I am writing to express my deepest disappointment regarding a recent experience I had at TownePlace Suites by Marriott Detroit Canton.
I had made a reservation for a room at the TownePlace Suites by Marriott Detroit Canton for July 26 - July 27 due to losing power in my home as a result of a thunderstorm. I was eagerly looking forward to my stay as advertised upon booking with my 3 young children. Unfortunately, upon arriving at the hotel, I was informed that there was a power outage on the property defeating the purpose of my initial booking resulting in the inability to check into my room. This was extremely frustrating, as I had made the reservation in advance and had not been notified about any potential disruptions.
What compounded the situation further was the treatment I received from a staff member named Joseph. Despite my valid concerns and frustrations, Joseph was dismissive and refused to provide me with his last name when asked as well as provided me with the incorrect contact information of the General Manager. He provided me with the business card from an entirely different hotel. This lack of professionalism, lack of integrity and transparency only served to heighten my dissatisfaction with the situation.
Adding to the inconvenience, the location of the hotel required me to drive over 40 minutes in adverse driving conditions. Never again.
