The hotel itself was okay. Nothing crazy to write home about. The hallway floors are very weirdly slanted so that was a bit odd. And the room had several stains in the bathroom but, I like the layout of these hotels. It's nice to have separate living spaces when on travel. My disappointment lay in one, the lobby staff although they appeared to be friendly and welcoming seemed to be just playing the part. The young girl who checked me in was nice and I engaged her just as enthusiastically but then later when I returned to the hotel it was like she had never seen me before. So any semblance of hospitality I felt, quickly disappeared. I was buying some chips and a soda and another customer was checking in who was also a Gold Elite member and she thanked him for his business. I was like, wow, you didn't thank me for my business... I'm a Gold Elite... and she just shrugged her head. The MOST significant, and, turned out MOST COSTLY thing, was that after the trip, I was doing my expense report and I noticed Marriott had charged me 500$ and ******* charged me 387$ (I booked through *******)- I was double charged!!! ******* reached out to Marriott to investigate and was told that that was a No Show charge b/c I had two reservations and didn't show up for one! Yet, when I was checking in, the front desk did not say anything at all about, "Hm... I see you have two reservations here Ma'am... " They told ******* they would not refund the money because I had two reservations so, ******* offered to refund my money they charged me but I still got screwed out of 200$!!! I'm still livid. I really don't want to stay at any more Marriott's.. and, I may not... but the layouts of these Residence Inns are so convenient. If anything, they may just not be my first choice any more. I had recently chosen them as my first choice over Hilton. But, I may go back now. I'm just hugely disappointed, and, out 200$
