Marriott

Requesting a refund and change of policy. I reserved a first-floor handicapped room for my wife, and had it substituted to a 3rd floor room which was not what I reserved or was not really for a handicap person. I suspect that handicap rooms in Marriott facilities may violate the intent of the ADA to make such facilities workable for the disabled and I want to pursue this as a separate issue from my refund request.

The bed is so high my wife had to use a luggage rack to get up into it and it was painful. She needs a walk-in type shower and I have photos I can't upload as room 328 is a short tub and is not acceptable.

I recently stayed at a resort in Cancun, Mexico. Spent over 200000 points and over 1200 dollars. From check in to check out and up to now. Ive been treated with the least amount of respect possible. Instead of marriott stepping and doing something they basically left it to the hotel and mediated everything.

No resolution and on top of that im a titanium member

My stay at the Marriott Property located @ 5614 Major Blvd Orlando, FL. was unlike any other Marriott properties. It went from bad to worse I have submitted complaints to no avail. The side entrance door stayed un useable for at least a month unacceptable and inconvenience for the guest.

Homeless people were roaming freely eating and taking the breakfast food, that was for the paying guest. If they were able to roam freely what would keep them from getting on the elevator and roaming the floors. They were sleeping on the outdoor furniture.

I know that your property is partnered with Universal Studios and I'm sure that they are not aware of what their guest are experiencing. There are drugs being sold and used on the side of the building. You have men coming up to you asking for money to…

Place: Residence Inn Anchorage Midtown. We checked in last night, 8/11/2023. The receptionist at front desk, Dawson, after giving her our confirmation number, told us we have a “shared room “! We were obviously stunned. We said “no”, we have a confirmed one bedroom suite and we do not have a shared room with stranger.

Then her response was “we don’t have any room available and I Don’t Know What To Do “!! She then proceeded to call her manager but unsuccessful. She then gave the two managers calling cards and told us to CALL THEM OURSELF! Wow! Unbelievable!

After that she then hand us a room key, and when we ask what type of room that is, she told us it’s a STUDIO! We then told her we booked for 1 bedroom suite and it’s not right to downgrade us to a studio.

Finally, she gave us a two…

This complaint is for Mariotte Hotel O'Hare.... We switched from the Mariotte Suites to the hotel because the suites did not have a pool as advertised and the other one did. The overnight costs were the same, but there were marked differences in the quality.

The hotel presented a variety of problems that make it difficult and dangerous for anyone with even a slight disability.

For example: The showers, recently remodeled, cannot be turned on without actually entering the shower and standing under the shower head BEFORE being able to turn it on. It is impossible to do so without getting wet, risking scalding and slipping.

There is no fan in the bathroom, so it stays slipper and damp. Accessing the parking lot is outdated and and ridiculous-- the little paper card does not line up with…

I reserved in advance and stayed July 28, 2023 at Fairfield Inn, Warsaw, Indiana. I ran a wedding rehearsal at a nearby lake resort that evening and checked out the next day traveling back to resort to officiate the wedding. I was unable to connect to the WiFi which was something I relied on in making choice for the reservation. I needed to do some editing on the wedding script.

I called the front desk for help. Please be aware I noticed at check in that the front desk person was taking incoming calls for reservation with apparently no one to route the calls to so she could manage the line of us trying to check in. Back to WiFi issue - she said her two managers were not onsite and didn’t know what to do. I asked her to check and call me which she did. However, she said she didn’t know how…

C. this weekend(July 28-30) for a convention and when I went to check in, they had someone else's credit card on file telling me that my card declined. I booked two rooms at the Residence Inn, one for my sister, and mom, and the other for my immediate family.

I was keeping in contact with the hotel about my arrival time and my sister's arrival time since they were my guests. I booked the rooms with my credit card, and the money came out of my account, and they practically called me a liar, trying to belittle me after I showed them proof on my bank app.

