Strong chemical fragrance in lobby causes severe respiratory distress for guests.

Business reply on Google

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I am truly sorry to hear about your experience. First and foremost, I sincerely apologize for the impact this situation had on your wife’s health. We understand how serious respiratory sensitivities can be, and it is very concerning to hear that the fragrance in our lobby area caused such discomfort. Your safety and well-being should always come first, and we regret that we did not respond more appropriately in the moment. I would also like to clarify that, as requested prior to your arrival, your guestroom was prepared without the use of any air fresheners or deodorizers, and our housekeeping team followed those instructions accordingly. For our public areas, such as the lobby and hallways, we do currently utilize a scent system. Unfortunately, we are not able to remove or disable this system on demand. During your stay, alternative options were offered, including the use of different entrances and access points that do not have fragrance installed, to help minimize your exposure. That said, I sincerely apologize for the miscommunication you received regarding fragrance use in the building and for how your concerns were han

Long check-in wait times and a total power outage at hotel.

Business reply on Google

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced during your stay. Waiting beyond the expected check-in time and then encountering a power outage is certainly not the experience we want for our guests. Unfortunately, the power outage was outside of our control, and it also impacted our operations, particularly our linen service and housekeeping, which caused delays in preparing rooms and resulted in the extended wait time you experienced. That said, we completely understand how disruptive this was to your stay, and we truly regret the impact it had on your experience. As a gesture of our apology, we have added points to your account. We appreciate your patience and feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Hotel gave away reserved suite and failed to provide promised compensation

Business reply on Google

Dear Brian Chisholm, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly regret that we were unable to accommodate you in the suite type you reserved and that your experience fell short of both your expectations and Marriott’s standards of service. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience this caused during what should have been a special birthday celebration. While we make every effort to honor all room type requests, there are rare occasions when system or occupancy constraints prevent us from being able to guarantee a specific room type at check-in. This can occur when unforeseen circumstances, such as extended stays, maintenance issues, or last-minute changes impact availability. In those situations, our team does its best to find an alternate accommodation and adjust the rate accordingly when the reserved room type cannot be provided. We are very sorry that this process was not communicated more clearly during your stay and that your follow-up call was not completed as promised. That is not reflective of the service standards we uphold. We would appreciate the opportunity to personally connect with you to ensure this matter is resolved to your sat

Hotel charged a large deposit despite cancellation due to family emergency.

Business reply on Google

Thank you for your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and the difficult circumstances you mentioned. However, after a thorough review of our records, we have been unable to locate any reservation or transaction that matches the details you've provided. Additionally, we do not have any staff member by the name of "Moesha," which leads us to believe that your comments may be intended for a different property. If you do feel that your reservation was with our property and there has been a misunderstanding, we welcome the opportunity to assist further. Please contact us directly at 980-483-1200 or [email protected] with any booking information you may have so we can investigate thoroughly. We appreciate your time and hope to have the opportunity to clarify this matter.

Hotel unilaterally increased room rate without prior notification or customer consent.

Business reply on Google

Good morning Mr. Richardson you booked your reservation using a corporate rate but could not provide ID at check time for this company. The requirements is that you provide company ID to verify you actually work for the company at time of check in. You could not provide this information. This requirement was also stated on your reservation details. You did not follow the policies or have the credentials for this rate.

Hotel staff moved guest belongings and reassigned room without authorization.

Business reply on Google

Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience with us. Please allow me to extend my deepest apologies for the series of events you encountered during your stay. I was truly disheartened to read your message and want to assure you that your concerns are being taken very seriously. First and foremost, I am deeply sorry for the discomfort and health concern caused by the mold odor in your room. Your well-being and safety are our top priorities, and I fully understand how distressing this must have been given your allergy. More critically, I want to express my sincere regret for the handling of your personal belongings. Your room should not have been cleared without your explicit consent, and I recognize how upsetting it must have been to return and find your items moved—especially without notice. This is not reflective of the standards we hold ourselves to, and I am personally investigating how this breakdown in communication and judgment occurred. As a gesture of goodwill and in recognition of the inconvenience and distress, I would like to offer a full reinstatement of any Bonvoy points used for this stay, along with an additional points credit as a token of our regr
