Would not stay again – unprofessional, unclean, and completely lacked empathy
I stayed at Moxy London Stratford from June 21-26 but the original dates was June 20-25 though my stay began under frustrating circumstances. My original flight was canceled at the last minute due to staffing issues (no pilots available out of New York). I called the hotel immediately to inform them and ask if my reservation could be shifted by a day so I wouldn’t lose time already paid for. Despite being a loyal Marriott customer, I was told to “contact the travel agent” — which was me — and then pushed off to Expedia (the booking platform I used).
After calling Expedia, they contacted the hotel on my behalf, but both parties simply kept passing the blame back and forth. No one took responsibility or showed any flexibility, even though I did everything right and called well ahead of time. As a result, I was charged for a night I never stayed, even after doing my due diligence. This cost me an extra $300–400 just to extend my trip by one day to recover the lost time.
But the worst part came later. During my stay, I had a personal accident and called housekeeping for fresh sheets. When I went to strip the bed myself to make it easier for them, I noticed a large, old, dark stain — clearly old blood — on the mattress cover beneath the sheets. It was disgusting and completely unacceptable. I immediately reported it, and while a housekeeping manager came up and said they would “investigate,” I never heard another word. No follow-up. No apology. No compensation. Not even Marriott points.
To make matters worse, staff at the front desk consistently had an attitude, were not welcoming, and appeared to treat other guests (who didn’t look like me) more favorably. I sat back and observed the difference. It was disappointing and disheartening. I’ve stayed in Hilton properties around the world, and I’ve never been treated like this. They at least try to make things right when something goes wrong — here, Moxy Stratford did not care.
Bottom line:
• Zero accountability
• No empathy or understanding
• Unacceptable hygiene
• Questionable customer service across the board
I will never stay here again. And as a travel professional who books for others as well, I’ll be advising clients to steer clear of this location. Your customers deserve better. If your company will like for me to send you the videos .. I can do that as well