They told me I would have to pay if I wanted to stay. I already spoke with a young lady earlier that day telling me my room would be ready between 3-330. We traveled one hour and had a 3 month old baby with us and that's why we decided to…

My family and I were at the Courtyard in Historic Wilmington on July 22, 2023. We were using points to enjoy our long relationship with Bonvoy. The experience was lack luster from the very beginning. We could not check in online early nor could we check in early in person. We tried. When we did arrive at 4:00 pm, there were no less than twenty people checking in with one representative doing it all. The lobby AC was not working making the experience more frustrating. The valet parking only shielded three vehicles from the torrential downpour so we parked across the street at the meters. If anyone else complains about this night and that place, it is VALID.

Disappointed Bonvoy member

My complaint is not as a guest . 37040. aformention hire had lost previous employ hired now whole family employed because I accepted position hard to fill her son needed a job. com

Using the app to make reservations for Executive Apartments in Sao Paulo Brazil. i discovered 2 reservations under my name for the same dates. I applied for the cresit card and wasn’t until i received statement and seen they charged me in advance for 2 rooms.

I call the hitel 2 times and i emailed the supervisor who was notified of my calling to have this error fixed. I offered to just modify the dates and i will plan a trip to stay at a later date, however, i never received any response from the supervisor.

And each time i call the desk clerks continue to say only the supervisor. Needless to say I haven’t stayed in this place yet and already having unprofessional treatment. It’s clear to everyone that mistakes happens when dealing with computers and apps whatever real professional…

I reserved a hotel room from Marriott I changed the reservation several times months before the actual reservation. Then I canceled the reservation April 4. The he final reservation was from May 28 to June 1. I received a cancellation confirmation with a cancellation number. 87. No problem right. WRONG.

Even though I have their cancellation confirmation I am still receiving emails from Marriott not to mention I have been on the phone with them for hours Ridiculous

I booked a 3 night stay at the Residence Inn in Saint Louis,MO. Upon arrival I was very disappointed to find out that the pool was closed for renovation. This was the main reason I booked here because my children love going to the pool.

Only thing I could complain about my stay was that I could not ever reach the front desk by calling from my room? When I needed clean towels,I had to go all the way to the front because no one would answer?

The main reason I am contacting you, is that I had brought with me my entire collection of baseball cards, for a card show that I was attending. My boyfriend had put some of my cards in a box on the top shelf in the closet.

When I was packing I was in a hurry and I forgot the box on the shelf. I called back to find out if they had cleaned my room…

Called Marriott to find out the rates for the hotel that i want to book. The guy on the phone was super grumpy and kept cutting me off. when I asked him about the 2 different rates for 2 different rooms he got frustrated and just put me on hold.

If you’re not going to help people just don’t have a job in customer service.

I booked staying at your Courtyard Marriott North/Triangle Town in Raleigh NC. through the Marriott app on my phone. I got a confirmation that I got the room. " She didn't even help m with finding another hotel. Which according to Marriott she was supposed to do since I am a Platinum member.

But on top of all that I got up this morning to find I was CHARGED for the room!! I have never been so mistreated by your hotel. And I will NEVER stay at that location again. And I will make sure no one in my company stays there either.

I have never had one single problem with Marriott over the years but this experience with this person was awful. I hope the manager takes time to train her properly because she has no idea what she is doing. Thanks John Montecalvo Member #723569055

Springhill Suites by Marriott in Dayton . OH. I tried contacting the SpringHill Suites to confirm my reservation. The person I spoke to identified herself as Jacklyn. When I asked her for the spelling of her name she would not tell me.

I explained I wanted the spelling so that I could pronounce her name correctly. Her attitude made me angry. I told her never mind and said good bye and hungup without my information. If this is an issue. Why could she not just make up a name.

She created a hostile experience. I called half an hour later and I am pretty sure the same person "Jacklyn" answered the phone. I told her my name and asked her for her name. I think it is personable to speak to employees of a business by name.

I don't even care if she made up a name, but she was impersonal,…

Were stayed at The Hideaway at the Royalton Cancun Riverie on April 1-8. We had booked the ocean front presidential suit so we could use the roof top patio. On our second day at the resort I was on the rooftop patio when it began to rain paint chips. The paint chips littered the rood top patio, the whirlpool, as well as the wrap around p[atio that was accessible from our bedroom and the living room.

