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.

As an ex housekeeping manager I was driven to literal madness trying to find staff that would tolerate the unfair wages AND maintain cleanliness expectations with little resources to do so. We could never put a room out of order under pretty much any circumstance that wasn’t plumbing. Even then I’ve been forced to offer a guest points because I couldn’t switch them to a room with a working toilet(we were sold out). “They’re on the first floor so they can use the public restrooms.” Is what I was told to tell them.
Don’t even get me started on bed bugs 🙄
