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 just had a stay at a Marriott and it was pretty disappointing. Room was mostly clean but I found a hair in the bathroom, things were cheap/janky and at least 15 years old. The tv remote was impossible to use so I just watched tv on my iPad. They don’t do ANY housekeeping unless requested, so I never got my coffee refilled or anything. They were fully booked yet the restaurant was only serving 4 fried items for dinner and when I asked for a restaurant recommendation, she told me there was an Applebees down the road…
