The Marison Hotel

The hotel itself is located close to the city and the mall. It’s clean and the most of the staff were accomodating. The rooms were clean and smelled good. Food served in the two restaurants in the lobby and on the roofdeck were great! Things I didn’t really like: Power outages: I understand that there was a 12-hour blackout happening in the city and that the power supplier is a total mess. But a hotel of this caliber should have automatic backup generators that need to fire up as soon as there are power outages from the grid which should make the power outage unnoticeable. All throughout the night, there were at least 8 or 9 times that the power went on and off in quick succession in a span of an hour. I needed to get up several times to turn on the air conditioning system every time that there was a power outage. Pillows: It was a little too firm for me. Laying on it positioned my head in an uncomfortable way unlike softer pillows or memory foam pillows which are more comfortable. The pillows also retained heat, which also added to the discomfort. I suggest investing in better quality ones considering the cost of the hotel (memory foam pillows and/or cooling pillow). I ended up sleeping with no pillow under my head, which was ok since the mattress has a good balance of firm and soft. Shower: This may be a maintenance issue. The shower drain in my room (257) weren’t draining water well. It was probably clogged with hair or other foreign objects. The water filled the floor quickly which made it overflow into the room. Needed to use the towel to wipe off the puddle. Also, the hotel maintenance staff needs to fix the water pressure. It was too low and the shower head need maintenance since some of the holes are already probably clogged with mineral deposits. One of the staff members in the Le Sans Cafe: I didn’t remember her name but she had this vibe that didn’t sit right with me. She was smiling to other customers but when I tried interacting with her to order food or ask for water, her mood seemed to change from welcoming to unwelcoming. It seemed like she didn’t want me in the restaurant to the point that I felt uncomfortable and felt afraid to get her attention. I had to wait for the other waitress/waiters to come by my table to ask for something. The other staff members were okay. They were smiling as they took my order and seemed genuine that they wanted me to be there. Check out process: it took a little too long for the room check to finish upon my check out. Needed to wait 20 minutes in the lobby until they called my attention to tell me I’m free to go. Other hotels I’ve booked took less than 5 minutes and some didn’t even have to do a room check. One staff member that had a RBF and the slow check out process are the reasons for my 3 star rating on service. The clogged drain and faulty shower heads and low water pressure plus the constant power outage are the reasons for my 3 star on ammenities. Hoping that the management or owner sees this so they can improve on an otherwise really nice hotel.

Absolutely lovely place to stay and very centrally located, all the staff are so friendly and very helpful. So glad we choose to stay there and will definitely stay again

Cleanliness is good. Some of the amenities was not able to fill in before guest check in like the bathrobeI still need to request for it. The mini bar or mini ref doesn’t have any drinks available to drink. But all in all it was good staying here for 1 night. The experience was good will try again next time their different types of room. When it comes to their breakfast buffet not so impressive for the food choices just a simple options for the daily breakfast.
