I arrived early at the hotel and although my specific room was not ready , the gentleman at the reception was kind enough to give me a regular room on the 4th floor and promised to inform me once the specific room would be ready. True to his promise, he called me up after 3 hours and sent the new room key up for me. What a different feeling a room can make!!! The first one was on a low floor and an ordinary room. This one was on the 21st floor and a junior suite. Upon entering I marveled at the size of the room and the clever planning of its spaces. It had a large bedroom area and a large sitting room and work area. The bathroom was very big and had a shower stall but no bath tub. The view was excellent too. Being a platinum elite member I had access to the lounge and free internet as well. The room and the beds were one the most comfortable ones. Toiletries were of high quality and the lounge offerings were very good too. My stay was excellent in most aspects but the only negative points were as follows:Parking rate for valet parking is extremely high at 40 bucks a night. Although there were plenty options in the vicinity I was not feeling great to park my car elsewhere and preferred the security of the hotel. To receive your vehicle , you need to take a different elevator to the basement where they would pull up the car for you.
This hotel does not offer free breakfast to its elite members when the lounge is closed – something again very odd with the Marriott group of hotel which I have yet to understand!
The area is great in terms of presence of lots of restaurants etc but if its shopping you need then there isn’t a single shop next to it nor even a proper convenience store adjacent. That might be an issue for some people. Nevertheless I enjoyed every day of my stay and left with very good feelings.
