Bamboozled

I just spent a week at the Marriott as part of a convention. Our group had been promised we’d all be put in the newly renovated towers, which were supposed to have been completed last January. Well it’s July and 3 floors are closed due to being in the demo reconstruction phase. Maybe half of the other rooms had been renovated. We had a newly renovated room. No one in convention was allowed to check in before 4;00, some had to wait until 7:00 to get their rooms. I never saw a bell hop. There were maybe 4 luggage carts for a 19 floor hotel. We had to make 10 trips from the nearby garage and carry items by hand because we could never get a cart. We get to our floor and find out they are changing out the locks on all the doors. Imagine someone jack hammering outside your door all day long! They decided to change all the door locks the week of a convention of 800 people doing all their events at the hotel. Constant drilling and hammering noises all day long staring at 7:00 AM! Some people had constant issues with their new keys not working and got locked out of their room for an entire day. Hotel staff did nothing to help these people. The elevators were broken constantly usually only one of the 3 were working . I got stuck inside elevator several times which is traumatic when you are claustrophobic. The escalators that lead from lobby up to convention rooms were broken for the first 6 days I was there, then the down escalator broke. What the hell Marriott??? Convention guests were supposed to get 20% discount at hotel restaurant. If you didn’t remember to ASK for it, it was not offered. We were 80% of the occupancy wearing our badges, seriously Marriott you were hoping to not have to honor that? The new rooms have fake wood plank flooring . The maid service must think that means they don’t have to clean it . My floor was coated with dust and maid never swept the floor, crumbs from anything I ate was there all week. Only good thing I have to say is the beds were comfy. The hallways and stairwells were covered with dust and dirt, most likely from construction debris, but it wasn’t cleaned up. Then final insult when checking out discover we got charged for internet!! Who does that anymore?? They never said that on Checkin. There was no login. No message saying you had to pay when you accessed it. $12.95 a day for internet is outrageous ! Marriott was a TOTAL fail, will never choose to stay thee again !…

I am very pleased with my room, the cleanliness and comfort. Every part of the room, the furniture, the bed, the bathroom, the lighting, were all outstanding. I had a most comfortable stay at this property. The hall noice was very limited. The restaurant/bar areas were always well maintained and well attended.…

New Updates but Rough

I checked in and was told I had a room in the East Tower in one of the "new, fantastic" rooms. I was pointed to elevators that, when I went up, I stumbled out to the tile being done and a worker telling me not to touch the tiles. I had been sent to the wrong tower. He told me to go through the construction, with my luggage, to the stairs and take the stairs down to a working elevator. When I got to my room, it was indeed very nice. But there were numerous things that just weren't right - no water bottles in the room, the shower head is designed poorly given how little water pressure there was. Also, there are only two elevators to the East Tower rooms. However, starting in the evening, one of those elevators is closed for the rooftop bar access only which means there is just one elevator servicing the entire tower. Since this is apparently a big convention hotel as well, that can be a challenge. When I was there, there was a Christmas convention in July that was filled with carts and carts of Christmas stuff that caused navigating the hotel, especially the elevators, a real challenge. It also meant that, even though I had valet parked my car, I had to self park it for one of the nights, effectively paying twice, because I couldn't to the valet given the number of people unloading their Christmas items blocking the entire front of the hotel. Lastly, the breakfast buffet was seriously challenging at best. The remodel has great potential, and the room, for the most part, was indeed extremely nice, but there are tons of kinks to work out.…

Great place and a great base

Really helpful staff, great facilities and a lovely room in the East Tower. The staff couldn’t do enough to help and the temporary bar and restaurant served good beer and food. The restaurants and other places around the hotel were top quality as well.
