This was, by far, the worst hotel experience I've ever had. During my stay, when sitting in my room, I detected a rotten sulfur-like stench. I was concerned what it could be, so I informed the front desk. I started feeling light-headed as a result, so I sat down in the lobby. Almost half an hour after reporting this, I tried going back up again. However, as soon as the elevator door opened, I was immediately struck by an incredibly strong smell, and it was impossible to breathe. I went back down and told the front desk again, but they hadn't looked into it. I was unable to stay in my room this whole time. I warned them about the urgency several times (it could have been a gas leak, and it was causing me to feel lightheaded being up there even briefly, so it seemed dangerous), but they remained unconcerned. My partner came to pick me up, and she confirmed that the smell was unbearable and that something was wrong. I left the property immediately in fear, and remained lightheaded for several hours afterwards. The experience doesn't end there. We raised this concern with the general manager of the hotel. He apologized for the incident, but said it wasn't their fault. Maybe the original issue wasn't the hotel's fault, but their negligence in handling the issue certainly was, leaving me in the lobby with no idea what was going on for over half an hour. He offered some reward points as compensation, but it was an unreasonably low amount, given the severity of the experience. We requested more points, and he promised he would get back to us after the weekend. He did not get back to us after the weekend. In fact, we called and sent a few emails after then, and he ghosted us for almost a month. As a result, we contacted Marriott group again, and he finally got back to us. However, he simply said the situation had already been resolved (despite his promise of getting back to us). He was ignoring us since he claimed he had "more pressing matters" to deal with. Finally, he wished us a good weekend and rudely hung up on us. To pre-empt some comments. First, we said that we would post our complaints publicly. He said that he would instruct his social media team to say we were being "unfriendly." Obviously, we would disagree. But this is our word against his, and there's really no way for you (the reader) to know who's in the right. Nonetheless, it seems unprofessional to say this to a guest. Secondly, a reader may wonder if we had already gotten enough points, and were just getting greedy. Again, I don't think so. But even putting these two matters (which may be subjective) aside, I think that either of the following two points are completely unacceptable for any organization in the hospitality industry: a) To ignore a guest's urgent concerns during their stay, when they have come to you many times, and are sitting there in the lobby waiting for a response, b) To promise to get back to an unsatisfied guest, subsequently not do so, and then ignore their m
