For a property that is only 4 months old, there are a large deficient maintenance scheme with a large number of problems, only achievable to poor maintenance and management. I've had multi dozens of residence in stays globally and over 300 with Marriott & this hotel is experiencing already me in such serious neglect and maintenance upkeep issues as to require my most serious and hopefully helpful review.
Room maintenance for our 2 connecting rooms had multiple defects in the essentially brand new rooms with not a high rate of stays opening due to the winter time season at this beach location. The photo show some of them, including a handle that was not screwed in, unattached chain guard, broken breaker thus fridge, etc. Maybe the management is trying to sue the builder because that's what happens in the first year of a brand new construction but that should fix regardless of who pays.
Room 320 in our block had a fully shattered shower glass door upon arrival which was a first for me. I ask: what is the maintenance?
The problems continue to the breakfast, which was the most slacking and shortcoming of all Residence Inn stays I have ever had, which is saying a lot with 36ish Residence Inn stays since 2008. Missing from the usual included Belgian waffles station, fresh fruits (beyond apple (which were fine) and pears (which were bitter), sausage links (seemingly a basic). The potatoes were uncooked on the inside, which is a serious shortcoming given that they were probably frozen prepared. The 2% milk at the coffee station was warm and thick, which warrants a health question. The 4 juices at the machine were either too syrupy or too watery & the attendant didn't respond when I asked about it.
How were the pool was extremely chlorinated as in my skin would not stop smelling like chlorine despite copious dozen times of handwashing. Normally more chlorine is ok especially when there are many children, but having swam at many many other places I wondered was it intentional.
Hope they can turn things around because it is such a brand new place . read more
