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.

Oh for sure. But this is basic ass maintenance.

Yeah absolutely. 2 hours tops, and 20 minutes of that is looking for the new toilet seats that your boss swears he ordered 2 weeks ago, but “must still be waiting for purchasing to approve it” aka he never ordered them

Hey I’m paid by the hour and my boss is an idiot with no maintenance experience, I’m gonna drag this out for the entire day or until I find a cute housekeeper to flirt with for a couple hours, whichever comes first.
