I went to the hotel, and at check-in I paid the full amount.
The next day, I checked out and everything was fine.
However, about three hours after checkout, there was another attempt to charge me the same amount. A staff member from the hotel contacted me and said they tried to withdraw the payment. When I asked why they were charging me again even though I had already paid, he couldn’t give a proper answer and kept saying the transaction was declined—which is not true, because the payment was successfully processed on the first attempt. And it doesn’t make sense that I could stay for a full day, check out, and no one would notice if I hadn’t paid. He said he would get back to me, but of course, once he realized I had paid, he never followed up or apologized.
Such actions are unacceptable from a Marriott hotel. This is not a one- or two-star hotel, and the staff should first check the system properly, and second, they should contact the guest before attempting another charge. This behavior is unprofessional and damages the hotel’s reputation.
Also, it’s clear that they didn’t send me the usual post-stay survey because they knew I wouldn’t rate the stay well after this incident. Unlike other hotels, no survey came through, so I decided to share my review here. Anyone staying at this hotel should be cautious about potential extra charges after checkout.
