I enjoyed the Marriott Sukhumvit generally - though, the Marriott Marquis the evening prior set the bar a bit too high for comparison. Regardless, I can tell this is generally a good property. Here are my pros, cons, and photos:

Pros:
  • Upgraded to an "Executive" room - I looked online, and the only suite type showed "1 room left" - I'm a bit unsure on the room layouts here as the building is oddly-shaped, so I can't really comment on if my room was more impressive than others would be (I have a hunch that my room might have been a bit smaller than others)
  • Bed was decent - the mattress was probably close to needing replacement (firm), but pillows were plush and covers were decent considering the needs for the tropical climate
  • Shower pressure was strong from the rainfall head
  • Light woods throughout were nice - including the flooring
  • Service was quite friendly - interesting reception with 3 employees greeting me after being escorted to the lounge
  • Offered 4 PM late checkout proactively
  • Lounge offering was nice - tasty iced latte upon arrival, nice lounge desserts (I didn't try the appetizers as I had already eaten)
  • Given a nice box of nine chocolate truffles with various fillings
  • Offered restaurant breakfast - really tasty pancake station, nice eggs benedict, tasty hashbrowns
Cons:
  • View was directly facing the nearby apartment building - any other side would have been better
  • Shower wand column was loose and the wand seemed to automatically tilt out towards the door (and, consequently, you)
  • No Internet streaming options on the TV
  • WiFi disconnected upon every lock of my iOS device (not an issue at other hotels but also not an issue with other devices
Overall, I would consider returning - though, I would likely pick the Marriott Marquis between the two.
