I was unsure of taking a trip until the early morning of
October 8, 2005. I looked for a room on the Marriott website. They didn't
have the room type I wanted at the TownePlace Suites Chantilly so I tried
Priceline.com. I should have called the hotel directly like I did a few
months back.
I bid on a one star at $35.00 a night and priceline
accepted my bid after upgraded me to a two star. They did me no favors.
The Homestead Studio Suites Reston is not a two star
hotel. Housekeeping does not empty the trash from previously guest. The
failed to do it on date and they failed to do it today.
- In the trash can under the sink was the previous
guest key card holder, American Airlines ticket sleeve, crumpled up
tissue and soap wrapper. The rest of the room looked very clean. Great
vacuum job. I mean it. JUST EMPTY THE TRASH CANS!
- The refrigerator door opens the wrong way. As the
refrigerator is against the left wall the door should open that way. It
does not. The door opens to the right blocking access to the fridge.
Considering the size of the kitchen this is a problem.
- The wireless internet was out according to the front
desk clerk.
- Clerk, who may have been the manager, felt the need
to lecture me on what a 'Non Smoking' room is as he nicely searched for
a smoking room at check in. No S.
I did enjoy my stay. But I would rather
not stay here again. I regret not booking the TownePlace Suites by
Marriott, Chantilly.
