JW Marriott Hotel, Caracas

Disadvantages: Get booked up quickly!!

...Marriott Hotels and Resorts Marriott Hotels and Resorts is an American based company that offers hotels throughout the world mainly through a franchise agreement. I have stayed in many Marriott’s throughout the UK, Europe and also in the USA and have always found them to be a good standard of hotel providing excellent facilities, accommodation and courteous staff. There are different types and standards of Marriott hotel including Marriott marquis which are the crème de la crème of the chain as well as the cheaper and more cost effective Marriott Courtyard brand in addition to the Renaissance brand and Marriott time share opportunities.

Advantages: Beautiful building and surroundings, great facilities
Disadvantages: Service was a mirage, outside the city

...The JW Marriott, Mirage City, Cairo is something more than a mirage. As we approached, two giant sandstone pillars loom to one side, replicas of ancient Egyptian construction, and I thought, "this could either be very tacky or very impressive".

Also, "Mendelssohns Restaurant " is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast here was very nice, and the staff were very helpful.

There is, of course, a full room service menu (I can rarely resist a "Marriott Burger") that is quickly delivered, with a smile and £2.50 "tray charge". There's wifi in the public areas & rooms, so I could check my email (and Ciao, of course) This is a nice, and increasingly frequent service in lots of hotels and I like... Read review
