Excellent hospitality
Exceptional service from the team at this hotel made our see stay really special. It is hard for an hotel chain to make a visit feel personal but from check-in to bar and dinner and breakfast, service was professional, friendly and welcoming. Well done to the whole team. Special mention for Selereko who was outstanding.

There was a lot of small gaps in service. My table being cleared while I was getting food then I lost the table and there were non left, I was standing with my food and nowhere to eat it. Trying to print documents which took over two hours, many small things Marriot hotels should have sorted.
