We’ve been a loyal fan of Marriott for years, frequently recommending their services to friends and family. However, a recent experience has left us profoundly disappointed and questioning our loyalty to a brand we once held in high regard. During our recent stay (Friday, September 29, 2023 - Saturday, September 30, 2023) at the Marriott Courtyard Silver Spring Downtown, we encountered a problem that no customer should ever have to face: bed bugs. It was a shock to find ourselves in this situation, as we had always associated the Marriott with quality and reliability. Our frustration with the presence of bed bugs was only surpassed by our dismay at the customer service we received. When reporting the issue to hotel staff, we expected prompt action and a compassionate response. Instead, what we encountered was indifference and a lack of urgency. The hotel's management seemed more interested in downplaying the issue than in addressing it effectively. They failed to provide anything beyond a refund. No mention of compensation for having to completely change our accommodations last minute. The lack of empathy from a company we had previously regarded so highly was deeply disheartening. Our long-standing positive attitude towards the Marriott has been tarnished by this experience. It's not just the presence of bed bugs that troubles us; it's the way the situation was handled. We had expected better from a brand that had earned my trust over the years. We sincerely hope that the Marriott takes this feedback to heart and reevaluates its commitment to customer satisfaction and safety. In the meantime, our loyalty remains shaken, and we are cautious about recommending or patronizing their services in the future.
