My family has been a loyal Marriott customer for over 30 years. This hotel, by far, has been the absolute worst in customer service. From the moment we arrived on July 4th, the drop-off was about a block away from the front door, with no one there to greet you, show you where the entrance was, or even help get you into the hotel's front door. When we finally got to the check-in counter, we were met with two clerks who were very confrontational from the get-go. No "welcome" or even a "good afternoon" in any language. We were asked for our passports. The clerk was utterly disrespectful, including telling us that our credit card had been declined when, in fact, it clearly stated that it was paid for. He got so loud and rude that we had to ask him to step away and ask someone else to assist us. When the clerk manager came in to relieve him, she confirmed that our bill had been paid in full. She barely apologized and offered us a glass of champagne, which was provided to all hotel guests, not those verbally accosted. Even after all that, we had no help getting to our room. So we ran around lost for the first 10 minutes until we found ourselves in our room. The room was a great size but outdated, as was the entire hotel. The elevator is from the '60s, and the amenities were very poor. The only good area is the restaurant and bar area. Emmanuel and Linda were great. The breakfast buffet was not great. They cut a lot of corners. Overall, this beautiful, picturesque hotel is largely a facade. The inside lacks a proper manager, the front desk staff needs a lot of work, and the amenities need to be improved. This is nowhere near what I expect a Marriott property to operate like.
