"Not a good start as the room first assigned to me the curtains drop. Fortunately I was given another room. Though the 2nd room provided was much better, the furniture are tearing apart like the leather work chair, coffee machine wasn’t clean as I had to depose of old capsules still in the unit. JW Marriott I am pretty sure you can do better. The other thing pillows are flat and uncomfortable."
