This was my second time staying at JW Marriott, and I must say my experience this time was disappointing compared to my first visit.
Firstly, I had requested a high-floor room, as my previous stay on a higher floor had a different, more spacious layout. However, upon check-in, it was clear that the hotel did not pay attention to my request. I was given a room on the 3rd floor, which was much smaller than what I had previously experienced. Although I initially accepted the room, I was still disappointed by this oversight.
There were several issues that impacted the quality of my stay. After a long drive to Kuala Lumpur, I was hoping to take a much-needed nap. Unfortunately, the soundproofing in the room was poor. I was constantly disturbed by loud bell ringing noises from other rooms, which woke me up several times during my nap. To make matters worse, the noise lasted for several minutes.
Additionally, my doorbell rang unexpectedly, and when I opened the door, I was shocked to find a staff member requesting to enter the room to spray pest control in the bathroom. This was incredibly frustrating, especially after a long drive, and I felt it was completely inconsiderate to disturb my rest for something that could have been scheduled at a more appropriate time.
The poor soundproofing continued to be an issue throughout my stay, as I could hear bell rings and other noises from neighboring rooms.
On top of this, I encountered several technical issues in the room. The Wi-Fi connection for the TV was extremely slow, making it frustrating to use the TV as the programs took forever to load, and often failed with error messages. Moreover, the room phone was not working. I needed to call the receptionist to request a bathrobe, but I couldn’t reach anyone due to the malfunctioning phone.
Considering all these issues, this was, unfortunately, the worst experience I’ve had at JW Marriott. While I had positive memories from my first stay, this time I left feeling disappointed and dissatisfied. I truly hope JW Marriott sees this feedback and takes the necessary steps to fix these issues for future guests.
