We have been visiting this hotel for over 10 years by ourselves and our family members at least twice a year. Past visits have always been good with no complaints or issues. This year my wife and I went away for a Valentines Day getaway without our children. Upon arrival, I was charged a "$100 fee" which I have NEVER been charged for booking a room. I figured as long as the fee is returned upon departure, not a big deal. The room was the worst as far as cleanliness as we've EVER experienced. Upon arrival I had to use the bathroom, and was disgusted by the scene of a public hair floating in the toilet that had not been obviously previously flushed. I dismissed it to maybe being short staffed with the loss of bookings due to COVID. The rest of the trip went OK. A day after leaving we were charged $267 for smoking in our room, which NEVER happened, nor has it EVER happened in the over 10 years we've stayed here. They "allege" they have photo evidence which OF COURSE was never sent to me. There was NO smell of smoke in our room upon arrival, nor upon departure!! Anyone with half a brain cell knows, NO MATTER WHAT you smoke, it WILL leave a smell for days! Not to mention, if their security cameras actually work for the safety of their staff and guests, then they have video evidence of my wife and I going down to their "designated outside smoking area" every few hours. After my wife called to talk to the hotel about the charge, and some uneducated, ignorant, and rude employee didn't listen to her and fought with her how we smoked in the room, I don't expect anything to change. We will just continue to stay at the Marriott up the road where they hire nice, competent, guest friendly, and smart employees. Just want everyone to know that no matter how long you're a returning customer to this company's hotel, EVENTUALLY you will be crapped on and charged for b.s. charges. Never again!!
