Also, comparing both properties - looking for casual to upscale restaurants for dinner, something easy to walk to - which property would be better?
Otherwise, happy to consider other non-Marriott properties even though we'd miss out of potential upgrades etc as Titaniums.
I agree with the post above, the beach outside the hotel is tiny at the best of times and packed, really not worth a visit. The Marriott hotel pool is smaller than the Westin's pool but I prefer staying at the Marriott. There are quite a few nice restaurants in Spinola bay but the Marriott is closer to Valletta, which for me is the best spot for restaurants. The only thing I find annoying with the Marriott hotel is the lift buttons being outside the lift!
