“A hit amd miss Marriott”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

On the down side - the room had a double bed and not a great deal of room to manoevre, the restaurant reminded me a little of a cafeteria and at the sides, where we were all placed for Dinner on the Friday evening, the tables were too close together, so no chance of a private conversation. For the breakfast on the Saturday morning we were given a table in the centre area but on Sunday morning, back to the sides and bottoms practically in your face as people squeezed past to their seats - not pleasant first thing in the morning. Breakfast itself, was only adequate - I requested poached eggs and on both occasions, they were delivered on a cold plate so that by the time I had gone to the buffet for my bacon, the meal was barely luke warm.
On the up side, the Dinner menu was excellent and the food in the bar, most enjoyable. The bar itself is a large and comfortable area.
What saves this hotel are the staff who universally were all wonderful. The receptionist with long red hair when we checked in was SO welcoming, the restaurant Manager and his staff (especially the young University Student who served us on Friday night) looked after us brilliantly, the Dutch Bar Manager was just a credit to the establishment and the Spanish receptionist on our Check out, brilliant.
We would certainly return and it is down to the staff.

“Very nice stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

We stayed here for 5 nights whilst on business and found the hotel to be excellent. The location was good and the hotel was able to organise an airport taxi pick-up service. The staff were friendly and we would definitely stay again.

“Real nice hotel in a great location in Glasgow”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Real nice hotel in Glasgow. Took the train in from Edinburgh and was not quite sure of the location so took a taxi from the Queen Street Station. Next time I would probably just walk as I think it would be only about 15 minutes from the station. Upon entering the hotel the lobby was very welcoming and the lady that checked us in was very friendly and gave us a map of the city and showed us where we could go in the city via walking. The room was a very nice size and the bed at the Marriott as usual was very comfortable. We went out for a walk and in 5 minutes we were at The Sir John Moore a Wetherspoons pub. What a deal, a nice dinner that included a pint of a real nice ale for just 7.99 pounds. We then walked around the city including Buchanaan Street which is a very lively area and a great place to sit and have a pint and just let the world go by and do some people watching. Just stayed the one night at the hotel because had to catch a flight back to the USA in the morning but will surely stay here when I return to Glasgow, which I can't wait to do. The taxi from the hotel to the international airport is 22 pounds.

“Location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Just stayed at the Glasgow Marriott and I must say that I was impressed with the hotel. I found the lobby to be very welcoming and the staff most friendly. I thought the flowers in the planters were beautiful.....very tropical for Scotland:) The room was clean and the bed very comfy. The ac/heat worked great and we didn't hear a peep from any other room. The location to Buchanan Street was a 5-10 minute walk. GREAT shopping area for pedestrians only. Nice upscale mall called "Princess Mall"....Not sure if that is the correct name but the shops and restaurants were not your typical mall type of stores and a must see. Everything that we needed on this particular trip was very close proximity to the Marriott. On our last night there, the staff had a "Meet and Greet" for the guest and it was very personal and a nice touch to meet everyone. The chef even made Sticky Toffee Pudding on request for my husband..... A MUST when in Scotland. I have nothing but positive remarks for this Marriott and think they do a fabulous job from the moment you walk through the doors.

“Nice hotel but some concerns!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Spent Fri/Sat night in the Marriot with family including a 12 and 9 year old. Friendly staff and large well kitted out room, 2 king sized beds, large flat screen etc, all clean and in good condition. Only ate in hotel at breakfast which was excellent, great choice of everything with fried fare all high quality. Did pity the poor souls who were queueing all the way around to the lift to get a table but this was a result of turning up at 10.45am for a breakfast that ends at 11am!
Nice bar/seating area with what seemed to be a good selection of snacks, if a little over priced (£5 for a bacon roll?). Location perfect for central Glasgow and parking at hotel £8/day is reasonable.
This takes me to my negatives. In-room media includes all your normal free view and then a chargeable film section. Leaving the speciality section aside, all the family films are charged at £7.50 which for Johnny English reborn was acceptable, as it's still in the cinema, but Back to the Future and all the other bargain bin DVDs on offer seemed a bit of a rip off. And speaking of taking advantage £15 for a days wifi, or I think £6 per hour, is completely over the top as many other quality family hotels provide this free.
Now for the swimming pool/leisure centre. Saying its part of the hotel is strictly true but being on the 5th floor this involved taking the lift down to the 1st floor then walking down another 2 flights just to climb up what I think was 4 flights. It certainly promotes fitness as the act of getting to the pool burnt off the fried breakfast.
There it is. I got a good deal £85/night for us all B&B and even managed to use some Tesco vouchers. I'd definitely use again as my gripes can be avoided and probably will.
As for Glasgow as a city I'm biased being born there (haven't lived there in 35 years) but it has a real buzz lacking in other Scottish cities and in the absence of the pretentiousness!

Room Tip: I'd say the higher the better and facing East over the river.
