Hotel Fairfield by Marriott a Lansing

WOW, has this gone down hill. I am so embarrassed that I recommend this hotel to 4 other businesses that all came in for the show we were doing this weekend. I have stayed at this hotel for the past 4 years. I was SHOCKED at the treatment from check in to check out. Mr. Willis was the ONLY person at this hotel that was kind and welcomed you. It started at check in, the lady with colored dreadlocks told me I had to pay for my 3 night stay. I said no, I had already prepaid over a month ago. I proceeded to find my receipt and she said ”well nobody pulled the money from the third party so you will have to pay”. Nope, I will not pay. I do not know what your procedures are but I am not paying twice. To which she replied with slamming down my key card as hard as she could and said have a nice day. I said I needed 2 cards, there were 2 of us staying in the room. This really sent her into a tail spin. She refused to give me her name. Never told me anything, no breakfast times, no housekeeping policy, nothing. The next 3 mornings we down about 30 minutes after it started. They RAN OUT OF FOOD all 3 days. If you came down 40 minutes after, they were told there was only oatmeal. The tables were filthy. And this morning the lady who worked the breakfast came out and told many of us the new manager cut back and only orders enough food for about 10 people even though hundreds were staying and he would not order any more food until Wednesday when he finally returned. All of my friends in the other rooms did not get any breakfast. Housekeep is not every other day until you have stayed there 3 days. Of course we ran out of toilet paper, wash clothes, and clean towels. This would have been great to know up front so we would have known. I would have never booked this hotel knowing that. And the amount of strangers coming in off the street not staying there but just hanging out, was alarming. I will NEVER stay here again. I was told they let go of all the full time staff and hired in part timers so they did not have to pay benefits which is why the staff is so angry and taking it out on the customers. Rather this is true or not, it was so very obvious they have personnel issues and it is now become the customers problem as well. The 4 rooms we all booked will now be booked at a place that treats customers as if they value them.
