Their front desk staff, Amy, was one of the rudest Marriott employees I have ever encountered. She was pretty nasty while reminding me that check in is not until 3 pm with a rude tone in her voice, and pretty much told me all I could do was just wait two more hours as I arrived just before 1 pm. When I told her that I spoke w/her colleague via marriott app's chat feature, she reminded me that 3 pm check in is always mentioned in the chat, to which I told her was clearly not mentioned in the app chat replies. Why this silly staff chose to argue with me and to be in such a bad mood is quite puzzling, but she does not belong at the front desk to check in guests. Thankfully Alex, their manager, took over the situation with a much nicer demeanor and found me a room within 10 minutes of my arrival, and accommodated my request for an end of a hall unit on a high floor. Their mattresses are pretty old and plushy. It gave me back pain the first night, and I slept on the couch instead which was surprisingly firm and comfortable. Last, but not least, is the issue with their EV charging station for guests driving EVs: they only have one blink charging station with a charger with a broken lock grip: on the last night of my stay, there were couple other drivers that were putting the broken charger to their EV to charge with arguments ensuing. There are certainly couple things this springhill suites can improve on as I most likely won't return to this property next time I stay in Annapolis.
