I recently spent two nights at the Nagasaki Marriott prior to spending a night at the Hilton Nagasaki. I definitely feel like Nagasaki Marriott is the better of the two hotels, but this also likely has to do with the better bed covers of the Marriott, something that matters a lot to me. Here are my impressions and photos:

Pros:

• Upgraded from a standard room to a Panorama Suite, which was a lovely full corner suite
• Bed was great - medium slightly plush mattress, the two soft pillows were easily the best pillows I have slept on in a long time as they were so plush, plush enough bed covers (much better than the thin covers at the Hilton)
• Shower pressure was good and strong - I used the rainfall head
• Staff was friendly - met by GM upon arrival, Loyalty Manager came up at club lounge and already knew my name
• Was able to get requested 2 PM checkout (though, they did an availability check)
• Lounge evening service has long hours, and I enjoyed the chicken and fish dishes, the desserts, and the Bailey’s
• Breakfast (only served in restaurant) had good omelets and good croffles with mascarpone cream
• You get 3000 points for abstaining from mid-stay cleaning outside of towel and water refreshes (these already posted before the stay posted)

Neutral:

• Breakfast had a wait if you waited past 8 AM (not terrible) but definitely a bit of a capacity problem
• No afternoon tea offering in lounge with fresh desserts - just packaged snacks

Cons:

• Breakfast only has drip coffee - no espresso machines that I could find
• Breakfast potato offerings weren’t great (even hashbrown was cold and a bit soggy)
• Balcony doors created poor noise isolation to cars and motorcycles on the street and wind gust noises

I would definitely come back.
