Star Vacations from $362

The shower was not well maintained. There was pink/orange mildew build-up on the corner of the shower curtain and behind the shower soap/shampoo/conditioner dispensers. There was some mold on the wallpaper above the shower. The toilet kept running long after we'd flush. We were traveling with a teenager and by the time we noticed, we had fully unpacked. We didn't want to complain and move rooms. We were still sleeping when housekeeping passed by on our second day (they come every other day), so when we were on our way out we asked the front desk to ask housekeeping to go back (she was still on the floor when we left just a few doors down, so figured it would be feasible). The front desk person asked if we told the housekeeper on the floor to come back. We didn't, as we figured telling the front desk would suffice. He gave us an annoyed look and mentioned he could put in the request, but could not guarantee it. We weren't surprised that it wasn't done when we came back. We had full trash bins our entire stay. The staircase smelled (we're thinking it's the carpet). Pool was nicely kept and there were freshly laundered towels available, which was nice. We expected that a Marriott would at least have well maintained bathrooms. We were disappointed in that.
