-5 stars is the accurate rating for this absolute horrendous establishment called Element Chandler Fashion Center Hotel. This place does not even earn a 1-star rating. After a 12-hour car drive, all anyone would want is a friendly and inviting smile at check in and courteous customer service upon arrival. NOPE, this is exactly what I DID NOT RECEIVE! The impolite and ill-mannered employee was 'Mike' or 'Mark' (who implied was the manager on duty) had an audacious and unpleasant attitude when asking for my reservation. Due to restricted circumstances, I had to stay at the hotel knowingly that pets were welcomed. Calmly I asked him if the room was unoccupied for at least 24 hours and that it was cleaned to where fur from other pet guests was cleaned, and his response was abrupt and basically stated I can stay elsewhere since the hotel accepts pets. As a guest, we have every right to ask these questions when my health and safety is important during COVID!! His tactless response was unacceptable to any guest asking questions about their stay. All I wanted was some assurance from the hotel that my allergies would not kill me since I am allergic to pet fur and any hospitality establishment should reassure their guests that hotel rooms are beyond clean and at excellent standards. This rude employee should be fired for his customer service. If it wasn't past 7 pm in the evening and I wasn't exhausted from the long drive, I would have cancelled my reservation and thrown it in his face and went elsewhere! After this disgusting experience, I went up to my room to find it not up to the standard of a 3.5-star hotel. The kitchenette counter area was still dirty with stains of the old food. I had Clorox wipes on hand to clean it up before placing anything on it. The bathroom was not clean! I had to clean the toilet because there was HAIR on the seat. If I did not have my Clorox wipes and spray to clean this room, I probably would have left because that is how disgusting this room was. The bathroom floor where the door opens was also dirty but I just placed their towels all over the floor. I did not take my shoes off because if the surface of the hotel room is dirty, lord only knows if the carpet was clean. I brought my own pillowcases and blanket (thank god) and placed it on the bed since this is how dirty the environment was to me. I had requested to speak to another manager due to the non-cleanliness of the room, the discourteous guy who checked me in stated he is the only manager on hand. Great! I had to swallow my anger and head out to enjoy my evening. Upon return, my key was not working. Remind you this is the SAME EVENING after my 12-hour car journey to AZ, I returned to the check-in desk and asked this lady who was there for a new key since the one I had was not working. Expecting a nice smile and gentle kind words that this sort of things happens was exactly what did not happen. Instead, I received a snarl with the snotty attitude that this was a nuisance for her to do. Geezus, the employees here need to find a new industry to work in because HOSPITALITY is not for them! Also, I am a rewards member of this chain and this was the WORST place I have ever stayed at with impertinent employees who have bad attitudes. DO NOT STAY HERE! Disgusting, unpleasant, nasty, discourteous, and obscene is how I will shortly describe Element Chandler Fashion Center Hotel.
