1. London Marriott Hotel West India Quay
London E14 4AL
UK
+44 4420 3608 0728
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Canary Wharf, Isle of Dogs, Poplar
Cool, newish hotel near Docklands. Kind of a funky area to stay in if you're not doing business at the banking centers (centres). A long ride to central London, but its easy to do via either the DLR or tube, both having stations nearby. My room…More »
2. London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square
Mixed review for this property:
Pros: Large room by English standards
Comfy bed
Great concierge lounge
Fantastic location for either walking about (kept hearing Scarlet Begonias in my head) or shopping
Cons: Small room by American standards
Old room by any…More »
3. Tampa Marriott Westshore
I thought this was a decent Marriott (I haven't been lucky lately with them). The room was an okay size and they upgraded me to one with a balcony, but it was way too hot to sit outside. This one has the large flat panel tv, but it was placed such…More »
4. Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Hotel
Vancouver, BC V6E 4R5
Canada
(604) 684-1128
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Coal Harbour, Downtown
Very nice looking hotel in a very nice location, close to a lot of things in Vancouver. Many places to walk to and the views were great as well. Room was odd shaped, but the housekeeping staff figured out how to make a rollaway work. Only problem…More »
5. New York Marriott Downtown
New York, NY 10006
(212) 385-4900
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I was able to get a $111/night rate in March for a weekend stay for work, which was unbelievable. In general, this is a nice, updated Marriott. The rooms are pleasant and have been redone recently, including the new (weird) rolling/pivoting…More »
6. Marriott
They get an extra star because the manager called me the next day, apologized for their spotty service, and reduced my rate. I appreciated them following up and attempting to work something out.

I stay in a LOT of Marriotts and I have to say that this one was unimpressive to say the least. Not… Read more »
7. Courtyard by Marriott
This is an okay Courtyard. Free internet, like all Courtyards, non-smoking, like all Marriott properties (hmm, non-smoking, Book of Mormon in the bedside table...do I sense some sort of LDS thing working here?). There was no mini-fridge in mine,…More »
8. Key Bridge Marriott
I wanted my 100th review to be for something special, which the Key Bridge Marriott certainly isn't but it was the first Marriott I ever stayed in, in 1993 or so, so I guess we have some 'history'. The KBM was not a new hotel when i stayed here 17…More »
9. Residence Inn Orlando at SeaWorld
Dirty rooms and dirty carpet throughout. Really a 2 star experience but the front desk manager tried to help by having the cleaning people clean my room (twice!). Not indicative of what a residence ought to be like. If you have a car the location…More »
10. Residence Inn Portland Downtown/Lloyd Center
Portland, OR 97232
(503) 288-1400
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Northeast Portland, Broadway District, Sullivan's Gulch
Residence Inns are for the most part cookie-cutter the same from location to location, with the exceptions of ones in high rises (which I haven't figured out how they fit in). They basically look like condo complexes and give you a bit more room than…More »
11. Cedar Rapids Marriott
Marriotts are starting to bum me out. I've had them as my "hotel of choice" for quite some time, but the corporation is stiffing the people who stay at its higher end properties, like the Marriott hotels. Almost all Marriott Courtyards I stay in…More »
12. Marriott University Park
This Marriott was okay, but nothing to write home about (and I stay in a lot of Marriotts)
Pluses
- Nicely decorated room, new marble counter tops, flat screen TV
- Good workout room and a pool
- Good concierge lounge with a decent breakfast offering

13. Anchorage Marriott Downtown
Kind of a drab skyscraper in downtown Anchorage. There didn't seem to be too much to do right around the hotel. The valet and bell staff were very helpful, especially since we had more gear than they brought with them to D-day. Rooms were ok as…More »
14. Marriott Hotel
Hotel has a pretty view overlooking the York racetrack. A fair ways out of town, and the bus is both expensive and doesn't come all that often. I walked it most times, thinking I'd hop the bus if it passed me, which it rarely did. The hotel was…More »
15. Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City
"putting on the Ritz", "wow, that is Ritzy"...these conjure up some idea of a very upscale experience. Although it wasn't a horrible stay, I have to say that it just wasn't up to what I would expect out of a Ritz. First, although Marriott says on…More »
16. Residence Inn
Old furniture, huge gouge out of the kitchen counter, which was old-school formica. The kitchen looked like it came out of the 70s. Small, CRT TV unlike most with a large flat-screen TV. Staff was all sitting down in the lounge area when I came in…More »
