We stayed for only one night but enjoyed the hotel very much. Although it's a bit further from the center, you can get there with a short ride. The hotel is situated in a quiet location. The room was clean, the breakfast offered a variety of foods, and both check-in and check-out processes were smooth.

Salim

Disliked: Cleanliness
We stayed for 9 nights and the place was cleaned only for one time..that too when we insisted. I was told that "refreshing" is done every three days. But it seems that what they say at the counter is different than what actually cleaning personals are instructed. The filter of the AC/Heater has not been changed and everyone in the family has allergy with runny nose. Don't be fooled by Marriott brand--for profit and meeting cost-savings targets, services and breakfast quality has turned pathetic. Will never stay at Bonvoy
