It rang endlessly. When I tried other vm options to try to get to a person, I was forwarded to a contract employee thousands of miles around the world who had no idea and could not/would not connect me to the hotel. Horrible service. Read less

Not upto the mark. Run down hotel with rude staff.

Look at your Bill and Confirm!! Possible Fraud Occurring at Front Desk
Dec 5, 2024Platinu_Traveler
OK, so I checked out today, and two things happened. After I told the front desk person my name and room number, he still called me another name. No biggie; people make mistakes. The second one that upset me was when he told me I was doing an early checkout. Now, mind you, I have been a Marriott Rewards/Bonvoy member for 31 years and have spent… Read more
OK, so I checked out today, and two things happened. After I told the front desk person my name and room number, he still called me another name. No biggie; people make mistakes. The second one that upset me was when he told me I was doing an early checkout. Now, mind you, I have been a Marriott Rewards/Bonvoy member for 31 years and have spent over 2700 nights in Marriott hotels. I know a little about the chain and probably stayed more nights than most employee tenures. So the guy tells me that I am checking out early. I told him that was incorrect, and he said he must charge me a one-night early checkout "fee." My reservation was for two nights; my app shows two nights, and my receipt had 2 nights, but for some reason, he had 3 nights. We went back and forth; he called a dest "manager" who told me they couldn't do anything about it. And that I would have to call Marriott Bonvoy directly. I said that was terrible service; however, I had no time to argue because my taxi was waiting to take me to the airport. In the Taxi rife, I called Marriott Bonvoy, and ultimately, they also told me it was two nights and that I was correct. So they had to submit a dispute with the hotel to ask them to remove the bogus night. Ultimately, I will not have to pay for it since it was their mistake. However, I was disappointed at the lack of service, accommodation, and even willingness to do anything; they said they could not do anything there and to call the 800 number. This is undoubtedly a first for me. I would beware of staying here....maybe it's a scam because I don't know what else to think! Read less

We had the most amazing experience during our stay. Hisham in Valet was exceptional. He is extremely professional and has great customer service skill. He definitely knows how to manage the operations well. There were lots of cars and demanding customers and he was able to ensure we all were taken care of. He helped to alleviate our stress by helping us get in and out quickly. Our dancers were on a time crunch and he made sure we got our luggage out quickly and smoothly. We will return and refer others, thank you Cristina Read less
