“Fine but not finest”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

Upon checking in, they will ask for ur credit card although you already prepaid your stay online. The room was good and average for this level of hotel. nothing special or fancy. I found the room a little bit smaller though but it was comfortable enough.
We availed the Buffet breakfast for P800/person ($20US). The choices were phonemenal, the best part is the Filipino bfast and the continental choices. Although I found it expensive, I think it was worth the money for the quality of food they prepare. But I would be better if they add this as a perk to the hotel guests as free bfast with the stay. I paid around $165/night during my stay. This hotel is connected to Ayala Mall, maybe i consider it a part of uprtown. going to downtown via cab/taxi will cost around P180 or $5 one way. Basically, it is the safer part of Cebu where bussiness building around it. The staff's service were average, i dont find them very personable or rude. I would check in this hotel again if they will improve on their staff's services.

Room Tip: If you arrive late from Mactan Airport, be sure to avail the Mariott Limousine service at P700.00 ar...

“great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

We found the Cebu Marriott a comfortable and secure hotel with staff who provide great service. The location is very good - adjacent to the big Ayala shopping mall, and just a short taxi ride to the even bigger SM mall. There are a large number and variety of restaurant and cafes at the Ayala mall you can walk to for dinner at night. The hotel facilties include a nice pool and a well equipped gym. The buffet breakfast is fantastic - you won't need to bother with lunch after the huge breakfast. The room we had with two double beds was small but well appointed and included free wifi. There was a good range of cable stations available on the TV. Our kids loved the pool and we loved the food and the service and the convenient location. We'd be happy to stay there again.

“Worst Marriot in the world!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

Where to start...man, I was so excited to get to Cebu and see that beautiful city! Cebu is awesome, please check it out if you get the chance. We got to the hotel a little later in the evening around 9:00, on a flight from Clark. We had asked for a cot to be set up in the room for our children. The girl at the front desk was very nice and said our room was ready. We got to the room and there was no cot, no big deal. So we called down to the front desk and said they would have someone come and set up right away...an hour later, still no cot, we called back and the girl seemed irritated with us said it would be up right away. Well we didn't get the cot until after 12:00 midnight. We were just happy to get the cor so we could put the kids on there and get some rest. After that the staff seemed very rude to us. My wife got told off for taking pictures by the pool. We stayed there for three nights hoping things would get better, it didn't. The best part about the Hotel is the location, because it is located right next to the Ayala mall, which has an array of great restaurants. Cebu is awesome, stay at a different hotel. We did talk to a manager and we told her about our unpleasant stay. She told us come back and we promise we will do a better Job...haha, her Job was to provide us with a perfect stay the first time. what a joke....

“Great location but room needs renovation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

I have first stayed at the Marriot in 1999 and has stayed four times since then. The hotel has become dated. The rooms are clean but need renovation. The rooms are on the small side. The carpet is worn out in the hallway. The breakfast lacks variety and not presented well.
We however liked the nightly cocktails at the club level. They served some appetizers during the nightly cocktails.
We didn't use the pool because it was too small and crowded.
They charge for internet in the room.

I like the hotel because of its proximity to Ayala Center. This is a good hotel to use if you are Cebu for business. If you are on vacation, it's better to choose one of the resorts in Mactan Island.
