Not up to the Marriott Standard
I travel quite a bit and usually love the Marriott brand. Funny enough when traveling the fist thing my 9yr old boy ask is "Where staying in a Marriott right?". We usually stay Marriott or Courtyard depending on where we are. Last time I was in Philly I stayed in the Downtown Marriott which is great. This time I tried to save a few bucks but it backfired. The staff at the counter wasn't very courteous and when I checked into the first room the bathroom was pretty nasty. The tub was very dirty, stained I'm assuming. At least that what I am hoping, I went back down to the front desk and they changed the room without hesitation. They moved me to the room next door which was great, not too far to carry the luggage. The next room the bathroom was in the same shape. Overall the rooms did not seem very clean I have had very few experiences like this with the Marriott. Also the beds were horrible, it had a big sink hole in the middle. We stayed only one night instead of the 2 we had planned on and opted to stay at another part of PA. needles to say the next time I'm in Philly I will not stay here.
