Frommer's Review

This hotel is tucked inside the New World Centre shopping complex, which contains more than 50 shops and boutiques. Modern in both decor and technology, the Marriott affiliate nevertheless suggests an Asian atmosphere with its large flower arrangements and sleek black furniture, but I find the windowless lobby slightly claustrophobic. Furthermore, despite its prime location right on the waterfront near the InterContinental, oddly enough, only one restaurant provides harbor views, and none of its rooms face the water. Rather, all rooms face Salisbury Road or the pool (which is quieter). Otherwise, the small rooms are comfortable enough, with modern Asian decor and all the usual amenities, but those on the club level are like a different hotel altogether, with larger windows, smart-looking decor, and more amenities, including DVD players and ironing boards.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; lounge; outdoor heated pool; exercise room (24 hr.); business center (24 hr.); shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; executive-level rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
