The room was clean, shower was nice with good pressure.. We had a city view which was neat to see the pool was clean and not overly used. We had the continental breakfast, which had fresh fruit and cold cuts with cheese and tomatoes, cuts, cheese, coffee and juice. Easy walk to rhythm of the night and a couple other restaurants within walking distance. Thank you so much.

The first day the floor wasn't clean. A lot of hair was on the floor. Maybe they hadn't much time to clean. From the second day on it was good. The staff at Marriott was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was plenty and good. The pool was clean. Sometimes at night it was a bit noisy with the Mexican people. The air-conditioning worked well. For longtime stay I would prefer a coffeemaker.

I booked because this hotel show in the web page shuttle service included. Once at the airport I was told by telephone there was service only on a 10 km radius and they won't be able to pick me up. I took an Uber and noticed the ride was only 4 km. When I asked the front desk about it, the lady seemed upset, then she told me the hotel doesn't have pick up service, only drop off, and that would be over the pedestrian bridge outside of the airport because they don't have authorization to get into the airport. On my way back the driver also seemed upset because he had to drop me back to the airport. The room was neat and clean, it's a shame the service was so bad and their advertisement misleading.
