"I don’t recommend this hotel as a good Marriott experience. The pictures are not what you are getting. The room was ok, though my room smelled like moth balls and incense, and the “queen bed” it really more of a full size bed, which made it difficult to share. The hotel room hallways are dark, and rooms need updating. Yes the hotel is close to the airport but they give you no information about the bus schedule to know when they are coming. The bus driver made no attempt to attend to any of the passengers or help with any of the suitcases. I had to wave him down to get his attention that he needed to open another door because we had a full bus and there wasn’t enough room with only one door open. The drive to the hotel was wild throwing us around and he curbed it ( it was a very large chartered bus) when pulling into the hotel. Not the best start to our stay. Our 2 times talking to the front desk staff (wants to check in and once for direction) was not good. They talked in a very direct, irritated and authoritarian tone while smiling. It is not a warm friendly place and you have to ask a lot of questions just to figure out the basics. I will say the bellman who brought our luggage and the housekeeping staff were kind. I would not stay there again. I’d rather pay more and stay somewhere they do not seemed annoyed and has rooms and overall atmosphere that feels more restful and pleasant. "
"Big room. Excellent location. Some renovation work currently underway which didn't cause any issue.
No outside space unless you want to frequent a very expensive bar and lobby has few facilities ( a key needs to be requested by hotel guests to use the toilets which i have never experienced before in a 5 star hotel!). Good choice for a stay in Hong Kong as very easy to get to MTR and major stations and a short walk to the harbour."
