Trumbull Marriott Shelton
This hotel has tried to charge me 176.00$ and change on two different stays for a no show one on a day before I came and one on the day after I stayed the night. There was no sheets or blankets for the pull out bed the hot tub also hasn’t been working in forever and still they advertise it online ...
