Outside Marriott SkyCity in Hong Kong
Nothing to see here. Drive through please.

The Room: I’m not normally one to nitpick about normal wear and tear, but my room at the Marriott SkyCity had reached just the other side of “normal”. Stains all over the obviously aged black lacquer furniture, rips in the faux-velvety blue loveseat (which only crowded the rather small room anyway) and worn linens were points off for this otherwise pretty average hotel room.

The beds are comfortable enough for western travelers looking for a softer sleep but still pretty firm. Check to be sure your linens are clean. By that I don’t mean “grab the black light”, but give them a once over. It appeared that the staff might have skipped at least one of the two in our room. It’s okay, You can say it. “Ewww”.

Service: The front desk was nice enough to take my word for it that I was a AAA member. I had forgotten that I used my membership for a lower rate and wasn’t about to fly back to NYC for the card. Room service was fast and friendly too. Cleaning crew seemed to be the only ones hiding on this visit.

Overall: It’s too close to the airport to NOT stay here if I’m in late or out early from HKG. Hotel service is great, shuttle to/from the airport is free and the restaurant’s breakfast buffet served up tasty and filling western and Asian choices. Cleanliness of the room and excessive wear and tear were my complaints this time.
