The hotel is clean, which I appreciate. That said, I rarely take the time to write a review unless an experience stands out. Unfortunately, this one does, but not for the right reasons.
I understand that every business has its own terms and conditions. However, it seems that nearly every time I check into a Bonvoy property, there’s an excuse for why I cannot receive my Platinum Elite upgrade. Common responses include: “We’re full” (even on mid-week days), “You didn’t enter your Bonvoy number at booking,” or “This location doesn’t participate.”
When I politely expressed my frustration with what I perceived as the system’s lack of consideration for loyal customers, it was met with what felt like indifference and, at best, a smug disregard.
Frankly, I’ve experienced more consistent recognition and better service as an entry-level Hilton Honors member than as both an owner and Platinum Elite member with Marriott. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to justify continued loyalty to a brand that feels indifferent to its most committed guests.
Additionally, this particular property has sold advertising space on its grand stairway’s risers which in my opinion resembles a huge tacky billboard and appears to have leased a significant portion of the fitness floor to a private business. While perhaps profitable, in my opinion the way they divided it detracts from the guest experience and gives the property a rather unrefined appearance.
