Stayed 4 nights from Jan 2 - 6th. Quality service overall given the its busy holiday season. Price was slightly on the high end as there were options elsewhere, just wanted to try it given its location on Gurney Drive which was an attraction.

Overall a great choice for us: good location on the waterfront with a large park right across the street, many good food options and shopping malls within waking distance, easy and cheap Grab rides to area attractions, friendly and helpful staff, decent breakfast buffet, room service food that exceeded our expectations, nice outdoor swimming pool and sitting area with a view.

I booked and requested two rooms on the same floor. However, there was no response to my messages sent via Hotels.com or to my emails to the loyalty manager. Upon check-in, the counter staff were initially unaware of my request, but they were helpful and managed to arrange both rooms on the same floor. The room was consistently clean, well stocked, and serviced promptly each day. While the stay itself was satisfactory, I was disappointed by the lack of communication prior to arrival.

As a former resort manager now retired who travels internationally 9+ months out of the year and lives out of hotels, I know what makes a stay memorable. This was my first stay at this hotel and without a doubt I give it a 10 out of 10, two thumbs up- impressed by the facilities but wowed by your staff. Many individual employees were exceptional but as I enjoyed the breakfast buffet every morning for 6 days in a row I would personally like to thank head chef Chung who was professional to the max and personable with the guests in such a warm and welcoming manner he is a100% asset to the hotel, coffee maestro Sheldon who remembered guests names and orders daily and welcomed everyone with a genuine, enthusiastic smile and was the perfect face of the Marriot brand, and wait staff Wayhu and Asma who I myself would have employed- making guests feel welcome and very quickly like family- important and meaningful for someone like me who is always on the road. To say I was sad to leave is to say the least, to say I will return in the future?- no doubt in my mind.
