Hotels, please remember that the right staff makes a world of difference. I can overlook quite a few problems with a hotel if the staff are friendly and welcoming. I don't usually write reviews, but this was by far the worst experience I've ever had at any hotel. It was just one person behind the desk, but it only takes one person sometimes to ruin a whole stay. The guy that checked me in around 6pm on Aug 28 was super nice and helpful. I wish I could remember his name to acknowledge his great attitude. Unfortunately, the lady working behind the desk four days later on Aug 31 in the afternoon was the rudest hotel staff member I've ever spoken with. Her name tag said something like Rochelle. We took our towels down to the front desk to ask for new ones. One of the towels was dirty from where I had cleaned up some water that had spilt on the floor. The lady at the front desk said, very rudely, that the towel is stained and that we would have to pay for it. We were all a little surprised by this as we've never been told by a hotel staff member anywhere that we would have to pay for a dirty towel. And how she knew it was ”stained” and not just dirty, I have no Idea. Not to mention that whatever ”stained” the towel came from their floor, not the spilt water. And the tone she used was so rude. I think no one should be spoken to like that. But especially not guests at your hotel. I imagine that Extended Stay expects it's staff to meet a certain standard of courtesy and hospitality when conversing with their guests. Whatever that standard is, she was not meeting it. Anyway, I said ok, we'll pay for it. Then she said that the hotel doesn't just buy one towel at the hotel. They buy them in a pack. So we would have to pay for a pack of towels. Fifty dollars for one dirty towel. She started saying that we could try to wash it ourselves and see if it cleans up. Otherwise, we would have to pay fifty dollars. I tossed the towel on the desk and said just bill me whatever you have to. Then she said that I threw the towel at her and that she was going to check me out of the hotel right now. As she started checking us out, she said she was going to put a DNR on me. I guess that means something like ”Do Not Receive” for guest that are so bad that they don't want any of their hotels to take them. I figured whatever. At this point, I wasn't planning to stay at another extended Stay anyway. So, we went up to our room and packed our stuff and took it to the car. As I walked by the desk taking stuff to the car, she yelled ”Are you ready to pay, sir!” Then she said she recognized me and that I had been kicked out of another Extended stay once before. Since I've never stayed at an Extended Stay before and never been kicked out of a hotel before, I said I think you've got the wrong person and kept walking to my car. I came back to the desk and she began to tell me that I had been kicked out before and showed me a little ”DNR” note on her little Ipad thing. I said I'v
PParadise49901924785I'm a Gold level Marriott member so I write this with genuine disappointment, especially as outside of this event this was mr new 'go-to' hotel when I needed to come to Jacksonville for medical at Mayo. I'm in my 2nd of a 2 night stay. I had a had a medical procedure this morning which required putting me under. I returned to my room and rested for a few hours and then found the bathroom heavily flooded. I went to the front desk to ask for help and no one was there. I waited and some guy told me to hold on, he'd go find someone. Eventually, a front desk guy named Melvin came out who was unproductive and oddly discourteous in a way that was unearned and about him. I told the problem and after some confusion he was able to contact engineering to come meet us at the front desk. While waiting, I asked him if he could see if there was availability for another room. He said ”No, I can't move you until engineering says the problem can't be fixed. Plus, we're pretty full.”I said ”yes but if you could just check if availability exists as I've just had a medical procedure and am exhausted,” a d held up my bandaged srm from where the IV just was hours ago. He then said no, rolled his eyes, and argued with me which was weird because I wasn't arguing with him. The Palmene the engineer arrived and asked my room number, 723, and he immediately told Melvin and me no one is supposed to be in that room as there is a roof leak which isn't his fault because the roof guys hadn't fixed it yet. I asked Mel in if he could now check if other rooms were available? He said no, ot until the engineer goes with me to the room. I asked ”why nit just give me a key now to a new room so I could directly pack, switch rooms and then return the key to the flooded room? Palmene the Engineer agreed and started explaining and literally mid-sentence Melvin started helping someone else who randomly walked up to ask a question about parking. I asked Melvin to please resolve one problem at a time and he refused. It was really sincerely weird; rude in such a misplaced way that it was farcical. So Palmene and I went to the room, he immediately knew where the roof leak in the bathroom was, repeated that the room should never have been occupied nor I put in it. He kindly ran to get me new room keys and a luggage dolly so I could pack to move. He returned with them and helped solve the problem and apologized for Melvin acting rudely and unconstructively. After packing and switching rooms I took the dolly down to the lobby and Melvin came up to tell me i could have just it in the hallway instead of nust saying thanks for returning it. This is a flooded room on a medical procedure day exasperated a really incompetent front desk guy with a poor attitude.
JjenwhiteMy husband and I had a wonderful stay. The room was very clean . We had a great night sleep. Very quite ,also safe. The breakfast was fabulous.

SShereeLove it here staff are great location is great it’s quiet has a gym laundry room ice machine and a great outdoor covered seating area for smoking only issue is the WiFi goes in and out to much so I’m always I’m using my hotspot
NNavy WI will NEVER stay at this location again. From the outside, this place looked it would be really nice. The lobby even gave the same sense. But once you go to check in, the mood quickly shifts. The front desk clerk (Who barely spoke English and had a very heavy accent) asked me to give her my drivers license and credit card. Now let me say that in itself is not unusual. However, apparently Wyndham has a new process to speed up the check in process. You go through this lengthy online process where you upload your ID and a credit card for (Incidentals). The idea behind the process is to speed up the check in. I went through the process the night before at a LaQuinta, it worked as it was supposed to. All the clerk had to do was give me my room keys. It did not work the same way at Marble Waters. As mentioned the clerk asked me again for my license and credit card, when I asked her why she said that she needed to make an actual charge of $50 for incidentals. Never have I ever been charge for incidentals until I had some incidentals. When i protested she said I would get the money back in 3 business days. So they took the money immediately, but I have to wait to get it back. Today 7/17/2024 is day three, the credit had better show up by tomorrow. That was the check in process...the rooms have old furniture that has been torn up an covered with cheap covers to hide the damage. Carpeting is old and warn. If this hotel comes up on your search for a place, PLEASE, keep looking!
MMichelleMcKendreeWe have traveled a lot in 50 years. This is, by far, the nastiest, filthiest, most sketchy and unsafe place we have ever stayed. Cracked, molded, broken tub, sink, toilet. I have never seen such disgusting carpeting. I didn't want my dog to walk across it. There were human hairs on the vanity, toilet tank and bedding. The lobby area is a constant entourage of characters, that were obviously not hotel guests. It stinks highly of mold, **** and crud. We paid $125 to NOT sleep an hour, because I was horrified of the filth and stench. I felt completely unsafe here. You are locked out of the lobby and must be buzzed in. However, noone asks for ID or key. Do yourself a favor and book anywhere BUT this place.
