Stayed here over a month in July. Was a wonderful place to explore Aberdeen, Deeside and Speyside. The hotel is situated in central Aberdeen just off Union street. It’s s new property in a pedestrian area with a parking area below. Unfortunately the parking area is a) hard to get to (mapping software such as Google maps cannot find it) and b) not directly linked to the hotel ( staff can access the area outside the parking garage if access elevator access is required - just buzz the hotel and ask). Not sure at all why it was designed this way as it’s a simple change of doors to allow customer access to the hotel with a key card, and still allow staff access to their restricted areas. Customer service at the hotel was excellent in all areas: front-desk, bar staff, restaurant and housekeeping - impressive. Room was comfortable if a little compact compared to some Residence Inns. The room lacked a few cooking dishes/ items. None appeared to be available on-request. Breakfast was great with an extensive selection plus additional items available to order. Cooking is easy as easy to prepare meals & groceries are very easy to stock as there is a Marks& Spencer food hall less than 100 yards/meters away.

The hotel is well located but we had difficulty finding it as there isn't much signage. We should have looked at the very top of the tall building to see the Marriott logo! Parking at the hotel is limited, so I rang them before arriving in the UK and they advised that we should park at the Bon Accord shopping centre and they would validate our token so that we would get a discount. I think that we paid 10 pounds per night which is the discounted rate. The room are very clean and pleasant. Breakfast (free) also was very good. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as museums and other places of interest within a walking distance. The added bonus was the availability of laundry facilities with free detergent etc at the hotel 24 hours a day. We took advantage of the service. We paid 255 pounds for two nights which we though was reasonable. Overall, a good experience. This hotel gets 4.5 stars from me and I recommend it.
