I’ve stayed at a few different JW Marriott properties and out of all of them, this was by far the most disappointing. I’ll credit the property by saying that many of the staff were very good, and although I didn’t eat at the restaurant because of dietary restrictions, my colleagues who did said it was very good. Also, the decor is very nice as one would expect from a property at this level. That being said, there are many areas where this property misses the mark. Fitness center - it’s abysmal. Adequate cardio equipment, paltry free weights and sparse on the weight machines (3 standard single exercise, one multi-purpose). I’ve stayed at Courtyards that have better fitness centers than this one - it’s inexcusable for a property in this class, IMO. No one with any sort of regular weight-training routine will be able to maintain their regimen in this facility. Housekeeping - I never heard a single vacuum cleaner during my entire stay and my rooms were certainly never vacuumed in the 2 weeks that I stayed here. Also, very inconsistent in replacing amenities like laundry bags, breakfast cards and in-room coffee. Location/ Street noise - This one is a bit difficult to fault the property for, but there is a nightclub down the street and from Weds - Sat, the noise level for rooms at the front of the hotel is astounding. I felt the bass line through my pillow into the small hours of the morning. I requested to change rooms the next day and thankfully they were able to accommodate, but be forewarned that street side rooms (odd-numbered) are all going to be subject to this. I had colleagues who were cautioned about this and when they checked in, requested an even-numbered room and reception told them that the nightclub had closed down. This is flat-out not true. Responsiveness - I made two request through the Bonvoy app (one to change rooms and one for the laundry bag and order form to be replaced) and both were met with “one moment and we’ll get right back to you” only to wait hours for a reply, even after follow-up inquiries. I’ve traveled extensively through LATAM and I understand that customer service with a sense of urgency is rare here, but even with my low expectations I was frustrated by how long it took for a simple request. I don’t consider myself high maintenance (although I’m sure no one does) and I don’t often stay at properties this high end, but these are things I would find unacceptable for a standard Marriott, Sheraton or even an Aloft - and you’re certainly paying JW prices to stay here. The decor and most of the staff live up to the JW brand standard. The rest of it, not so much. When I return to Monterrey, I’ll be opting for the Westin. It may be no better, but at least I won’t be paying super-premium prices to be let down.
