BAD Service / no appreciation

Our company sends teams out to work in various areas may times a year. They typically love Marriott hotels, but unfortunately, we will not be booking with them anymore. We've spent a lot of money in hotels annually, most of which were Marriott or assoc. Typically with no issues whatsoever. Until now, this particular trip was cut short due to heavy snow that my team could not work in, when we ask for any kind of help, as in, a partial refund or booking the same amounts of rooms the following week. We were told to essentially "take a hike", and "our policy is no refunds at all ever". This was very disappointing that we did not get any kind of assistance and wasted three night's stay for two rooms. I fully understand policies and their stance, but I feel like with the amount of past and potential future business. There would have been some kind of "customer care" assistance. Thanks!

The staff were very helpful, but our trash didn’t get emptied during our stay. We requested a handicap accessible room. The pull down seat in the shower was great, but it was terribly small if you were trying to stand up. The bed was so high that my 6’ husband had to jump up to get in it and had to assist me (5’ 5”). The bed also was so hard that it didn’t make an indentation when we laid on it. Fortunately the room had a couch and I actually slept on the couch. They did offer a buffet, but the food was bizarre and had no bread.

In the room for person with disability, the bed was too soft and also too high for shorter person to get into or out of without assistance. Also, dangerous to get out of. No stool or other type of assist was offered or available. Discovered that this was a common complaint in that area. Soft bed resulted in inability to lie flat on bed without curvature of body.
