Spend the extra bucks and stay at the new Marriot
Room was clean enough, and if your on the back side of the building, train noise isn't bad. It used to cost more to stay here, but the rates have dropped in an attempt to keep guests since the opening of the new Marriot at The Avenue shopping center. However, the comment about incompetent staff was a bit of an understatement for myself and a co-worker when we were staying there on an assignment for our company. My co-worker stopped by the hotel to get her key-card, but did not enter her room at that time. Later when she did go to her room, it was occupied. A trip to the front desk fixed the problem. Then 2 nights later, as I was about to enter my room, another guest opened the door and was comeing out of the room I had occupied for the past 5 days. Seems the hotel listed my room as vacant...Never mind that all my belongings were still in there. And the "unwelcome guest"...He attemped to log on to my lap top and helped himself to my rum ! Another evening as I passed by the front desk, I was able to overhear another guest having the same problem. All I ask is a clean quiet safe and secure place to stay. The front desk mgr. said they would make it up to me with "comp.nites" to use at another time. By the time I sat down with the gen. mgr. the offer had been reduced to a 25.00 gift card from American Express. After reporting this situation to my company, we will no longer be staying at the Hampton Inn of Collierville.
