The AC Mariott was exceptionally clean, the facility was well kept and the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent providing a wide range of food items to choose from. We had dinner one night at the hotel, and the food was excellent. The only drawback was finding the hotel, missed the road a couple of times. Also offering a shuttle to the V&A waterfront more frequently would be helpful.
