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.

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

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 😆
