During check‑in, I was informed that my room was ready. I gave one key to my teenagers so they…read morecould take their luggage and the baby upstairs while I returned to the car for the remaining bags. Unfortunately, the luggage carts were in poor condition--several had broken plastic panels that were popping out and hitting objects as they moved.
When I arrived at the room, I found it extremely hot. My children were sweating, and when I approached the air‑conditioning unit, I noticed it had been taken apart and was not functioning. I immediately asked my children to reload everything onto the cart, even though the cart was barely usable, and we went back down to the front desk from the third floor.
I explained the situation to the front desk associate, who stated that the issue was the fault of housekeeping and engineering for checking me into a dirty, non‑functional room. I was not concerned with assigning blame--I simply expected a sincere apology and a clean, working room. We were then moved to a room on the fifth floor, located next to the employee entrance and the elevator.
Throughout our stay, we constantly heard noise from housekeeping carts, doors slamming, elevator traffic, and guests in the hallway. I understand hotels are not silent environments, but this was the first time I have ever experienced such persistent noise, to the point that it repeatedly woke my baby early in the morning and late at night.
I also try not to inconvenience housekeeping, so instead of requesting full service, I handed them my trash bags and used towels and asked for replacements. On one occasion, the housekeeper said she would return with fresh towels, and I made sure she took the used ones. After being away for several hours, I returned to find no clean towels in the room. My children were unable to shower, and when I called the front desk, I was told someone would bring them. It took more than an hour before the towels arrived, and again, no apology was offered.
This was my first time staying at this hotel, and I genuinely do not like to complain or cause issues. However, these problems delayed us every day and affected our plans. Other family members staying at different Marriott properties had no issues and were able to enjoy their activities on schedule.
The breakfast area was also too small for the number of guests. Regardless of how early we arrived, we had to wait a long time for a table. The food quality was disappointing, and the coffee was frequently empty, requiring us to find an employee to refill it. I was surprised that this location did not offer coffee and hot water throughout the day, as other Marriott hotels typically do.
Additionally, the gym water dispenser was consistently empty, with no cups available. The ice machine on the fifth floor was not working, and when I went to the third floor, the machine had been removed entirely despite signage indicating its location. When I asked the front desk, I was told there was a working ice machine on every floor starting from the second. I explained that the third‑floor machine was missing and the fifth‑floor machine was not functioning, but the associate simply looked at me without further assistance.
I regret not having taken photos of the food, coffee station, gym water dispenser, empty ice machines, and the damaged luggage carts. The only photo I captured was of the air‑conditioning unit.
Overall, my experience was overwhelmingly negative, and far below the standard I expect from Marriott properties.
