Residence Inn Bloomington

i stayed here for one night and wished i stayed in another property. after check in my husband and i were gone all day until the late evening. getting ready for bed is when i noticed the trash under the bed and then the blood stains on the comforter. i called the front desk and Nick said he could move us, but i told him we are only here for 1 night it was already past 9:30 pm and i would rather have my points i used to book this room credited back to me. i did ask for a new laundered comforter which i think as given. Nick said he had spoken to the assistant manager who said no she can only move us and provide 5,000 points. to stay at this property i used 13,500 points. i don't think it was unreasonable to ask for the points back as part of service recovery. I didn't even have a chance to share that the sink wasn't draining, and there was a hard piece of plastic on my pillow over the zipper that made it difficult to sleep with because it kept poking my face. i then spoke with the GM Tammy, she told me she couldn't go against what her asst manager decided. i told her again i was leaving in less than 12 hours, pecking up and moving late at night wasn't a good idea that i would rather have my points i used to book this room back to me. Tammy kept going in circles how she cant go against the decision who assistant made and to make a complaint with Marriott. tammy stated it didn't matter if I made a complaint with Marriott because it was gonna go straight back to her and she was gonna tell me the same thing that she told me in my telephone conversation with her in an email she was the top decision-maker, even over corporate Marriott.

I’m here as of right now on a business trip, I’d like to say the room is very spacious, and has a lot of amenities. The front desk service from Tammy is just terrible , the only person who has been helpful would be the night time guys who aren’t disrespectful or unpleasant. I had called in the morning to request house keeping mainly for towels ,( I’ve been staying here for three days already) I did bring my daughter with me and wanted to bathe her I waited three hours until I called again and Tammy answers the phone only to say “ housekeeping went to your room and you denied “ she then proceeds to tell me the room they went to and it was the one next to me again another inconvenience based off inaccurate information from the phone call due to her catty attitude and rushing the call. Overall everything else is good she just needs proper training and communication skills to improve a better atmosphere in the front.

A beautiful property. Very nice staff. Accommodating. But a few issues. The air conditioner is located in the room next to the bed and extremely loud. The vent is on the wall and blows directly at the bed. It was and almost sounded like a truck idling outside the room. Rooms do not have safes. When checking in we were not greeted because both desk clerks were looking at their phones. Breakfast was problematic. They were out of coffee and no one was checking in on it. It took almost 15 minutes before they had another Coffee available. They were out of their breakfast sandwiches. When they finally did appear, they weren’t very good. One of our friends noticed that the people who were working in the kitchen were just standing around and not checking anything. Trash was overflowing. We actually had to go get something to eat elsewhere, which is a first for Marriott. In the morning when we went to check out, the staff was eating at the front desk. It’s not very professional. Manager was lovely and helpful.