We called to complain as the paint chips clogged up the whirlpool and by the next day the whirlpool was a green algae laden cesspool. They came. Cleaned it up and told us that we would get some papers to sign the following day. They said they would reimburse us for the extra we paid to be diamond level. No one came. We talked to our day and night time butlers, to no avail. Then once they…

I am a Marriott Bonvoy member. I made a reservation at the Marriot Lodge in Lake Tahoe. It was a prepay non refundable reservation for a Marriot Bonvoy member. Subsequent to making the reservation, Lake Tahoe experienced major storms, leaving 15 ft of snow.

I called customer service as I could not get through to the property and cancelled my reservation and explained I do not feel safe going. I was given a case number. I made a new reservation at a different Marriott location near San Francisco.

I was told to wait for a response from the property. I waited 2 weeks and did not receive any notification. I called customer service and I was told that there were several cancellations and I had to wait until it was closer to my arrival date, which is two weeks away.

I still received no…

Letter to Marriott Regarding Hotel Stay 3/20/2023

My name is Kenneth Friesz, Marriott #127089094, Platinum Elite Member.

My wife and I stayed at the Marriott Courtyard St Petersburg Downtown from March 20 thru March 23. At the time of booking, the website indicated a going rate of $300 plus.

I made the reservation through the Marriott telephone number on the Marriott card. I requested that we use points for two nights and pay cash for one night. I didn’t think that would be an issue until we checked our Marriott credit card statement. There we learned that we were charged $618.62 for one night. I had absolutely no idea the fee would be that high for one night. Additionally, we are now told that it was only the middle night of our stay (a Tuesday) for which the exorbitant rate was in…

I made a reservation by mistake. I contacted the hotel and spoke with the General Manager Cory. Cory indicated that he would contact me by email to workout and resolve the error to allow me to cancel the reservation as I was unable to cancel the reservation online.

I have not received the email from Cory and the reservation has not been cancelled at this time.

I wish to file a complaint against your Fairfield Inn and Suites at San Francisco Airport. I have been a Marriott member for many years and carry your credit card. My wife who is 71 years old and traveling alone arrived at SFO today at around 2-3 pm.

Contacted the hotel for shuttle service. She was told the service would not begin until 5 pm. She waited until 5 pm and contacted the hotel. The weather was rainy and 20mpr winds. Hotel instructed her to go outside to a bus stop with hardly any protection and wait for the shuttle to pick her up. She did so.

When the shuttle did not show up at the time specified by the hotel, she called again. Was told they could not pick her up until 7 pm due to heavy traffic. Traffic and bad weather I understand, what I don't understand is the abandonment…

Terrible service in our lodging on March 18, 2023 at towneplace suites by Marriott-west valley city utah the light in the bathtub did not work and the drain was also clogged, also the two electricity plugs, we notified the counter, they said they were going to fix the light and they never did, but the worst thing is that I called the manager with name jim pratt to let Know my annoyance but he answered me very rude and with a bad attitude and

told me that you wanted me to act as if he didn't care what lack of professionalism they have with their staff and customer service so absolutely we don't recommend this place especial for this disrespespectful manager

We stayed at your Romulus Detroit airport last week to get an early morning flight to San Diego . Renata was at your counter. She put us between the rooms she rented with a pile of party people gone wild and then had the nerve to tell us to move to a different room.

We had two children and grandmother trying to sleep. Unbelievable for a Marriott hotel.

We have vacation club points that will be expiring on 7/2/23. My husband is currently being treated for cancer and Marriott will not extend the points for 5 days so we can use them for a vacation tour. This is the most pitiful company I have ever dealt with.

These are our points that unfortunately could not be used due to illness. We will be doing our best to make sure everyone knows how heartless Marriott truly is. We pay them thousands of dollars a year in maintenence fees and we are basically told tough luck, get some golf certificates.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from Marriott. So disappointed in the whole scam.

Called Courtyard New York queens directly to book under group room block rate. I hear her fine but she said I’m coming in and out. That’s fine, so I had to repeat things twice. She was getting impatient. When I repeat my credit card info.

