“Briar is an exceptional member of front of house staff.”

Briar, on reception, was outstanding in her service to us. We had various problems such as broken shower gel and the TV freezing and she helped both times.

Briar, on reception, was outstanding in her service to us. We had various problems such as broken shower gel and the TV freezing and she helped both times. If you book through the Marriot (we didn't realise this) there is a discount for Senior Citizens and it's better value for money than going through a booking website. The location was excellent - Aldi close by, 'Hop on Hop off' bus close by, walkable to all the attractions in Merchant City such as Avant Garde and several restaurants. Also walkable to the Scotia pub.

This is a nice hotel, probably targeting younger folks, and offering some fun activities and lounge spaces in its lobby. We found the hotel to be clean and well positioned for our activities, though thought it was someone on the edge of Merchant City instead of being in the center. It was an easy enough walk with a slight hill to climb to get to the hotel. The rooms are modestly sized, but not overly cramped. We were on a 1 week long trip. So we’re able to find space for our luggage. One thing to note though, is that there is no closet and only 2 small hooks to hang things on. Our biggest issue was the temperature in our room. We stayed on the 4th floor in early June. The temperature outside was in the low 60s (F). It rained on many of the days of our visit. But the temperature on the room was typically 25 degrees (C) or 77 degrees (F) every morning. We actually found that it ranged between 75-77 during our entire visit. No matter what we did, we were unable to lower the temperature. We eventually asked for a fan, hoping that some moving air would help (since opening the window didn’t help at all). Either there was no AC or the main unit was not turned on, so only the blower unit was working. A small sign next to the thermostat indicated that the hotel cools the room in the summer and heats it in the winter, and suggests opening the window if an adjustment is needed. We initially thought the sign was just fun, but came to have different feelings about it a couple days into our stay. .
