Lovely hotel just a few short blocks north of city hall and one of the main shopping areas. Delicious breakfast buffet although not cheap if it's not included (either in your rate or because of your status with Marriott). Bathrooms are just big enough.

Excellent hotel, attentive and efficient staff. Well equipped, comfortable but somewhat crowded room. Limited storage space, emptying and repacking suitcases may be difficult. Limited dining options on site. …

The hotel is new and the room facilities are clean. The moment I entered, I could smell the smell of a foreign hotel. More than half of the guests are foreigners. …

I selected this hotel purely because it was under the Marriott portfolio, however I don’t see anything that highlights Marriott. The room was tiny - very very small. The bathroom equally tiny. It was just very cramped up. …

Hotel was nice and staff friendly. However housekeeping was very poor. Each day we wondered if they actually cleaned the room... Breakfast was good though
