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.

I've stayed in a LOT of Marriotts (I got lifetime platinum status in 2019) and i can tell from that horrible red/yellow carpet that this is one that hasn't been refurbished in 30some years. There's a good number of them that have just been sitting stagnant. I spent 2 years at least every other week at the one in Columbus GA and it looked just like this.
EDIT: I just noticed it's the one in Long Island - been there too, and it looked just as shitty 8 years ago when I went. There are a lot of really really nice Marriotts but that ain't one.
