24-27 July Visit
I quite liked this property and am glad to have another Marriott option besides the Sheraton and Park Tower. I certainly prefer this to the old Marriott Palace. Lobby is lovely and spacious. Rooms recently renovated. I got a junior suite with a great walk-in shower with two heads and excellent pressure. The gym was large and empty and the views from the adjoining pool are quite spectacular by BA terms. The location is great if you like the theater scene and don't mind the many homeless on Carlos Pellgrini (much worse than the last time I was here pre-pandemic in terms of numbers, though they seemed mostly harmless). The M Lounge was nice but nothing to write home about. I slept through breakfast so can't comment on that. but day/evening was just snacks and non-alcoholic drinks; no hot food or wine/cocktail service (I did spy some Michelob Ultra cans in the fridge one night). Staff all pleasant and professional.
I would recommend and will stay again, God-willing.
