Terrific little new hotel conveniently situated with the best and most helpful management and staff
Pros:

This (reasonably new ) Marriott is a stand-out for the superb service : from super friendly and helpful check in /check out and management to food and beverage staff - nothing is too much trouble. Rooms were pristine and nicely appointed, the little Bistro perfect for a quick breakfast or light dinner - with friendly and efficient staff. I’m going on a bit about the staff but feel that I have to emphasise this : we’ve stayed at many (way pricier ) 5 star hotels in cities around the world - and I can honestly say we have never experienced such warm and attentive staff! We will be back.

Pros:

The best part was that the air-conditioning or heating unit was in the bathroom and not in the bedroom where you slept so there was no noise going on and off all night long
