I have been a “Marriott Person” for decades, and will continue to be a “Marriott Person,” but my experience with this property on a stay in late July of 2025 was extraordinary in all the worst ways.
I checked out on Friday morning 7/25/25 at 8 am, went to my meeting in one of the hotel conference rooms, then left for the airport around 12 pm. When I checked out of the room, I inadvertently left a set of AirPods and the charger on the nightstand next to the bed. Totally my fault.
I discovered my mistake the next morning (Saturday) and called the property to report this bit of stupidity on my part. The front desk passed me to the “Loss Prevention” person on duty (Shai), who told me he wouldn’t know anything until that afternoon.
I asked why that was the case when I checked out 24+ hours before, and he said Housekeeping probably wouldn’t have turned in my items yet and suggested I call back that afternoon, which I did at 3 pm.
This time, I spoke to Quon in Loss Prevention, and he knew nothing about my issue. I told him what happened, and he said he would call me back in one hour.
I never heard back, so I called back on Sunday afternoon and spoke to Quon again, and he said nothing had been turned in. At this point I said, “Well then, whoever cleaned the room either left the AirPods and the charger on their cart, or they took them - unless you can think of something else that could’ve happened.”
He couldn’t, but told me he would enter a “case” with my info in their system (room #, phone #, Marriott Rewards #, etc) and someone would get back to me. No one did that day, Monday, or Tuesday, so I called the property again on Wednesday 7/30/25 and spoke to Victor at the front desk.
By now I was frustrated, and told Victor that I was frustrated because, quite frankly, they were blowing me off, and I’d never been treated that way in 4 decades by ANY Marriott property, so I asked to speak to the General Manager (Julia).
He apologized and agreed, said the property could certainly reimburse me for the AirPods, and he would pass me to her Executive Assistant (Sarah), and that he would also have the Front Desk Manager call me. He then connected me to Sarah, and I got her v/m, so I left a detailed message and asked to have Julia call me.
No one called me back - no one in Loss Prevention, not Sarah, not Julia, not the Front Desk Manager. Not a word from anyone. I called back again on Friday, repeated the statement about the personnel at the property blowing me off, was apologized to, and got passed - again - to Loss Prevention.
This time I spent around 30 minutes on the phone with Rose, who conducted a thorough interview (which nightstand and where exactly on the nightstand were the AirPods, when exactly did you notify Loss Prevention, etc), and she said they would do a complete investigation - they could determine who the housekeeper was that serviced my room and interview them, etc etc etc. “We are not blowing you off, someone in Loss Prevention will get back to you as soon as possible.”
I’ve never heard another word. Like I said, I’m a Marriott Person (Titanium Elite Lifetime), and I’ll always stay at their properties, including 5 nights over the next 12 days, but I’ve never been treated this ….. disdainfully by any Marriott property, and won’t be staying at this specific property again.
