2/10 Terrible

NABEEL, MADERA

Traveled with family
Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Encountered one problem after another at this hotel. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! Was a terrible and extremely frustrating check-in experience, especially when traveling with a toddler. There was a lobby full of 20-30 guests all trying to check-in around 4p and we had to wait till our names were called to check-in. There was no bedding provided for the sofa bed. I called the front desk several times, but no one answered. I gave up, and walked down the hall and grabbed some sheets from the maids cart. Throughout the night and early morning, there were random loud noises coming from the walls (pipes?) and floor above. Will not be returning to this property or recommending it to friends or family. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

We’ve stayed at this Marriot property before and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. The property is clean and the amenities are perfect. We stay for business but we’d also stay for pleasure as well!

Great hotel, checking in interesting
Nice hotel! Way finding upon check-in is confusing. There’s a sign that says turn right to check-in, but it’s either the parking garage that says VALET ONLY or you think you turn right at the street. If the VALET ONLY sign said Valet and Check-in only that would really help! We ended up circling twice. Then one of use stayed parked (illegally) in the front while the other checked in. Great location close to downtown restaurants, shopping and the boardwalk!

Charged for parking when I specifically told them i wasn’t using their ridiculous valet parking. Should proof that I didn’t park there and they won’t refund me. Just a scam.

Disliked: Staff & service
Nice looking hotel poorly managed
Room was cold and the heater was blowing cold air even when you turn it up to 85. Shower was lukewarm. Lobby was freezing. This tells me the hotel is trying to safe costs by turning all heating in the building down. Front desk acted as if you were an inconvenience to them. Valet parking only. Though usually not an issue, on Sunday evening it took 20 minutes to have the car parked as there was a single parking attendant. When you leave luggage, there is no secure room for them. They just tell you to leave the bags in the corridor. Overall, not a great experience because of poor management.
