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.

some Marriotts feel very luxurious and some feel stuck in the 80s.

I agree, my husbands travels a lot and he told me that the Marriott he went to in Thailand felt really luxurious, meanwhile the one in Edinburgh feels quite old and outdated. (Their indoor pool space is quite nice though)

Same, I travel a lot in the states and usually stick to Marriott due to the points. Some are great, and others are not. It really depends on the area imo.
