Good location BUT...If you have allergies or asthma in reaction to feather pillows and bedding, BEWARE of this hotel! I asked for a feather free room (I am severely allergic to feathers) in the online communications with this Courtyard's staff, when making my reservation. Upon arriving, I checked again with the front desk staff, who assured me my room was feather-free, and in fact, mentioned that he could not upgrade me because the other rooms were not feather-free. However, a few minutes after entering the room, I knew something was not right because I started to get watery eyes and chest tightness, which are the first symptoms of an asthma attack. When I checked the pillows, two of them were feather pillows, in the room that was supposed to be feather-free! I called housekeeping to take them away, but no one picked up. I called the front desk but, no one picked up. I called up housekeeping once more, but still no one answered the phone. I finally had to go down to the front desk so the clerk could radio the housekeeper to remove the feather pillows in my room. By this time, I was starting to get short of breath, so I took my allergy/asthma medications to prevent a full-blown asthma attack. The housekeeper came shortly after, and removed the feather pillows, expressing her surprise that they were present in their "feather-free" room. This is potentially dangerous for the health of customers, who may be allergic to feathers. After informing the hotel in writing, and then verbally confirming the feather-free status of the room upon check-in, the indifference and carelessness with which my health-related request was handled dismays me. This is not the Marriott quality of service that I am used to. In the past, I have had to be hospitalized because of my allergies, and I am thankful I was able to prevent an asthma attack at this Marriott hotel, but if I had just taken the clerk's assurance that the room was feather-free, I could have ended up with an acute asthma attack requiring ER care. All because of the carelessness of the staff at this Marriott hotel. I wrote to the Marriott feedback site and was told they had contacted the hotel staff to respond to my feedback. I waited for the 3-5 days that they indicated in their email, for the Courtyard Atlanta Decatur Downtown/Emory staff to respond to my feedback. But no one approached or reached out from that team. Very disappointing. The matter of having feathers in what is supposed to be a feather-free room may be an inconvenience for housekeeping, but it could mean a medical emergency for someone with allergies/asthma like myself. The indifference of this Courtyard’s executive team says it all about their customer care---it is ZERO.
