JW Marriott Jakarta, Indonesia [Master Thread]
I’m a bit surprised this property doesn’t have a master thread, but leave it to me to start one! The property is very traditional - in both good (the elevators - so fun) and bad (it’s not the newest). I also must admit that I went in with very low expectations - they were vastly exceeded - hah! Here are my pros, cons, and photos:
Odd: At check-in, a tablet was going through slide show photos of scuffs on room furniture - I’m assuming this was pulling from TripAdvisor - they are being open and honest - hah!!!!
Pros:
Property was fully sold out online, so they could only move me to a top-floor (well, I could see floors above me, but it was the highest you could go in the elevator) King - they offered 5 pieces of laundry or a 200K F&B credit as an apology
I liked the styling - it reminded me of my grandma’s house (seriously this time)
The furniture was comfortable - seriously plush desk chair cushion
Shower pressure was good and strong
Enjoyed the raspberry cheesecake from evening service on the 29th floor lounge (lounge admittedly felt less proactive than other Jakarta properties, but selection seemed large - I had already ordered dinner)
Breakfast for Elites is offered in either the lounge or restaurant - I enjoyed the restaurant offering
Really good aloo paratha with spicy tomato chutney
Good and fluffy pancakes
Good omelet
Good chocolate croissant
Enjoyed the guava smoothie
Offered late checkout proactively - no issue with the 3 PM I requested
Elevators and slide-in keycards gave me major nostalgia
Pillows were plush
Neutral:
Only welcome gift was fruit
Cons:
Wasn’t a fan of the smell of the detergent used on the towels
Both bed covers and mattress topper were a bit lumpy and need replacement - could be plush on the lumps, which of course weren’t in the middle of the bed where a solo traveler would sleep