She tells me “I key it in correctly. ” I told her that’s not possible cuz my card was just used this past weekend at another Marriott plus there’s 10grand limit so I don’t think limit is the issue. She said “well, I can’t force it.

” Before I can even ask how to book the group rate online, she just said “yeah, book it online” and hung up on me ! This is the worst customer service. Plus she’s sure “I have No money” in my card and not that she input something wrong ?

Cuz I called capital one and it’s not my card that has issue. They don’t even see any…

As a lifetime platinum member I called their reservation line..wanted to make a reservation for my wife who is out of town…Made Tue reservation at Fairfield Inn Marietta Oh. Told me they would add her name, they would ask for ID, her credit card, but bill it to my card on file..FINE..even called the location and they said fine..tonight another person said that can’t happen..This is just a nightmare…maybe you need to figure things out and train your staff better ..BYRON Guisbert

I checked into the Delta hotel in Oklahoma City, OK. The lady I was working with put the rooms on her company card. I put my card for incidentals. When I was checking out the front desk clerk said I needed to pay like $700.

I informed them a company card was used on file. She said she didn't have it. So I called Karen to give her the card number. She said she couldn't do it over the phone. This finally got resolved later but now my card is being charged $122.

Would never stay at another Marriott hotel again!!

I am spending two nights at The Courtyard Marriott in Deucator Georgia. I returned to my room after first day out to find the bed unmade , the garbage still in the garbage cans, the bathroom not cleaned and the dirty towels on the bathroom floor.

Went down to front desk, because the phone was never answered, to find out that there is no maid service. The front desk was surprised that the towels were not changed. There was no information anywhere to be found informing us of this policy.

I am very disappointed in the service. Will think about another Marriott stay long and hard.

I was placed in Room 333. I did not know the room above me was having construction done. I called the front desk to complain and that’s when Tony the front desk agent informed me the room was under construction and that they will be done by 4pm.

He did not apologize or offer to move me. He was the Agent that checked me into the room so he was well aware of what was going on. I am a Night Auditor at the Fairfield Inn and Suites of Berwyn.

Even though I work for Marriott I treat all members with RESPECT and would never assign a room to anyone under the room that’s being worked on. My stay was for 3 days and he really expected me to have a nice visit with construction going on above me.

That’s real customer service with a smile. I thought this hotel was really nice until the construction…

The Housekeeping manager Herbert Rios is a racist and prejudice towards his African American employees, I have never been disrespected like that in my life HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED ASAP.

I have a very concerning issue of discrimination

The staff at the courtyard by Marriott in Agoura hills, CA 91301 harassed me, and then lied about it. The hotel Manager, Josh Lopez, lied about an the incident. Josh Lopez brought up issues with water (which he never told me was complimentary) and housekeeping (they woke me up everyday for 6 months, even after I told him not for them to wake me up).

The supervisor Jeffrey cussed me out for over 3 mins straight at the front desk, and the hotel manager, Josh Lopez, lied about the incident and painted me in a negative light to save his and Jeffrey’s job

I booked and fully paid for a suite for two couples, 6 nights at the Marriott Isla Verde. I then alerted the hotel, by email to their active and working email address set up to field inquiries from incoming guests, that (1) our second couple would be arriving much earlier in the day than we were, and (2) offered to call the front desk with my credit card number so that the second couple could check in when they arrived. That email was ignored by the hotel.

Three days later, when the second couple arrived, the front desk denied them checkin even after they offered their own credit card. I telephone the reservations desk and offered Maria my credit card so our guests could check in. Maria refused, and said no one could check in until I arrived in person around midnight with the same credit…

We are here for a dance competition at Tacoma trade center in Washington. Rainbow dance competition. We had a break in dance so came over to have food at the Marriott . We were sat no one came over got our order so we asked for someone to come!

Our server was so incredibly rude! They had so much attitude how they spoke to us how they dismissed us and just straight rude . When I asked his name he didn’t even skip a beat like he truly gave two cares in the world! His name was fletcher.

We all seated at this table are business owners as well as travel for dance competitions many times a year! If this is the type of service Marriott prides it self on I will be sure to let the dance community know for further stays as well as buisness trips!

