Positive: great location, close to cornice, trade center and connected to mall. Vallet parking is always in there. Vauchers for breakfast were given, which covered 80% of breakfast costs. Kids are excluded however. Not positive: No complementary breakfast offered, also no proper information about it from the beginning. No pantry / lounge in the hotel of such a location and size. Facilities are somewhat not at the best shape, gym was quite small in size. One table football observed, but no ball to play and no personal to ask, also in limited space. No kids activities at all.
I am Titanium Elite Bonvoy member and before to come a month in advance I asked if I could stay with a family of 2 kids in addition to 2 adults with extra bed put in the room, and I was assured I can. Upon arrival I texted again to remind. When we came to room (which I upgraded using Bonvoy upgrade points to 1 bedroom), I didn't see any bed. Instead sofa only, which was very hard and tough to sleep. When I asked for a blanket and cover, they simply brought it a piece of blanket, which irritates the skin. Not thoughtful at all about conditions. Anyways. On day 2 they brought us a duvet type of blanket. On hard sofa. Welcome beverage and snack was provided almost an hour after we entered the room, so we left it could be waiting more, and found it later once we got back to room. By now I have a great experience and exposure to mariott hotels, this was by far the worst experience so far. I found the front desk barely smiling or saying hi on entrance (but saw opposite to local Arabs they would react). The room was fine, but somehow small still for a family, it was not showing the application that it is a junior room. Sometimes front desk offers different options assessing the situation in situ, in this case I had only this option given from the beginning after the upgrade. I will not recommend it to upcoming friends or colleagues.
