I checked the on-site breakfast and decided to go have breakfast at Bob Evans instead, across the parking lot.
That should be pretty self-explanatory.
On Sunday, November 9, around 06:45AM, I wanted to get two 16oz bottles of plain water. Plain water was not available for sale at any of the vending machines. Only sugary sodas. So I asked the man at Reception where I could get two bottles of water. His answer was: "You should have asked for water when you first checked in."
How's that for a friendly morning greeting?
After that, he continued: "If we gave every guest two free bottles of water, Marriott would go bankrupt."
For starters, I am quite certain that Marriott can afford the cost of two 16oz bottles of water - estimated to be around 50 cents - for its guests. Maybe Motel 6 can't.
I'll let the readers of this review evaluate the attitude, professionalism and helpfulness of this Marriott employee. I provided the exact date and time of this verbal exchange. There is a reason for that.
