As
an
avid
supporter
of
the
Marriott
brand
and
a
loyal
guest,
I
have
always
held
Marriott
in
high
regard.
However,
the
way
I
was
treated
during
my
stay
has
left
me
feeling
unappreciated
and
disheartened.
I
encountered
an
unfortunate
incident
involving
the
night
shift
desk
clerk
named
Joe.
I
have
stayed
at
Marriott
properties
for
years,
including
over
14
nights
recently
with
several
more
planned
for
me
and
my
staff,
and
I
have
always
experienced
exceptional
service.
Regrettably,
this
was
not
the
case
during
my
recent
visit.
I
had
made
specific
requests
through
the
Marriott
app,
which
were
acknowledged
by
your
staff.
However,
despite
the
assurance,
my
requests
were
not
fulfilled
even
after
waiting
for
over
two
hours.
When
I
approached
Joe
at
the
front
desk
to
inquire
about
the
status
of
my
requests,
his
demeanor
was
disrespectful
and
dismissive.
He
informed
me
that
he
was
"done"
and
wished
he
could
go
home.
When
I
expressed
my
disappointment
about
the
unfulfilled
requests,
he
told
me
that
I
could
speak
to
someone
else
the
following
day
or
on
Monday,
and
that
he
would
no
longer
communicate
with
me.
He
left
me
standing
in
the
lobby
alone
and
unsupervised
as
he
went
to
retrieve
a
pack
of
cigarettes
and
then
smoked
outside
right
beside
the
front
entrance.
Furthermore,
I
requested
two
additional
pillows
for
my
room,
only
to
be
told
that
there
were
none
available
anywhere
in
the
hotel.
This
response
was
disheartening,
especially
considering
the
time
of
night
and
the
likelihood
of
unoccupied
rooms
that
could
have
provided
the
requested
pillows.
Joe
also
refused
to
grant
me
my
complementary
priority
late
check-out,
citing
management's
decision
and
implying
that
loyalty
status
didn't
matter.
His
explanation
that
he
had
been
with
Marriott
for
over
20
years
and
had
to
take
a
test
to
understand
the
rules
felt
unnecessary
and
unprofessional.
This
incident
has
left
me
questioning
my
loyalty
to
the
Marriott
brand.
I
have
always
valued
Marriott
over
other
hotel
chains,
but
this
encounter
has
made
me
feel
unappreciated
and
disrespected.
I
must
end
by
commending
the
hotel
for
providing
a
beautiful
and
clean
room
during
my
stay.
The
convenience
of
the
hotel’s
location
was
also
greatly
appreciated.
However,
I
regret
to
inform
you
that
there
were
certain
aspects
of
my
stay
that
fell
short
of
expectations.
One
of
the
highlights
of
my
stay
was
the
assistance
provided
by
Ashley
from
the
front
desk
staff.
After
a
series
of
unfortunate
interactions
with
another
staff
member,
Ashley
was
able
to
fulfill
a
request
I
had
made.
Her
timely
response,
professionalism,
and
dedication
to
ensuring
a
positive
guest
experience
were
truly
appreciated.
Unfortunately,
by
the
time
Ashley
was
able
to
assist,
it
was
well
past
midnight.
As
a
result,
my
family,
including
two
young
children,
had
been
kept
awake
well
past
their
normal
bedtimes.
While
I
am
grateful
for
Ashley’s
intervention,
the
extended
disruption
to
our
sleep
schedule
was
challenging
and
impacted
our
overall
enjoyment
of
the
stay.
.
One
of
the
highlights
of
my
stay
was
the
assistance
that
was
finally
provided
by
Ashley
from
the
front
desk
staff
in
an
effort
to
redeem
my
confidence.
After
a
series
of
unfortunate
interactions
with
another
staff
member,
Ashley

timely

I
sincerely
hope
that
Marriott
takes
this
matter
seriously
and
investigates
the
incident
further.
I
believe
that
such
incidents
go
against
the
values
and
service
standards
that
Marriott
is
known
for.
I
look
forward
to
a
prompt
resolution
and
your
assurance
that
steps
will
be
taken
to
prevent
such
incidents
from
happening
in
the
future.
