I was shocked when there was no hand cream in the room. Also no water in the room. Two different prices in the lobby. The front desk person Lenny was in a terrible mood and was asking if he wasn't clear in what he kept repeating to me. I said you are clear but the woman over there said something different. He then got upset bc he thought I was taping our conversation on my phone but I had just been "talk to text" and it was still on. He made me feel like I was doing something so wrong and said he was "embarrassed " and he was all over the place. I travel extensively and have not had a front desk person act so erratic. I decided to end the conversation bc I don't think he could handle anymore. He was very very unprofessional in my opinion.

I’d Stay Again

The property was very, very nice, clean and inviting. The staff was nice and definitely provided great customer service. My only caution is they had a horrible time checking me in because I prepaid for my stay via Hotels.com. They actually charges me again ( more) for the stay and I had to make multiple trips to the front desk and have the General Manager intervene to resolve the issue. I loved the hotel and would stay again but I think I would book directly with Marriott.
