I agree. I'm lifetime platinum though I don't stay frequently at Marriott. We've stayed there twice and both stays were excellent.

I stayed at the JW Lima and wasn't happy with the tiny room we were given.

The Hong Kong Airport Marriott is a solid property, very convenient for an overnight stay between flights.

The Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay is a good base for exploring the California Coast just south of San Francisco. They have an excellent lounge, but Ritz policy is that lounge access is not included for elites. You have to pay.
