I had a heart transplant in June and was looking forward to my first getaway in Ocean City at this property. Unfortunately, my check-in experience was a complete disappointment — in fact, a disaster.
Upon arrival, I informed the front desk that I had a **service animal** with me. The first two questions the front desk agent asked were:
1. *What is your medical condition?*
2. *Can you show your service animal’s credentials?*
Both questions are **clear violations of Marriott policy and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)**, which only allow staff to ask:
- Is the service animal required because of a disability?
- What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?
As I was gathering my thoughts to respond appropriately, an **Assistant General Manager** approached in an **unprofessional and aggressive** manner, escalating the situation instead of resolving it. In my 35 years of staying at Marriott properties, I have never been treated in such a **rude, condescending, and hostile** way.
When I asked questions about Marriott’s policy, his response was, *“You live in Bethesda, go to the headquarters and ask yourself.”* He also said, *“I’m not going back and forth with you, and you can leave the property with no refund.”* His tone and behavior created a **hostile environment**, which was especially distressing given my recent medical recovery.
I contacted **Marriott Customer Care** to open a case but was told that any case would be routed back to the property’s management. To avoid potential retaliation during my stay, I decided to wait until check-out to report the incident formally.
This experience left me extremely disappointed and disheartened. Marriott has always been my preferred hotel brand, but the management at this property failed to uphold the company’s values of respect, inclusivity, and guest care.
**Recommendation:**
I strongly advise travelers with disabilities or service animals to avoid this property until management undergoes proper **ADA compliance and customer service training**.
