Whereas I have stated in the past Marriott Sabals Palms was my favorite Orlando Marriot I am posting this to officially say it is not anymore. Just too many ifs with where your room can be.
Just had a bad experience. I checked in late last night. I asked for a first floor unit which I got. Upon entering the room it smelled moldy and musty. The air was working nicely so I knew air conditioning would not fix the problem.
They were able to change our unit but only to the second floor. No mold smell but it smelled like a bad breakfast was just made. They said they would let us know tomorrow if they could move us to a downstairs unit. This is the first time we stood in a building on the left side of Sabal Palms, nice water and golf view but tremendous traffic noise. The right side of the property is quiet and that was were I always stayed so I didn’t realize how noisy traffic can be on the other side. Another issue is there is nowhere to unload your car close to the unit.
Really felt unhappy with the noise and being on the second floor. This morning banging noise, have no idea from where woke us up and not knowing if I would be moved I went surfing with my II AC early this morning to see if I could get anything else. I had originally purchased this week at Sabals when II had a tremendous getaway sale for in the 200’s so I figured if I could find a week elsewhere for $224, that was the total cost to use my AC I would use it. Overall still very cheap for a whole week.
Marriott’s Cypress Harbour was miraculously available with my ac this morning and
I had to decide if I would put effort into getting II to move me, see if Marriott would move me or grab the sure thing before it disappeared. I grabbed the sure thing and will be moving to Cypress tomorrow.
So as I am writing this my door knocks. The head of housekeeping came to apologize and brought us a bottle of wine. I told him I was unhappy that no one followed up with a courtesy call to tell us if we can be moved.
And now there is a piercing siren noise in my unit. It’s the washing machine.
Marriott Cypress Harbour you are my new love, here I come.
Edited: and now I have ants on my counter in the kitchen
It will be a long day
