We are Marriot Bonvoy loyalists (heritage Starwood) and have stayed at hotels at all price levels around the world. We would rate this AC Marriot 5 stars based on value for the money (or points). While the location is not central, it was on a lovely avenue dotted with restaurants and shops. The hotel is actually adjoined to a nice mall if wanting a quick bite or shop. We were upgraded to a nice suite, but our kids regular room was also quite large, clean and new. The dining/bar/breakfast lounge area was very nice with an awesome breakfast. We appreciated the outdoor terrace which did allow smoking. The only negative was that it is in a business district surrounded by accounting firms, IBM, and the like, so the neighborhood is a bit sterile not charming.
