I stayed here for one night to have a night out in Glasgow. When I booked (on-line) it was a reduced rate which didn’t include breakfast, but when I arrived I was advised it did include breakfast which was a pleasant surprise. Also breakfast was served until 11.00 am, which is great if you are suffering after a heavy night of Glasgow hospitality!! The reception and public area are big bright and airy and you are greeted by helpful friendly staff. We had a room on the 5th floor with a view out over the Clyde and the Kingston Bridge and the motorway. The double glazing ensured absolutely no noise, and as the room was air-conditioned it wasn’t necessary to open it anyway. The room is typical of what you would expect in a large chain, and though not as large as you would get in the USA for example, was perfectly adequate and spotlessly clean with both a bath and shower (in bath). We had a king size bed which was very comfy. Unlike a previous reviewer, I didn’t have any problems with the lifts (elevators) (4 available), one arriving in seconds of calling. Didn’t understand previous reviewers comment about what to do in emergencies if the lift hadn’t been working, given the standard advice the world over “Do not use lifts in emergencies!! - duh!!) The breakfast area is quite big and bright, again with efficient friendly staff. Huge choice of cooked or continental style breakfast and fruit, much better choice than I’ve normally experienced in similar hotels. The waitress was very friendly and even took the time to have a chat and ask how we were enjoying our stay in Glasgow, again, in my own experience; such level of genuine personal attention is rare. The hotel is well located for a night out in the city centre, the west-end or if attending a concert or whatever at the nearby SECC, all a reasonable walk away or a cheap taxi ride (plenty waiting at main entrance). So all in-all I was impressed with the Marriot
I thought it represented good value for money and I wouldn’t hesitate to use it again.

We asked for a room with 2 beds but only one with a king size bed was available but the receptionist assured us the room was HUGE! Well if that was a huge room I would hate to see a small one. We and many other guests had a real problem with the lifts on Saturday morning, around 10am about 6 people waited for over 20 minutes on the 6th floor for a lift but in that time no lift came so we opted to take the stairs, however on reaching the ground floor we couldn't find the way to the public areas and were shown by a member of Marriott staff to go back up to the 1st floor, past the service lift, through hotel laundry area and back passageways eventually coming out beside the lifts on the ground floor.
Apart from the fact that only 1 lift seemed to be working for a 12 floor hotel, we were all really nervous about how we would have got out had there been a fire. Other people were coming out onto the stairs and our human crocodile being led by the chambermaid was about 12 people. I will never stay at this hotel again and I would have no confidence in being able to get out safely in event of an emergency.

When we checked in, we went to our room only to find 3 half naked people in it!

The hotel apologised, and offered us a complimentary drink which was nice, and a new room was allocated within 5 minutes.

We ordered room service, which proved to be ackward. I ordered a Chinese dish off the 24hr menu (it was 12.15am) and it took 3 people to call our room back to ask what I was wanting- unfortunately the first 2 did not speak good english. Eventually, i was told my dish was not available, so I ordered a curry instead. The food was of a decent standard.

The room itself was very clean, although the bathroom grouting needed to be redone, and the floor could have been cleaner.

For a 4 star hotel, I feel some areas need improving, but generally not too bad.

As noted by others this is an excellent place to stay. The room was not the largest but absolutely fine, clean, and everything I would have expected from Marriott. The breakfast was excellent even including a chance to taste traditional Scottish haggish. The location of the hotel (Argyle St.) is only a few minutes walk from the main shopping and central railway station In Glasgow. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again and recommend this hotel without any hesitation.

I've stayed at this hotel twice and both times the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. The restaurant was good. I don't remember what the bed was like the first time I visited 2 years ago but this time (March 2006) I noticed the bed was very comfortable, w/ big fluffy pillows and down comforter, and firm mattress. I'd definitely stay here again.
