8/10 Good
"Another wonderful stay here at the Marriott Residences. A few small issues like our rooms were not cleaned until very late in the afternoon for some reason, and we had to keep asking for water and face cloths as these items were not replenished each day. We also had a small issue with the power cutting out whilst using the oven in the apartment, we had to wait over an hour before someone came to check for us, by that time we had managed to locate the fuse box and sort ourselves. We were also advised at checking that we could use the facilities at the neighbouring Westin resort. However upon arriving at their reception, we were told this was not the case and that they could not allow it. This is our second stay here and we will definitely be back, it is like a home from home for the family and we feel comfortable here. The staff are great overall."
