    “Breakfast with sea view”

    Being right in the city center made it incredibly easy to walk to all the best shops, restaurants (seafood is 3min walking), and local attractions. ​The room was a true highlight. It was modern, spotless, and the bed was unbelievably comfortable. I highly recommend booking a sea view room—the sunset views are simply breathtaking! The hotel's pool was another perfect spot to relax and watch the sun dip below the horizon. ​Beyond the great facilities, the staff made the experience even better. Everyone I met was friendly and genuinely helpful. And let's not forget the food! The breakfast was absolutely delicious, offering a great start to each day. ​Overall, I can't recommend this hotel enough. If you're looking for a comfortable stay with a great location, top-notch facilities, and excellent service, this is the perfect home base for exploring Kota Kinabalu.

    “Title: A Memorable Anniversary Stay with Excellent Service and Stunning Views”

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a Marriott hotel at Kota Kinabalu for my anniversary, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. Firstly, I want to commend the hotel for fulfilling my request for a sea view room. The breathtaking view of the ocean from our room created the perfect ambiance for our special occasion. Additionally, the hotel surprised us with a beautiful welcome decoration, which added a personalized touch to our experience. The staff's helpfulness and attentiveness were truly exceptional. They were always available to assist with any inquiries or requests we had, making us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our stay. Their warm and friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. The facilities at the hotel were top-notch. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained. We had access to all the amenities we needed, including a fitness center and a swimming pool. The hotel's attention to detail in maintaining its facilities contributed to a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The location of the hotel was also ideal. Situated in a prime area, we had easy access to nearby attractions, restaurants, and shopping centers. The convenience of the location made it effortless for us to explore the city and make the most of our time. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the country. The outstanding service, beautiful sea view room, helpful staff, excellent facilities, and convenient location make it the perfect choice for a memorable stay. I will definitely be recommending this hotel to my friends and family, and I look forward to returning in the future.

    “Almost perfect - just one flow”

    Our stay at the hotel was nearly perfect. The location was convenient, the staff were warm and professional. And the room was clean. My kids especially enjoyed the breakfast. However there was a major flaw - the power went out for about 30 minutes during our stay. It was hot and uncomfortable. And there was no clear communication about what was happening. For the hotel of this level that kind of issue was quite frustrating and unexpected. Despite the incident, everything else was great. If the hotel can ensure that this kind of disruption doesn't happen again

    “Good location, facilities, and a desk that is not so good.”

    The facility and location are good. All the staff were friendly, but I think the attitude of the front desk staff needs improvement, and I have experienced an operation system that makes me question whether it's appropriate to operate under the Marriott name. I won't go there again. I checked in at 3:30 PM for a 3 PM check-in. I had booked two rooms, and when I pointed out that the floors were different on the initial paperwork, the staff said it wasn't confirmed and that my nationality was listed as Thai, so I requested the same room and signed. Then I was told that the room wasn't cleaned yet and I had to wait until 5 PM. I hated wasting time on a short overseas trip, and it was absurd to be told to casually go to a shopping mall without any guidance. In a five-star hotel, discussing check-in and check-out times was frustrating. They said I had to wait until after 4 PM, so I waited. My schedule for that day was to restart at 6 PM, so I intended to rest in the hotel, but I waited in the lobby for 1 hour and 40 minutes. Whenever I went to the front desk, there were a lot of people, and the staff would call out 2 or 5 people at a time without getting anything done. It seemed like they didn't plan to help if I stayed quiet, so when I went back, they allocated me to the floors written down differently from the beginning, and I guess they were waiting for those rooms to be cleaned. It was really absurd. I requested to be on the same floor and got rooms at opposite ends of the hallway. The next day, when I requested a room change for a nearby room, the staff got angry when I mentioned the room while leaving for a tour in the morning. Isn't the check-out time 12 PM...? There must be a set time for late check-out, but it seems Marriott has no standards for when they accept it. The next day, I received the key for the changed room at 3 PM, and when I spoke to the front desk staff, they were bustling with eating and chatting with the staff next to them while they handed me the key. It felt really unpleasant. I don't think I will use this service again.
