Comments: Ex. Think the rooms are same size, but got those branded executive. Executive floor had a fridge with free flow beer, soft drinks and snacks like pretzels, chips, fruit bars etc. Breakfast service was bad, waited for 15mins with no one even bothering to acknowledge us. The coupon allows 1 main item from the menu. The weird thing is, they gave us a bill to sign, and the price difference between the main course chosen and continental breakfast was shown. At check-out, they took everything off, except the tip. So I conclude this move was perhaps done by the staff to generate some tips for themselves. Other Marriotts I've been to tell me to just walk off with nothing to sign when I'm done. Really close to airport, and shuttle was on demand. 10mins from phoning them to pick up.

Comments: Nice hotel, good gym and great outdoor and indoor pool. Was off peak so one of the morning the buffet wasn't running. The entire ala carte menu was available. The server said you could order as many items as you wanted. So I ended up with a main, and a half portion of yoghurt and a smoothie and some cold pressed juice. The second day, the buffet was running, so food was from the buffet but we were allowed to order as many custom drinks as possible. Very generous of them I must say. Late check out at 2pm granted despite it being a resort.

Comments: Ex. Faces the railway line in the front and freeway at the back so not the quietest. Tesla charges in the lot which was largely un-used. Gave a nice little bag of water, snacks and sweets at check in. Pretty nice complimentary breakfast.
