Residence Inn Jacksonville Airport

I put a previous reply complaining about the cleaning schedule and got feedback from the group as well as started noticing a significant improvement. It's nice to see feedback working out into great results.

We checked out after dirty and unsafe conditions after given 3 different rooms to switch too. 1st room had other peoples clothes room not completely cleaned evidently. 2nd room had poor air conditioning and could not be fixed. 3rd room given had terrible stains not sure what it was poor lighting could of been blood or other stains not sure. So we decided to check out. Staff wrote a refund and was accommodating since the rooms were not well cleaned. Staff was mostly nice. Maid service was oddly not equipped with needed towels and so forth for the rooms and were visible near front desk and hallway and main entrance to take carts in. Seemed very disorganized and the cleaning staff was there very late in the evening 5:30pm and after washing and folding towels. The hallways had small pieces of trash that could have been vacuumed since the staff was on the floor. There was trash in the wooded area as well next to the hotel when you look out the window of the room. Couch cushion was ripped in one of the rooms. Dishwasher had standing water in it. So I ran it to see if it would drain. Detergent was not in the room for the kitchenette and dishwasher.

The staff was great. The rooms definitely need some TLC. We had issues with a toilet leak and had to be moved. Then in our replacement room our stove top only had one working burner, the handle operating the shower wouldn't stay put and went to hot rapidly. We were told that maintenance woukd address these issues, but that never happened while we were there. But after all that, because of the wonderful staff, and knowing that those we communicated with didn’t have the ability to correct these issues, I'd consider staying again.

BEWARE !! We stayed one night at this hotel before an early flight. Upon arrival at the airport we realized we left the jacket behind and called the hotel. They said the head of housekeeping would check and get back me. We called 4 more times during the week and never could speak to the head of housekeeping.The jacket had an apple airtag in the pocket so we knew it was still at the hotel. When we returned from our trip on Jan 10, we went back to the hotel to retrieve the jacket. Jonathon the front desk clerk advised us the jacket had not been located. We walked around the hotel “pinging” the airtag and heard the ping from inside the 2nd floor linen room. Jonathon unlocked the door and we could hear the sound coming from inside a locked cabinet. He said the only person who had the key to the cabinet was head of housekeeping snd she wouldn't be in until Monday. I informed him that we lived 2 hours away. Still, no one could open this cabinet The next morning I sent an email to the GM, head of housekeeping, director of sales, Marriott customer care, and director of operations at crestline. Within a few hours of my email, the apple airtag had moved OFF Marriott property and is now on Monaco Drive in Jacksonville I contacted the hotel at 11pm and spoke to Lauren who claimed to be a manager. She said she couldn't do anything until Monday ( today is Saturday ) and they would “get back to you”. I asked Lauren for her titled and full name and she said that she didn't have to tell me this. Lauren became very defensive when I pressed her with our documentation of the event. At this point, we now have to drive back to Jacksonville and file the police report.

I arrive later in the evening for my reservation only to be given a room right next to the Courtyard where there was a party going on. I inquired when quiet time was and I was assured that the party would be done by 10:30. At 12:30 the party was still raging and people were banging up against the windows and yelling I'm carrying on so I called management three times who stated that they would end the party. By 2:00 a.m. finally the party was over and I asked management about obtaining a refund given the situation and also the fact that I was never offered another room. Management denied that the party was going on despite the fact that I have a video. In addition the room was very dirty and it looked like the floor had never been washed I wore my shoes the entire time I was in the room. No matter what you do do not stay at this location. It is dirty management doesn't care about the satisfaction of customers or how loud noisy and obnoxious guests to get. And they will lie about it and not offer Replacements refunds or credits given the fact that they are responsible for the status of this establishment. I have posted pictures and videos on a variety of travel websites and contacted ******* about this as well.

Nice! Great checkin staff.
