    Staff needs training in customer service. Some were really good- others really really bad attitude. The complimentary shuttle to the airport works well but NOTE you MUST request and reserve the shuttle from the airport to the hotel. They DO NOT go through every hour as advertised. I waited for an hour and a half for nothing- and they never replied the phone. They should be more open about this. The pool restaurant:bar was closed with construction. The pool area was a little abandoned (no towels, no water, no drinks…).

    Location close to the airport and Avis rental cars. There is a Starbucks right across, as well as, food truck food court and a mini supermarket- very convenient. Room was overall comfortable- good size, nice bed, modern, clean. Breakfast buffet is ok.

    They gave me a room that wasn't clean. They offer me a reward for the inconvenience but that was not true. They offer me a discount on breakfast but that was another lie. The staff didn't know how yo handle the situation. I'm very disapointed.

    Nothing.

    The customer service of the front desk of the young with the glasses (Nayalen) at the time of check in was not friendly, borderline rude, and was on her phone instead of paying attention. Also we had several bags and only one young man helped us to check in. No one helped us when we were leaving.

    Clean and well lit with a nice modern ambiance

    Wouldn’t recommend - I’m sure there are cheaper similar options with shuttle buses!

    Were not informed that the shuttle bus was only on demand - we waited for an hour at the airport as all the other hotel shuttles were looping - and the hotel name was on the list outside - in fact another Marriott hotel driver told us one would come - meant in the end a $30 ride in a dodgy taxi - really not happy with this after a 12 hour flight. Also hotel didn’t answer calls and wouldn’t accept WhatsApp. Apologies but no offer to pay the taxi - room was clean and functional, good bed but not good value for the $300 price tag!

    Breakfast was good with lots of variety. Fresh fruit and meats, choice of muesli, chai, pastries. Good fruit juices, waffles etc.

    We did not receive our deposit back. The hotel said that it has to do with our bank, but after calling my bank it said it was not true. 100 dollar extra for a nice hotel, but would have loved more help from the hotel after calling mutiple times to get my deposit back.

    Nice ambiance, Great Staff | Guest Services Need Improvement
    • Business trip

    • AC Guest Room King
    • Stayed 1 night

    Check-in/out procedure is long because not enough staff at peak hours or maybe unnecessarily long. Also, I was bothered by having to ask the hotel everyday to clean my room. This should be an essential service provided by any hotel. Also, no room service at breakfast time is a no brainer. If this is supposed to attract business clientele, you should offer that option.

    Great ambiance and very helpful and committed staff. Very clean and updated facilities. Rooftop and pool are nicely done. Great gym as well for those who train while travelling for business.

    There is no room service at breakfast time. This is inconvenient for business travelers and anyone who doesn’t want to get dressed to go downstairs early morning.

    Nice clean facilities. Modern and tasteful. Good security system. Staff goes above and beyond to ensure guests feel comfortable.

    i unfortunately found that the toilet bowl wasn’t clean…. no bathrobes, no toothbrushes and no wineglasses available in the room. in the room there are tea bags but no tea mugs. the bar is only available after 12:00. the swimming pool was not available during our stay. a little bit of confused staff.

    the room was spacious and brand new and the bed very comfortable. the smart tv , big shower and big bathtub. free shuttle to the international airport. the bar prepares amazing cocktails. they allowed us to check in a couple of hrs earlier.
