The hotel restaurant menu didn't look too enticing but there's a good steakhouse attached to the hotel also. Room service was quite tasty. It's about 20mins into central CT unless it's rush hour. Overall quite pleasant. No MR benefits obviously but the signage indicates the partnership.
Did you book the hotel yourself? How did you manage to do this?
I tried to book some of the African Pride hotels myself earlier but didn't manage to do so neither through Marriott's website nor through their own website...
