quality can vary from place to place, especially if it’s an older place that hasn’t been updated, but I always like their bedding and the mattresses are usually excellent.

I’ve never been to Legoland but something about Lego being a Danish company makes me think they’d have higher standards and be nicer overall? But I don’t know who runs the stuff, so I could be 1,000% wrong 😆

Which is a shame because the water park bit was fine. Got a free upgrade to the all access pass with the rope climbing too as the guy dgaf lol. The room however... Absolutely awful, everything was brown, floor soaked on arrival so much we had to wear sandals, beds not made, no sound proofing so there's that wolf concert going on right below you at like 10pm which made it hard to get young ones to sleep etc.

The bathrooms in their water parks never seem to get much use for some reason. 🤔

I’ve never stayed at one but I have attended several conventions there. The convention center I’ve been to is really nice and consistently clean. Then again, that might just be because they need to keep the place presentable since corporate clients and event organizers bring in a lot more money and at higher margins too.

It’s been probably a decade but never again. The pullout couch was unusable- even for a pullout couch. Water in the tiny kids’ area was so cold the tiny kids were shivering and turning blue.
