We checked into this location on 2/22/19 before a baseball game and thought our room was great! After the game and a late dinner we came back to get some rest...only to find that our bed smelled like urine. After further investigation we found that the sheets and mattress pad were SOAKED on one side. I had been laying in it ?????ñ?« the desk offered us new bedding (that we had to change ourselves), but we found out it was the mattress. They moved us to another hotel (around 12am) because they were booked and we finally were able to sleep around 1am after showers. We have called the GM and manager for a refund 4 times, no return call or refund. We called Marriott customer service...they need the hotel?ó?é¼?äós response. It?ó?é¼?äós ridiculous. Not only is the customer service UNACCEPTABLE, but the whole situation is a health issue. My wife laid in someone else?ó?é¼?äós urine.
One month later we received our refund with a bland email response that still left us chasing our own refund again!! After 3 weeks of phone calls to Marriott?ó?é¼?äós customer service and got absolutely nowhere. Kept getting told it was being escalated which apparently was a complete lie bc the last person we spoke to said the case was closed, re-opened, closed, and then re-opened again and sent to management. The email response from the marriot management team (not the hotel management team) was abrupt with a basic almost script like response of ?ó?é¼?ôhere?ó?é¼?äós refund, now leave us alone?ó?é¼?¥ kind of feel to it. Yet, no apology or no anything to try and make the situation right by the customer who laid in someone else?ó?é¼?äós URINE!!! Health concerns and cleanliness seem to be of no priority to Marriott!!! Just nasty and gross!!!! Who makes a bed and passes it off as clean when it?ó?é¼?äós completely soaked in urine?!
