RESIDENCE INN BY MARRIOTT, VANCOUVER, CANADA

Standard

During my recent stay at the Marriott Residence Inn Vancouver Downtown, I was pleasantly surprised by the charm and comfort of this older building. The hotel, while older, was well-maintained and had a cozy atmosphere. It is worth noting that there are only two elevators in use in the building, which could sometimes lead to longer waiting times depending on the hotel’s occupancy.

I stayed in a studio corner room, which was surprisingly spacious and well-appointed. The room had a fully equipped kitchen, making it convenient for guests who prefer to prepare their meals during their stay. The bed was comfortable, and the overall decor of the room was inviting.

One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast offered at the hotel. The breakfast had a good variety of options and was a great way to start the day. The staff members were friendly and attentive, adding to the pleasant experience.

In conclusion, the Marriott Residence Inn Vancouver offers a comfortable stay in an older building with character. The fully equipped kitchen in the room and the breakfast provided are definite advantages for guests looking for a convenient and enjoyable stay.

THE PORTMAN RITZ-CARLTON, SHANGHAI, CHINA

As a loyal Ritz-Carlton guest staying at the Portman Ritz-Carlton in Shanghai, China, I must say that my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in and was greeted by the doorman, to the seamless check-in process in the club lounge, every detail was attended to with utmost care.

I had booked a club room and was delighted to find myself in a spacious and beautifully decorated room with a comfortable bed and a nice, well-appointed bathroom. The classic design of the room added a touch of elegance to my stay.

The hotel boasts a large international restaurant, a beautiful main lobby bar, a Chinese specialty restaurant, and a gym and small pool. While the gym was relatively simple, it served its purpose well. One of the highlights of my stay was the Ritz-Carlton club lounge. The lounge offered a variety of food offerings throughout the day, from breakfast and lunch to afternoon tea, happy hour, dinner buffet, and dessert. The attentive and friendly staff made sure that my experience at the lounge was nothing short of perfect. The staff members were not only attentive but also engaging with guests.

JW MARRIOTT MUMBAI SAHAR HOTEL, MUMBAI AIRPORT, INDIA

Standard

The JW Marriott Hotel Sahar is located strategically at the ramp of the departure level at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, a 3 minute drive to/from the airport.

I checked in with the Marriott Bonvoy App choosing the keyless door option and got my check-in confirmation including room number right after I landed in India.

I quickly passed by the Bonvoy check-in area to make sure my bags would be delivered to the room after security screening. This was done very quickly and I proceeded to my room and the “keyless” door opening system worked fine.

The room was luxurious and spacious in a modern decor with all the necessary amenities a five star hotel can offer. There was an open bathroom with a separate standalone bathtub and an oversized shower with a rain shower providing a strong water pressure which is seldomly found in hotels nowadays. I was pleasantly surprised by that.

Housekeeping (including daily shoe shine service) provided an excellent service, always having staff to check back if any more drinking water, ice, or anything else would be needed.

The JW Marriott provides a swimming pool, a large gym and the hotel’s spa which is nearly open for 24 hours..  I tried it and was spoiled every time.

The hotel is posh and luxury property featuring a JW Café, Romano’s Italian Restaurant and a lobby bar including a chocolate shop. I had breakfast at the cafe several times and there were plenty of food choices available.  There were manned food stations offering eggs to order, paratha (Indian flatbread) rice pancakes and many other English and continental breakfast items. The bakery section also included the JW Marriott signature waffles (including ice cream).

Romano’s, the Italian speciality restaurant was one of the highlights of my stay. All food was delicious, in a chic ambiance and plenty of lovely desserts were available. I had a panna cotta with raspberry sauce and sorbet.

The service provided at this premises was excellent throughout and I felt well taken care of during my stay.
