Reviews
The hotel itself is spectacular. The location is perfect, with breathtaking views from the rooms. Every detail, from the room to the service, has exceeded my expectations.
I can’t recommend it highly enough!
If you like plastic sofas and queuing this is the place for you.
You can hear everything that happens in the room next door, nothing works and the interior feels very cheap and sometimes dangerous (exposed electrical wires around sink)…… you also have to queue a lot; at check-in, for the lifts, for the restaurant etc.
Overall very disappointing and definitely not a 5 star hotel. You get a strong sense of budget cuts going on inside the hotel and I feel sorry for the staff here
Water front shower leaks into the water closet. This is a problem with all rooms. Not sure why they don’t fix this?
Mirror lights way too dim. Difficult to shave or put on makeup.
Pretty room but these other issues are essential for a satisfying stay for the price. I am sad to write this review.
No avail. It was gone forever since they said to email them and we never heard back. They did not make any effort and our friend was still there and could have easily grabbed it and returned it to us. I like the hotel but not as much as the other ones we encountered that feel more welcoming and homey.
Jorge the manager at the front desk spoke with me and rectified the problem. He showed empathy, did give some comps that was not necessary but much appreciated. He also listened to my suggestions on improving the front staff check in process and I believe he will actually make the changes.
Anyway, our check in was bad but it was made right and everything else was amazing. He even made sure the restaurant knew we were special guest and had a surprise for my wife. I am now very happy.
The front desk is awful. Incredibly slow.
It took me from 35 minutes to check by 2:05pm. They said the room wasn’t ready until after 3pm.
I am Titanium elite and that line took me from 3:10 to 4:05 waiting (55 more minutes)in line to see if my room was ready. The manager was checking someone in and just took a cell phone call and disappeared, then sent someone 15 minutes later. To say to wait for another open computer. That computer was locked up by manager but she still on her cell phone.
Everyone didn’t know how to use computers and they were just incompetent this is my first time to ever complain on a review but it was awful. I booked a suite and I’m paying good money, have stayed over 800 nights with Marriott and the Marriott Courtyard has better service.
They just can’t handle the influx of people and I had to kick out the staff that was just hanging out in my room when I got up here. There was two maintenance guys that were done with their work.
Also, the front staff said they would call me when it was ready, they never did. Everyone downstairs was just as angry in the lines, it was ridiculous.
We flew 10 hours to get here and vacation is starting off bad. Why bad these high prices at a place like the W to receive such poor front desk service
I attached a picture that was about 4:10, the line was double this size an hour ago. It takes them 15 minutes to check in one person and the Elite line take even longer than regular both times!
Endless waiting times.
Even for the most trivial things we waited a minimum of 15 minutes.
The peak was after calling the reception desk four times and waiting 45 minutes for some towels....
The quality is not high. I am Italian and I am used to a certain level of service and quality.
This hotel is 5 stars only because it has a spa and a gym.
Service is 3 stars poor and it eats very badly.
It was disastrous from the moment we checked in till the last day.
Ongoing failures we were hungry when we checked in wanted to eat. First encounter was an argumentative concierge who back paddled and denied she told us we didn’t need reservation to dine at either of their restaurants on the ground floor when she was questioned by a supervisor she outright lied. We had to go thru an ordeal to eat. Couldn’t enjoy our meal.
The next day after a walk in the city got back to the hotel. Two guards stopped us aggressively, Wouldn’t let us enter the hotel unless we showed them our room keys. Very unwelcoming.
The most disappointing episode. My kids from the U.S. had arranged for Mother’s Day flowers and fruit to be delivered to my room to surprise me.
I was out for lunch. They had delivered but housekeeping took it back before I saw within 2 hrs. I was very upset and Asked to speak to the manager about it. Front desk said they will look into it first, verify the story, and then manager will contact us. Housekeeper who cleaned the room came to my door and said she thought it was 3 days old so took it away. No acknowledgement, apologies , or a phone call from anybody. I just can’t believe no hospitality, the worst management, not a relaxing atmosphere.
I will never stay at a W Hotel again!
