This hotel offers competitive rates as its location in the West of the city caters heavily to business travellers. Most tourists would probably find hotels in the center and east of the city to be more convenient.

The hotel offers adequate facilities, including a Bally's Fitness Center connected to the hotel. But, it is yet to install new mattresses, linens and towels and the air-conditioning system seems to have a mind of its own. Food ranges from acceptable to very good.

What sets this hotel apart is the service. Not only do the staff react quickly to your problem but they are great about following up to see that it was done promptly and correctly. This cannot be said of most hotels in Beijing or China, for that matter.

We stayed at the Marriott for 10 days. Our first 3 nights, we were in room 5015 (Make sure you don't get that room). The view is completely obstructed by a glass roof. We asked (nicely) for a change and we got another room 3 days later, on the 15th floor. The rooms are spacious and clean. The personnel was very helpful and always courteous. We were never overcharged (as I had read in some reviews) when we took a taxi directly from the hotel to the center of town vs taking a taxi down the street. Breakfast is very good. It is big buffet with a large variety of food.
The health club, (Bally's) is great ! Nice, view on the city, very large, very clean, good equipement, and it is quiet even during busy hours.
The hotel is a bit far from the center of town. Without traffic, it takes about 30 minutes. Overall a very pleasant stay.

The Marriott West Beijing is a very nice hotel with 60m2 to 90m2 rooms. The suite we stayed in was very comfortable at 80m2, with a good interior design and layout. Very large bathroom. Staff very friendly and at your service 24/7. English language is a bit of a problem if you have any questions other than the weather for the staff. Concierge Diana did not give best advice when requesting information on tour or shows. The hotel is the wrong side of the city if you want the tourist areas and traps. Around the Marriott West Hotel the people of Beijing are living and eating in cheap restaurant. I would recommend this hotel. Simon & Colin Executive Lounge were very nice and professional.

Our party of six had reserved two rooms and was upgraded to a nice two-bedroom suite instead. The room was big, but somewhat dated. The restaraunt was good, although a little expensive for the quality. The service was ok, but not great. The concierge service was not good.

The location is the opposite side of the city from the airport and not near any attractions. Staying near Wangfuijing street would be a better idea for tourists.
