8/10 Good
"Hotel was nice enough, advertising photos did make it look a bit like there was a balcony on the room. It was clean and we were able to check in even after arriving later than check in times. Worth noting there isn’t accessibility so no lift and stairs to rooms"

"We were there only two nights but did so to hang out on the beach. It was a longer walk to and from the beach than we expected but it was worth it. We rented a cabana right next to the water all day. Service was good at the beach and in room service. We did not visit the other F&B outlets. Thanks!"

AC Hotel by Marriott Split

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay at the AC Marriott Split. The hotel is modern, clean, and located in the impressive Dalmatia Tower, which, according to the staff at check-in, is the tallest building in Croatia. The location is very convenient, about a 12-minute drive from Split Old Town or less than a 30-minute walk. It’s also a great base if you’re planning to explore areas outside of Split, as getting in and out of the city is relatively easy. The hotel also has indoor parking, which was a big plus for us. They also have an indoor pool but be aware that it is not accessible for kids under 16 years old. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay, especially if you have a car and plan on exploring beyond Split."

The property is nice and good value for what it is. Staff are helpful but the property had an iron but no ironing board, gym is a bit worn down but decent for a hotel gym and the roof pool is nice and roof deck is nice."
