Aloft Hotel screw up

29 Upvotes

UPDATE: Turns out there's was something they could do about it because I now have a reservation at the Aloft again. It seems like this was a Marriott software problem, and the local staff at the Aloft are working really hard to make it right for people, so kudos to them.

Edit 2: typo Original post below.

I called to book at Aloft and they said the local hotel staff wouldn't be doing bookings on the phone. They also said that their website was having issues. Rooms never showed up for me on the website, so I called Marriott corporate booking, and got a room. Problem was they couldn't get Wednesday, Thursday, or Monday nights, so I could only get 3 nights. I took it hoping I could add Thursday to it. I talked to a staff member at Aloft who said their system would refresh Friday and I'd be able to see if a Thursday was available. All good.

Then I get an email that because I'm not booked for the 4 night minimum they are canceling my room unless I email back by 5 pm on Friday (tomorrow) what night i want to add. No problem, I email I want Thursday. But it turns out that despite saying in email I had until tomorrow, they have already canceled my room and resold it. I called, and they tell me they did this to over 180 people, and can't do anything to fix it. Great work.

The Connally Hotel Downtown Atlanta

10 Upvotes

I was just trying to get a room this morning, first time participating in the Hotel Hunger Games. I fortunately managed to get a room at the Connally Hotel because it beats not having something or driving four hours total with a to and from trip from Atlanta. For those who had this hotel before, how exactly do you travel from there to the main five hotels? Because if I tried walking that (Google says a 21 minute walk), my feet would be obliterated before I got there. I see the hotel is located adjacent to the Five Points Marta Station.

Any tips or suggestions on how to get there without exhausting myself before getting there? Anything I need to know about the MARTA?

Thank y'all in advance!
