I really enjoyed the Melbourne Marriott - they really focused on comfort and friendliness here. Here are my pros, cons, and photos:
Pros:
- Upgraded to a Corner Larger Suite around the evening or morning before arrival
- The suite had comfortable furniture - including the couch and leather desk chairs
- The bed was absolutely fantastic - really plush mattress, plush pillows, and plush covers
- Shower pressure was fantastic and strong - it could get really hot but was able to be adjusted
- A really delicious box of chocolate-covered salted caramel popcorn was waiting for me in the room - love a dessert welcome gift
- Breakfast is only in the restaurant (no lounge breakfast) - quite tasty
- Good made-to-order omelets
- Tasty barista coffees
- Yummy "potato gems"
- Waffles were pretty good
- Sparkling wine served at check-in - seems bougie though I had a few sips
- Staff was quite friendly as expected in Australia
Neutral:
- M Club does have evening service, but there weren't any desserts
Cons:
Overall, I would definitely return.
