Miri Marriott Resort & Spa

Marriott Miri has always been an iconic hotel here in this oil town. It has surely shown its age - especially at the facade. The rooms were previously refurbished but maintenance should be next put in place. The pipes were leaking both bidet and and sink - despite the complains, nothing has been done. We had a wet-floored sink area all throughout our stay. The air conditioner in the room was pretty moody as well, dancing to the tune of hot and cold by Katy Perry all night long. The television was no different. For a Marriott standard, they are way far off. But the service crew were their only saving grace. The bellboys were warm in welcoming guests and the cleaners were very thoughtful to greet too. The restaurant staff however, will need a refresher course in service. The coffee machine during breakfast buffet was cranky and old - working when it feels like it. All in all, the stay was not the most pleasant but the warmth of some of the service crew helped to pacify it. Tip: the Lush Bar has awesome Happy Hours! If you are a wine enthusiast like me, they have a free flow wine buffet for RM80++ with a complimentary cheese platter - absolutely worth it!
