Small improvements needed

The bed sheets were loud and crisp. Resturant staff pushed out of the elevator before the guests. Buffet selection was simple. Pool was very small and cramped. The bar staff did not give drinking glasses for a bottle of 750ml water. No issues in the room itself.

Not enough lifts and it’s a little too out of the way unless you are attending the convention centre. Staff were all amazing however and the room was small but nice. I would say good value for what you pay as well would definitely come back.

Staying on weekend with family

The hotel is quite nice with small swimming pool which is ok but more like an apartment design. Location is good and room view is fabulous and size is ok. But the hotel has serious issue with cleanliness. The carpets are full of dust. My bed and blanket as well as the curtains are very dusty. My body felt so itchy after sleeping overnight. The staff wasnot really welcome you and have kind of attitude that is not marriot standard for sure.
