Terrible Experience with Front Desk – Assistant General Manager Daniel Delaney
I stayed at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Willowgrove and while most of the stay was pleasant, the treatment my wife and I received from the front desk—especially from Assistant General Manager Daniel Delaney—was absolutely unacceptable.
Daniel Delaney was incredibly rude and dismissive during check-in. Despite having a confirmed reservation, he told us the hotel was "sold out" and only proceeded with the check-in after we provided proof of payment. His attitude was hostile and seemed intentionally obstructive.
What made the situation worse was that he demanded my wife, who had recently undergone heart surgery, to personally come to the front desk to verify a credit card that had already been accepted. This unnecessary demand caused my wife great distress and put her health at risk, showing a complete lack of empathy or professionalism.
We’ve also discovered that other guests have reported similar behavior from the front desk in online reviews. This type of service is damaging to the reputation of the hotel, and I would advise future guests to proceed with caution when considering a stay here.
Marriott should take immediate action to address the issues with their front desk staff, as the experience we had with Daniel Delaney has left us deeply disappointed.
