Bottom line - my mother and I had a reservation, Marriot made a mistake that resulted in it getting cancelled (without our knowledge) and when I showed up to check-in I was turned away even though they had rooms available. More details... My mother made a reservation with Marriott points for the two of us to stay from Friday night through Wednesday. Her fight got changed to Saturday so she called the hotel ahead of the reservation to let them know that we would be arriving Saturday instead of Friday. I showed up at the hotel Saturday night and was told that the reservation was cancelled because we were a no show on Friday. I explained that we called ahead to notify them we wouldn't be checking-in until Saturday - they said there was no record of this and didn't believe me. I spoke with the manager on duty and he lied to me and said there were no rooms left available (one of the people at the front desk had just told me there were three rooms available). When I told the manager this, he said if I wanted one of the three rooms I would have to pay cash. I refused since we had already made a reservation using points. At that point they basically said we can't help you and turned me away - the manager on duty was quite condescending. I've never been treated like that by a hotel. Luckily I found a place to stay that night. On Sunday my mother called in and spoke with someone in reservations, who then talked to the general manager and we were eventually given a room starting Sunday night. When my mother arrived she had trouble getting into the room and called the front desk for help three times and they said multiple times they would send someone up to help. After 30 minutes and three calls still no one had showed up. Eventually we both got into the room. Just to top it all off, when we went to take showers the containers of shampoo and conditioner in the shower were completely empty. After talking with the general manager she said she would give my mother miles back for the two nights we didn't say (Friday and Sat) but I said honestly that wasn't enough, I'd never been treated so horribly by a hotel - they literally turned me away (and rudely) when I had just arrived from out of town even though we had a reservation. She wouldn't do any more.
