I've had things like that happen - did you call the hotel? They'll remove most fees if you ask.

Although maybe it depends on what "elite" level you are (maybe that impacts how accommodating they are) or if you booked through Marriott or a third party site.

If I just go through the Marriott site and cry foul they'll usually give me some amount of points back as well.

Sorry though, does suck if you got ripped off. :(
 
Last time I stayed at a hotel, the bar was closed, the Starbucks was closed, and there was no breakfast to be found anywhere. Rip-off.

Hotel Starbucks are trash 73% of the time. It's like they bought the signage and then just serve whatever you get at the local petrol station. Occasionally they're fine, but it's hard to discern in advance (unless it's actually integrated into the bar - then you know it's going to be bad).

I like their mocha once in a bit, but the hotel version is hideous more often than not.

Not white mocha though. Never white mochas. That **** is vile no matter where it comes from.
 
Grocery store Starbucks are trash 90% of the time.
I’ll take a regular Dunkin Donut coffee with one sugar over Starbucks any day.
Straight coffee for this guy, no carma macchiato with three twist of some shirt I can’t pronounce or even have a clue what it is.

No disagreement but this was morning and the first thing I need is a cup of coffee...and no I’m not trying to figure out where to get water from to make it in the room. Just take my money for your overpriced crap and give me my coffee ASAP. I was disappointed that after venturing all the way to the lobby, that it wasn’t even open. Had to get in my car and drive...to the Starbucks that was half a mile away.

Agreed, when we stay up at the Ameristar casino here, when I wake up that's the first place I hit. They probably have the grumpiest barista woman in all of Starbucks working almost every time.

Are you talking about the one in Price Chopper!!!!

Agreed though - pretty bad in every grocery store.

Oh, I wasn't judging - I would do the exact same thing every time.

I've done that too - I've even got coffee in the lobby, had it suck bad, and then drove to the one a mile away.