We all were shocked with the amount of attitude we…

I stayed in residence inn costa mesa confirmation 97013357 from 15-17 Jan. on the 16 Jan I went to the hot tub at the facility around 9 and got off around 9:30pm. After I came back to my room, my skin felt irritated instantly. Itchy and reddish appeared.

I soaked my swimsuit in the sink while I jumped in shower. After I came out the water in the sink turned to yellow-ish. I called to the front desk and they mentioned it may occurred by the rain and messed up the chemicals in the tub.

My skin was still irritated in the next day morning and my swimsuit got ruined by the chemicals. Unable to washed off completely. The water was still yellow-ish after the many time wash. After the incident happened the hotel only mentioned to Complimentary on the parking fee.

My swimsuit cost over 200+ not…

I stayed from 12/23 to 12/24/2022. Due to their systems being down the charged me for 3 days. The overcharge, caused my account to over drafted, and they will not refund any of my funds.

Also, the VP of Regional Operations insulted me and said that I must not had money at the time of stay to cover incidentals, which I had way more in my account of check in to cover the stay, incidentals etc. Then she also stated that one charge could not have possibly caused that much in over draft.

I had to explain to her I follow a strict system and any unauthorized transactions will affect my account, and point blank they over charged me which caused a snow ball affect in my account.

My mother stayed the Courtyard by Marriott (1920 Yale Blvd SE, Albuquerque, NM 87106) She stayed over a week at their hotel. On December 25, 2022 my mother left her hotel at 10am and by the time she came back at 3:30 pm her bracelets were stolen from her room.

We contacted the front desk. Was told because it was Christmas there was no manager on site. Was given the name of Sharon Walker as the person to talk to. I contacted Sharon Walker and went to her office. She stated that someone did go into my mother's room but there was no way her staff would steal.

She stated in all her time she had never had her staff take anything from a guests room. So either she is saying my mother is a liar or she is covering up for her staff. Two bracelets were taken from my mother's room. I filed a complaint…

During a recent stay at a Marriott in Greensboro NC, at 304 North Greene St, we were charged twice for something that wasn’t ours? There were two bar charges on my bill that were not mine! I’ve called several times now and been told it would be handled and someone would get back with me, nobody ever has!

I would really like this taken care of, we stay at a lot of Marriott’s and are not used to being put off like this!

I stayed at the residence Inn on Siegel Lane In Baton Rouge from December 4 to December 17. The hotel is an older residence in and in bad need of an upgrade an overall cleaning. Other residents hands that I have stayed at are extremely clean have a nice smell and are kept in better condition.

The front desk could have been friendlier especially in the evening time when returning to the hotel I would rarely get acknowledged coming in the door. The amenities need a complete overhaul the laundry room is very old, very dirty and not all the machines worked.

The fitness center is an embarrassment to the Marriott brand. They had two treadmills, no free weights and one of the piece of equipment was broke . During my stay there the weather was in the 80s and the Jacuzzi was broken.

During my 13…

I have been staying at the Sheraton since Tuesday with no hot water or AC. We keep hearing that an engineer is working on an an issue with no response. Additional the front desk staff is horrible they are inexperienced and are pointing towards a GM that is never onsite.

We need a resolution to this quickly.

+1 (561) 674-4816 - Kevin Kessler. I will alert the media of what is occurring if we do not get a response. I called a customer service number and the agent hung up on me. - Edgar Rieger is his supposed name out of Mexico City.

My family and I had the misfortune of staying at your hotel from [December 23,2022] to [December 28,2022 in room number [512) I truly thought Marriott was an reputable brand.

During our stay, we encountered a number of unsatisfactory service levels that I think you should know of and hopefully you can imagine yourself in my shoe.

First, the room had an terrible mild and mildew smell causing my asthma to act up and 10 month baby to cough.

The hotel rep came up boiled some type of chemicals wishing the smell away.

The major problem is she utilized the pot which we were going to to cook dinner in.

