Marriott Stays in Foshan

Staying at the Marriott Foshan, right in the heart of Qiandeng Lake, is truly a top-tier luxury experience! The front desk staff upgraded my room to one with a balcony. The location, view, and service are all exceptional. I fell in love with it after just one stay. Opening the door, I was immediately amazed by the floor-to-ceiling windows and the balcony overlooking Qiandeng Lake. During the day, the lake view is stunning, and in the evening, when the lights come on, the night view is breathtaking. The warm lighting creates a wonderful ambiance, and the bedding is so soft, like sinking into clouds – I fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed. The marble bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, a huge bathtub, and high-end amenities. All the facilities at this five-star hotel are comprehensive, so no need to pack a ton of luggage for business trips. Don't miss the panoramic glass dome pool on the 5th floor, and the fully equipped gym + yoga room!

👍 Pros: As expected from an international brand hotel, it's definitely worth the extra 200 yuan compared to nearby hotels. The service is exceptional; as soon as we arrived, staff helped with our luggage to the front desk, and at checkout, they proactively assisted in loading our bags into the taxi. The front desk staff were professional and managed to attend to every guest despite being busy. I was also lucky enough to get upgraded to a lake view room on my first stay. Based on these excellent services alone, I will definitely choose this hotel again next time. Although the hotel facilities show signs of age and some fading, the cleanliness is a world apart from hotels in Shenzhen costing 500-600 yuan. This level of quality would easily cost over a thousand yuan per night abroad. 👉 Areas for Improvement (Dining): The breakfast offers a wide variety and looks appealing, but the taste could be improved; it felt a bit wasteful. Also, the restaurant is clearly understaffed, with the congee station often unattended. The chefs' attitude was also rather mediocre. 👎 Major Deductions (Pool): The worst part of the entire hotel is the swimming pool! I suspect the hotel outsourced it to other coaches for swimming lessons, likely to generate revenue. They require swim caps but don't provide them to guests. The pool only has three lanes, and one is given over to the training class, with extra students even encroaching on the remaining two. The pool lighting is very dim, and for a hotel of this caliber, there's no staff or attendant at the pool entrance. As a guest, I felt like I was being treated poorly, having to make way for the swimming students. It's important to remember that a major reason I chose your hotel was for the pool, and the experience was utterly disappointing!
