4/5 Nong P. 2 years ago on Google
I
stayed
at
JW
Marriott
Mexico
City
during
a
mattress
run
in
CDMX,
in
part
because
they
were
one
of
the
hotels
which
offered
PCR
covid
testing
from
the
hotel
itself,
unlike
St.Regis
which
required
me
to
go
to
an
external
clinic.
So
I
booked
a
stay
at
JWM
at
the
end
of
my
trip
for
the
convenience.
My
stay
ended
up
being
ok
but
not
great;
unlike
other
hotels
they
closed
the
executive
lounge
and
I
received
a
suite
upgrade
which
I
appreciated
but
it
was
merely
a
corner
room
with
moderately
aging
hardware.
A
couple
of
days
before
my
stay
the
hotel
informed
me
that
they
did
not
have
many
suites
available
because
some
were
being
renovated,
but
that
they
would
put
one
suite
aside
for
me
ahead
of
time
for
my
Marriott
Ambassador
Elite
upgrade.
It
was
a
nice
gesture
and
it’s
clear
that
for
Bonvoy
elites
they
go
out
of
their
way
to
ensure
guests
will
get
an
upgrade.
The
problem
is
that
the
suites
are
not
that
big,
the
junior
suite
is
43
sqm
and
I
received
an
executive
corner
suite
which
is
one
category
above
and
barely
larger
at
45
sqm.
Some
features
were
interesting
for
example
the
floor
to
ceiling
windows
separated
by
a
stone
beam
a
bit
below
waist
height,
and
the
same
could
be
found
in
the
bathroom
which
made
the
room
very
bright.
I
also
had
nice
view
of
Chapultepec
Park
in
front
from
either
the
bedroom
or
the
shower
and
privacy
was
not
a
problem
since
there
was
no
building
in
front.
Other
than
that,
the
room
was
partially
renovated,
the
bathroom
was
nice
and
modern
but
the
bedroom
had
carpet
which
was
not
very
much
to
my
liking
and
some
older
and
brittle
cabinets.
The
executive
lounge
was
closed
and
they
did
not
make
much
of
an
effort
to
offer
a
replacement
unlike
their
competitors.
At
InterContinental
the
lounge
was
open,
at
Hyatt
Regency
it
was
open
for
drinks
only
while
hors
d’oeuvres
were
served
in
the
restaurant
during
happy
hour,
and
at
Sofitel
the
lounge
was
closed
but
similar
to
HR
they
served
happy
hour
in
an
alternative
venue.
Partially
making
up
for
it,
I
can
say
JWM
is
the
hotel
which
provided
the
best
welcome
gift:
some
sweets
and
a
375ml
bottle
of
Tequila.
Breakfast
was
entirely
a
la
carte
with
a
decent
menu.
The
Chilaquiles
dish
I
ordered
was
excellent
and
one
of
the
better
breakfasts
I
had
in
the
city.
There
was
seating
indoors
and
outdoors
and
I
particularly
enjoyed
the
terrace
with
nice
cool
weather
outside.
Overall
JWM
is
not
very
cheap
and
for
that
price
it
had
more
aging
hardware
than
other
hotels
I
stayed
during
my
trip.
I
am
not
sure
I
would
rush
to
come
back
in
the
unrenovated
version
of
the
rooms
and
even
then,
I
suspect
suite
upgrades
will
always
be
barely
more
spacious
than
non-suites
at
other
hotels.
I
would
also
need
to
see
the
lounge
to
have
a
more
complete
opinion
about
this
hotel.
