Marriott Marquis Dubai Creek

On August 3rd, at noon, ARYAN's handling of my entire check-in process was truly textbook material for customer service training for five-star hotel lobby staff. The baggage handler that day was also excellent; truly one of the few hotel service personnel who guests remember and genuinely appreciate from the bottom of their hearts. After landing that day, out of curiosity, I decided to be adventurous and experience something unique. I had two suitcases weighing a total of 40 kg and an 11-year-old child, and I wanted him to feel what Dubai's high temperatures were really like. So, I decided to walk from the nearby metro station to the hotel at midday. The map showed a mere 400 meters, just across an intersection, but Dubai's supposed 46°C felt like 55 to 60°C. Although I was constantly sweating, the heat simply wouldn't dissipate. I can honestly say that another 100 meters would have led to heatstroke symptoms, as I was already feeling a bit dizzy by the time I reached the hotel, even though I was still chatting and laughing with ARYAN. Since it wasn't check-in time yet, ARYAN politely arranged for us to wait and offered ice water and iced coffee to help cool us down. I can't exaggerate when I say that if it weren't for the timely ice water, I truly risked fainting. **Hotel Environment:** Located next to a golf course, with a river flowing in the foreground, providing a great backdrop for the Burj Khalifa Tower. The surroundings are quiet. **Breakfast:** Extremely rich and varied, with fresh ingredients. It's safe to say that in expensive Dubai, missing breakfast here is like losing 500 RMB / 275 AED. **Housekeeping:** Every day, they made the bed, tidied clothes, and refilled drinking water. In summary, this Marriott can be considered a benchmark and a model for other hotels to learn from. I'll be back to visit again in December~ I surrender to summer in Dubai! **Metro:** Getting from Airport Terminal 3 to City Centre Deira Metro Station 2 is very convenient. Uber or Careem to Dubai Mall costs approximately 50 to 65 AED, and returning is about 45 AED. To the airport is roughly 35 to 40 AED. The hotel also offers dedicated car services at similar prices.

Overall, the room was quite comfortable with a nice view of the canal. The location is convenient, close to the subway, and directly across from Deira City Centre, making dining and shopping easy. It's also great for meeting clients as you can just grab a coffee in the lobby for a convenient chat.

Excellent service and a good location. The breakfasts were very good.
