Stay away from the Sheraton Great Valley
As a Marriott Bonvoy member, I was extremely disappointed by our stay at the Sheraton Great Valley Hotel from July 10–12, 2026. I have come to expect a certain level of quality from Marriott properties, and unfortunately, this hotel fell far below those expectations. I understand that the restaurant was closed for renovations. While that wasn't ideal, I recognize that renovations happen and was willing to overlook that inconvenience. However, the biggest reason we booked this hotel was because it had an indoor pool. We were traveling with our 11-year-old twins, and when choosing hotels, a pool is one of our top priorities—especially during a weekend when temperatures were in the high 80s and they had games all day. Unfortunately, the pool was green and completely unswimmable for our entire stay. This was incredibly disappointing and unacceptable, particularly given the premium price we paid. Had we known the pool would be unusable, we would have booked another hotel. To make matters worse, on Saturday evening my son went to take a shower, and the entire shower handle came off in his hand. Because he couldn't adjust the temperature, the hot water burned his arm. My husband had to use our room key like a tiny screwdriver just to reattach the handle so our son could finish showering safely. This was not only an inconvenience but also a serious safety concern. Later, we called the front desk to request additional towels and were told there were no towels available. We were also informed that the front desk employee couldn't help because the hotel was short-staffed. Running out of clean towels at a hotel charging over $300 per night is simply unacceptable. Overall, we paid a premium price for a stay that included: An unusable, green pool. A broken shower that posed a safety hazard. No clean towels available due to staffing shortages. A restaurant closed for renovations. These are not the standards I expect from a Marriott property. I have always tried to stay within the Marriott family because of the consistency and quality I've experienced over the years, but this stay has me seriously reconsidering that loyalty.
