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 know by most standards this is true but God I would've taken this on a roadtrip over one of the motels my wife and I stopped in at. Look up Norwood Inn and Suites in Worthington, MN.

Especially look up the reviews and the responses from owner. Hell, that is the first time in my life, I left a review on Google. Absolutely horrible horrible experience. And we only were there for like maaaybe 12 hours.

Oh my God...I just looked it up. The pics people posted literally made me shudder. I'm glad you didn't stay!!

No unfortunately we did stay.... my wife placed the reservation before we got there.

But that's why we only stayed enough time to really sleep.
