I
recently
had
an
extended
stay
at
Marriot,
and
I
am
compelled
to
share
my
experience,
which
was
unfortunately
riddled
with
numerous
problems
and
lapses
in
service.
The
following
issues
greatly
impacted
our
stay:
1.
Marriot
Rewards
Exclusion:
We
were
dismayed
to
learn
that
booking
through
our
credit
card
company
meant
that
none
of
our
reservation
dates
would
be
eligible
for
Marriot
rewards
points.
This
restriction
was
not
made
clear
during
the
booking
process,
leaving
us
feeling
disappointed
and
excluded
from
the
benefits
we
expected.
This
has
not
been
a
problem
at
other
hotels.
2.
Inconsistent
Incidental
Charges:
The
handling
of
incidental
charges
was
marked
by
inconsistency
and
misinformation.
Initially,
we
were
charged
$20
per
night,
as
communicated
by
the
hotel.
However,
during
the
second
segment
of
our
stay,
the
charge
abruptly
increased
to
$50
per
night.
When
we
sought
clarification,
the
front
desk
staff
insisted
that
the
charge
had
always
been
$50,
contradicting
their
earlier
communication.
This
inconsistency
in
charging
practices
raised
concerns
about
transparency
and
trustworthiness.
3.
Erroneous
Parking
Charges:
It
came
to
our
attention
that
we
were
incorrectly
billed
for
parking,
despite
not
having
a
vehicle
during
our
entire
stay.
We
had
to
proactively
inform
the
front
desk
about
this
error
to
have
the
charges
reversed.
Had
we
not
diligently
reviewed
our
credit
card
statement,
this
mistake
would
have
gone
unnoticed,
highlighting
a
lack
of
attention
to
detail
on
the
hotel's
part.
4.
Misleading
Checkout
Confirmation
and
Erroneous
Charges:
Upon
checkout,
we
specifically
confirmed
with
the
front
desk
that
we
had
incurred
no
additional
charges.
However,
to
our
shock
and
dismay,
we
discovered
a
few
days
later
an
erroneous
charge
of
over
$400
on
our
credit
card
statement.
Rectifying
this
situation
required
us
to
contact
the
hotel
directly
and
request
a
reversal
of
the
charges.
Such
a
fundamental
breakdown
in
communication
and
accounting
processes
is
highly
concerning
and
speaks
to
a
lack
of
professionalism
and
accuracy.
5.
Privacy
Invasion
by
Housekeeping:
On
a
particular
day
at
around
9
am,
we
experienced
a
disturbing
incident
involving
housekeeping.
After
a
single
knock
on
our
door,
the
staff
member
proceeded
to
immediately
open
our
room
door
without
warning
or
seeking
permission.
This
invasion
of
our
privacy
left
us
feeling
shocked
and
violated.
The
staff
member
offered
a
hasty
apology
and
left
without
providing
any
explanation
for
their
actions,
further
adding
to
our
unease.
6.
Insufficient
Room
Cleaning:
Throughout
my
stay,
the
rooms
were
rarely
cleaned,
despite
requesting
cleaning
services.
When
I
inquired,
the
staff
informed
me
that
they
only
provided
room
service
every
3-4
days.
Even
when
I
specifically
asked
for
the
room
to
be
cleaned,
they
only
exchanged
towels
without
changing
the
linens,
which
fell
short
of
basic
cleanliness
expectations.
The
occurrence
of
these
issues,
despite
our
efforts
to
double-check
details
with
the
front
desk,
is
unacceptable.
The
resulting
consequences,
including
wasted
time
and
unnecessary
effort
on
our
part,
tarnished
what
should
have
been
an
enjoyable
and
stress-free
stay.
In
light
of
these
experiences,
I
urge
Marriot
to
conduct
a
thorough
investigation
into
these
matters,
address
the
deficiencies
in
their
service,
and
provide
appropriate
training
and
oversight
to
ensure
such
errors
are
not
repeated.
As
loyal
customers,
we
expected
a
higher
level
of
professionalism,
accuracy,
and
respect
for
privacy.
It
is
my
hope
that
by
sharing
this
review,
Marriot
takes
our
concerns
seriously
and
implements
measures
to
rectify
these
shortcomings,
thereby
improving
the
overall
experience
for
future
guests.
The
only
positive
aspect
of
this
hotel
is
that
the
facility
is
quite
new
and
the
location
is
convenient.
