Let me first share what I enjoyed about the property- great location, Capiz restaurant food was really good (surpassed my expectations and you can use a $30 hotel credit towards the bill), the wait staff were great and attentive, room was a good size w a side view of the water. However, the woman who checked us in at the front desk was quite rude and, after travelling 12 hours to get there, I didn’t appreciate someone being snippy and acting irritated she had to check us in and answer a few questions I had about the room and the fireworks. It was really offputting, and she didn’t provide any details of the hotel nor give us any water (the water in the room is $5 for a small bottle). Luckily the gentleman next to her chimed in and was more helpful and the morning person was really professional. The hotel also has some construction going on which I wasn’t aware of when I booked the room. So it was kind of underwhelming in the lobby and restaurant and entry way. The pool is very small and the water level was low (there was a sign on the door noting this). The room also had some shabby elements - the floor lamp was almost falling over and a part of the bathroom ceiling was starting to peel off. It was an ok visit but I’m not sure for the price I’d stay at that Marriott again. It’s too bad as the location is really good and elements of the hotel are good.
