I'm going to preface this review by mentioning that I am a long time Marriott member and have platinum status with them, so my experiences may differ a bit. I checked in at the Marriott Sukhumvit for an anniversary, and boy, they do not disappoint! We stayed in the deluxe suite which was quite nice and modern and had the usual spread of amenities found in the higher floor rooms. As we walked in, we were greeted by two towel swans forming a heart with their necks, a bouquet of roses, and rose petals strewn across the bed in a heart shape and the words anniversary spelled out. I'm used to them pampering their guests a bit, but I did not expect this at all! It completely made my wife's day, and as you know, a happy wife is a happy life! As far as the room goes, if you're a frequent road warrior, you know what to expect in terms of comfort. The pillows and bedding are always great, and the mattress was soft without lumps. I sleep like a baby in Marriott beds usually, so no complaints here other than being too comfortable. We almost missed breakfast! Their executive lounge has a great view of the city and a great place to catch the sunset over drinks and dinner. I'm glad that their executive lounge is open 7 days a week here from 6 am til midnight. Usually, the lounge is only open for the first half of the week at some other Marriott properties. They also have a spa, gym, infinity pool, jacuzzi, and features the octave bar on the roof which is quite a popular bar. It's a great place to come early to and get a table before the sun begins to set. You can then enjoy your drinks as the sun sets with your boo nuzzled up against you! Overall, I have very much enjoyed my stay and will be back soon! The staff are always terrific and go out of their way to meet your needs. Have fun!
