I stayed here last week for a Marriott Moment, service was excellent at the reception area and in general very friendly. The mall location is a massive plus for us and was extremely convenient. I was slightly disappointed with the breakfast spread having done a few days in La Ville before coming here, their breakfast was 10x better!

Should I hide a note for you in my room? I'm in an 01 room right now. I did that at the Fairmont Singapore in one of my first penthouse stays as my friend was hoping to get the same suite. He never did, but I've had the same suite a few times, and my note was still where I hid it. @nomadic.relief had my penthouse suite a few years ago, and found my note (with instructions on where I had hidden it.) Now that they are renovating that Fairmont, I imagine it will be gone forever.

What is the difference in the views between xx01 and xx39, any recommendations? Do you just book the classic room and usually get the suite?

difficult one to be honest, Grand is newer and has a equally good location (being near the airport and downtown area) however MOE location is good for Marina and Palm area and obviously good to walk around direct into MOE. It largely depends on what your plan is in DXB.

True but airport proximity is not a factor anyway