Next the beds were extremely uncomfortable. We were set to take a day trip but had to cancel based on the lack of sleep and headache from the mold and mildew. even though we had a confirmed…

Re; Itinerary # H5987910

This is not satisfactory; we live in Virginia Beach, and our relative, Paul Smith, lives in NJ. He called us after 6 Pm, he had lost the heat in his house (Dec 23, 2022), and was in his car, and had been in his car for hours trying to keep warm. He is set in his ways, does not have a credit card, and was unable to access his bank account. He had no cash on him. We started calling hotel reservations in his vicinity, all stated he could not get a reservation without a credit card even if we paid for the room on our credit card. We finally called Marriott Lyndhurst 1 Polito Dr in Meadowlands NJ and explained the situation and the issue with Paul Smith not having a credit card. The reservations clerk said she would check, and check with a superior. She then assured us…

:Re: Itinerary # H5987910 The evening of Dec 23, 2022 we were contacted by a relative who lives in New Jersey that he was without heat, and it was sub zero outside. This relative does not use credit cards, and his bank was closed.

My wife called Marriott reservations and explained to the reservations clerk the situation. My wife had made previous call to other Lodging chains, and was told that he would need a credit card. She called Marriott reservations and explained the situation, explained we would pay with our credit card , and that our relative (Paul Smith) would arrive with a bank debit card and a New Jersey drivers license both with his name.

The reservations clerk told her she would call around a find a Hotel that would accept that transaction, or take cash. She then informed us he…

You need a survey set up after every call with your customer service representatives. 5/5 score. The customer service representatives just don't seem to care. One dropped the phone on me,

I have stayed at this hotel previously and never anything to complain about. This time i checked in and went to the room to find that there was NO HOT water to shower. The same occurred in the morning of departure. This information would have been useful that your team to repair the issue timely. I would have checked into one of your other hotels nearby. I would like compensation for the inconvenience this has caused.

My wife and I were guests at this hotel from 11/23/22 thru 11/27/22, and stayed in room 367. We found the accommodations to be less than satisfactory. The bedding was to small for the king sized bed. It appeared to me that the king sized bed was made with queen sized sheets.

The bedding would dislodge from the mattress an end up in a ball at my feet. On 11/25/22 we were subjected to children running in hallways and being very noisy. At 11PM we contacted the front desk. The noise continued and we called the front desk again at 12AM.

A third call was made at 12:30 AM.

Finally at 12:40 AM I went to the front desk and complained in person. It appeared to me that nothing was being done to alleviate the situation. They offered to allow us to move to a different room,but being it was 1:00 AM I…

We've stayed at the Towne Place Suites in York PA whenever we were in town for well over 12 years, sometimes for as much as 10 days at a time. We even stayed during the heights of the pandemic and understood then why there were limited services.

) all of which were a major disappointment! I am a TITANIUM member with Marriott for over 26 years but could not get early check-in. I was put in the smallest, most poorly equipped room (408) there that I've ever seen.

I made trip after trip down to the desk to collect a luggage rack (none available), some hangers, more towels, some silverware, a blanket. It was exhausting! ), dishes, blankets, hangers, etc. I am mortified that my family had such poor services.

We will NEVER stay at that hotel again and I can't help but wonder WHY Marriott would…

Hotel staff was very nice. My issue was my truck got broken into on there parking lot, close to the hotel. It got reported to the staff around 8;30 on Friday night. No one took the time to notify me that this had happen.

I found out when I went to my vehicle on Saturday afternoon. When I checked in I was asked what a drove and what color my vehicle was. When I asked the manager why they didn't contact me about it he replied that they didn't write down the information.

If this is the case why was I asked for it at check in.

Also after talking to the police they told me that this was a frequent occurrence with the gangs around the hotel.

I have an issue with a Marriott property changing my rate in the middle of my stay without discussing it with me. I complained to customer care and they told me how the property should not do that. Later I received an email from the property stating they were not changing it and customer care responded with an email stating they didn’t see an issue with them saying no. What??? This is a joke. The properties think they can just do what they want because no one is holding them accountable.

There was no pricing error. They changed the rate to whatever they wanted to.

Cancelled a reservation a month and a half before going. At Aloft Harlem. 00 for room. 00 for a reservation i never made. Noone reached out from marriott. 00 got insufficient funds charges from my bank and noone gives a damn.
