Beautiful hotel, great location, but the staff that I had the displeasure of speaking my with were incredibly rude, and had absolutely no respect or empathy, along with apparently no desire to be there. My father, his friend and I stayed here last night, we got 2 rooms which ended up being like 600 WITH the explore discount. My father is titanium elite and his friend is ambassador elite, which I thought earned you "loyalty" we have stayed at countless bonvoy properties and never had an issue but my father does have night terrors. I left the room around 5 am to go explore a bit, it being my second time in Atlanta. I come back about an hour later to my father being berated by a squad of police, a harness 45 year old man in his pajamas. I find out that he not only woke up to security in his room saying they were getting the cops, and that he was being escorted off the property for "several noise complaints over the past few hours" but that not he, I, or anyone else would be able to go upstairs to look for his dental plate. I was in the room most of that time, I heard no noises from him, received no phone calls about noise complaints, and could hear nothing but his regular mild annoying snoring. So, being from North Carolina, but not wanting to leave behind that very expensive piece of dental work, we have had to stay another night in another hotel. The Westin advised us we would have to wait until housekeeping came in, which we did, and nothing. I just called back at 4 PM and the woman acted so incredibly inconsiderate and like I was such an inconvenience, and told me the room hadn't been touched and she couldn't make any promises on when it would be because they're busy. Meanwhile my father is missing his entire bottom row of teeth and hasn't even eaten, doesn't want to talk or smile, he's embarrassed, he's wasting money and missing work staying in Atlanta. And they can't just send someone up or let one of us take 5 minutes to look for the teeth in the room! Unacceptable and it's going to lose them, and bonvoy a lot of good business. My father is too passive to say anything, by the time the police arrived, he was up, terrified because someone was in his room?!?! WHY? And already completely packed, he just didn't want to cause any fuss and thought we would be able to retrieve the teeth. This is not the type of service we expect from Marriot/bonvoy. I can't believe I'm even writing this because we are die hards, literally won't stay with anyone that's not bonvoy, but if this can't be fixed I can't speak for my dad or his Buddy but I know I won't step foot into another. Shame on that woman, every one of us is in hospitality. If you don't care about people or can't at least pretend to care, and be kind, then you're in the wrong business!
