Stayed here as a Titanium at the end of August. Quick notes below:
  • Solid location attached to the Air Albania Stadium, and within walking distance of Skanderbeg Square and the city center.
  • Upgraded before arrival to a Junior Suite, essentially a larger room in the angular corner of the building.
  • The hotel is very new, and the room reflects this; new, modern Marriott design, comfortable bed and furnishings, lots of natural light and a spacious bathroom with a fantastic shower [instant hot water, strong pressure].
  • Breakfast is given in the restaurant, so you can choose points as your elite welcome gift and still enjoy the full buffet.
  • Breakfast itself is great - extensive, decent quality [except the baked goods like croissants and such - those were a bit meh] and tasty. Indoor and outdoor seating both offered.
  • The M Club is very nice; spacious facility with lots of seating, and a generous happy hour in the evening with canapés, hot dishes [more snacky than anything, but you can make a light meal out of it] and a wide selection of drinks [red/white/rosé wines, Prosecco, various liquors and beers; the staff even got a bottle of Campari from the back when I asked if it were possible to make a Negroni]. We had a flight with a late departure, and the staff were gracious enough to let us stay in the lounge well past our 4 PM checkout.
  • Service in general was very friendly.
All in all, this was a lovely hotel and one I'd easily recommend.
