Worst hotel experience ever
Never recall staying at a worse hotel, even 2 star ones in the past have been better. The a/c in the room was broken, it was just pushing air without cooling and on a humid night it was impossible to sleep. I must have woken up a dozen times at night. The uncomfortable beds and terrible lumpy pillows did not help. And the worst of all was the disgusting pool. I didn't dare let my kids get near the water when I saw all the hair and spit and dead insects floating on the water.
In all fairness, they did credit me 40$ for that but it does not come close to making up for a terrible experience. Add to that the fact that it was not cheap to stay there. I paid less to stay at the Royal Sonesta in Cambrigde which is by far one of the best hotels I have stayed in.
I picked the Courtyard based on the Marriott brand reputation and previous experience, but this may be the last time I stay in a Marriott.
