When we arrived at the Marriot Springhill Suites around 6pm, June 2, I entered the lobby to find the front desk unmanned. After waiting a minute or so, I saw a guy, who I thought by his dress was a vacationer joining my wait for a desk clerk, come through the door from outside. His shirt looked like a colorful T-shirt or beach shirt.
Instead, he greeted me asking if he could help me and he walked behind the counter and began pecking on a keyboard. I was stunned he was a representative of a Marriot property in that attire.
They lack signage to show the locations of things like the elevator or ice machines.
In our room, we discovered the refrigerator door open. The ice in the freezer was so thick it would not allow the door to shut.
I informed the desk clerk of the problem.
While we were at dinner, the maintenance man apparently removed the door to the freezer, left the thick ice coating in place, and threw the freezer door in the bottom of the refrigerator. The bottles we placed in the freezer did not freeze as we hoped.
The sink had sediment deposits caked in it from a dripping sink.
Is it too much to expect a Marriot property to provide equipment that functions and is in good repair? Maybe we cannot count on a major brand to deliver an expected quality.
