As former Marriott Platinum Elite members and current Gold Elite members, we have consistently chosen Marriott properties because we trust the brand to deliver a reliable, high-quality experience. That consistency is exactly why we booked Fairfield Inn & Suites for our stay from Friday, February 20 through Sunday, February 22. Unfortunately, this stay fell far below the standards we have come to expect. At a rate of $250 per night, we anticipated professionalism, comfort, and proper hospitality. Instead, our experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived. The valet attendant did not greet us or explain the process. We were simply told, “Stop here, give me the keys.” There was no welcome, no overview of the service, and no explanation of the additional $35 per night valet charge, a fee that appears only in small print on the website. Upon entering the hotel, the front desk attendant appeared disengaged and uninterested. There was no welcoming interaction, no explanation of hotel amenities, no information about the surrounding area, and no mention of the complimentary breakfast. When we entered our first room, the floor was dirty, the sink stopper was detached, and the toilet seat was half off. We returned to the front desk to request another room and were handed new keys without so much as an apology. The second room, while somewhat cleaner, had a slight odor but we thought it was coming from the hall. The mattresses were extremely uncomfortable. But we went to bed after a long day of travel. During the night and morning the odor became worse. My husband identified the source of the smell in the morning as an open pipe under the sink without proper venting, allowing plumbing gases to circulate back into the room. Being familiar with plumbing he put a wet washcloth in the pipe to stop the gasses from escaping to the room. This is not only unpleasant but concerning from a maintenance and safety standpoint. We all woke up with headaches and sore throats. Also, instead of Shampoo, Body Wash and Conditioner. We had two Shampoos and a bodywash. We also encountered issues with breakfast service. The website stated breakfast was served until 10:00 a.m., and when we called the front desk to confirm, we were told it was indeed until 10:00. However, when we arrived at 9:25 a.m., the breakfast attendant was already cleaning up. He was on the phone discussing personal matters and gestured toward a sign stating breakfast ended at 9:30 a.m. When asked about the oatmeal, he said oh that’s been gone for awhile. Approximately five to eight other guests arrived after us, clearly having been given the same incorrect information. The breakfast area itself was poorly maintained, trash cans were overflowing, there were no tea bags available in the beverage area, and there was no half-and-half. We had to request basic items from the front desk. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. For a Marriott property charging premium nightly rates, the
