Read it your way
Located right outside the airport near local shops and banks, the hotel offers a practical base for travelers catching flights. Guests frequently appreciate the obliging staff, reliable bedroom air conditioning, and clean swimming pool area. However, value is a consistent complaint, with visitors frustrated by mandatory resort fees, expensive food and drink surcharges, and errors on dinner bills. 2053

- “The location was EXCEPTIONAL! So many amazing things around . Restaurants & shops and banks to convert ur money but best part is the airport was right around the corner!” 5

- “the location was absolutely perfect, the public spaces were spotlessly clean and the staff was gracious.” 7
Room21 mentions · 3 filmed
- “My favorite four points was the brand new one in Brisbane a few years ago ! Upgraded to a really nice suite and could Not believe I was in a four points .” 14

- “Can't imagine any room has a bad view. They were also quite spacious and modern, and I didn't think they looked too tatty.” 3
- “The bedroom air conditioning and fan worked very well.” 3
- “Chinese Four Points can be decent- loved the one in Suzhou. Had a top floor corner suite that overlooked two lakes, with a proper living room and tub. Was in a business area but close enough to touristy places.” 14

- “Over the next two days, an alarm also went off in the room next door, blaring for at least 40 minutes each time. (The walls are that thin.)” 3
- “The TV mount in the bedroom was lacking.” 3
- “The one thing that I thought was odd that there were only 2 pictures on the walls of the whole suite other than TVs mounted on the walls.” 8
- “Buffet was varied and very good. Our room was upgraded that included a beach view. It was a little dated but fine.” 21
- “As the rest of the hotel, my suite was still a fairly basic. Red was definitely the accent color thru the suite and the entire hotel. The style was minimal, but comfortable.” 8
- “I am a Starwood Gold Preferred Guest from my American Express Platinum, and I probably spend 15 nights a year at Starwood properties, however I was pleased to be given a suite upgrade.” 8

- “Leidy and Mariana at the front desk were exceptionally helpful and professional. However, the gentleman who answered the phone when I called for the shuttle service to pickup me up at the airport needs more training in customer service (unfortunately, I did not get his name.)” 5
- “Definitely better service and amenities than any Four Points I have been to in the USA.” 14
- “I waited over half an hour with absolutely no acknowledgement - not even a glance. Then, someone else walked in after me and they were immediately helped while I continued to be treated like I was invisible. The level of disrespect, incompetence, and complete lack of basic customer service was unbelievable.” 5
- “Staff are appalling and I enjoyed their attitude.” 7
- “And the customer service was great. Like I just I love this property as you can tell.” On camera105:23

- “Overall, we found the front desk service to be underwhelming. Never felt like we had the service offerings properly explained to us. Sometimes when we had questions, it felt dismissive...be it about shuttles (how/when they operate), Ubers, and getting info about restaurants and bars outside of the Puntacana resort complex.” 3
- “Cosy and clean place with pleasant staff.” 7
- “Four Points Auckland opened a few months ago, and is Marriott's first foray into New Zealand It's not bad at all with a good location, full service restaurant and a rooftop bar. Some of the rooms even have very nice bathtubs!” 14

Value6 mentions
- “Not terribly shocking as it's a resort after all - but food and drinks are quite overpriced here for what you get.” 3
- “The channels were also lacking...many would just never load and at one point we even had a warning from Direct TV pop-up saying the bill hadn't been paid.” 3
- “Not terribly shocking as it's a resort after all - but food and drinks are quite overpriced here for what you get. A bottle of Stella is $8 - but once you add in the 18% local tax and 10% service charge - you're now closer to $11.” 3
- “great location! the employees are great! but, this hotel does NOT deserve the money they charge.” 5
- “I stayed on points, but Marriott still charged $40 resort fee which I feel is too high.” 21
- “Only negative thing I would say is that the breakfast is really overpriced for the food . It wasn't good at all.” 5

- “The hotel had a spa, a great restaurant, and exceptional service.” 14
- “The 4pts in Edmundston NB is the only decent hotel in town and I spent two weeks there earlier this year. There's very little to do in this town especially in the winter. The hotel was OK and had a decent full-service restaurant.” 14
- “Again, not shocking...but just know before you order. We had an error on our dinner bill that we only noticed after the fact. We were overcharged for an entrée that was listed for cheaper on the dinner menu we were given.” 3
- “@MI Completely agree on Four Points Arusha. I stayed last month (they actually migrated SPG to Marriott systems during stay) and was upgraded to a nice room in the separate building, and the restaurant was quite good.” 14

- “yes the rooms could definitely use a refresh. food was easily above average, in my opinion.” 21

- “The stuff were obliging, the bed was lovely and the food was delicious!” 7
- “I stayed at this Four Points at JKIA Nairobi last June when I went on Safari with my son. As SPG Gold I got an immediate upgrade to a Suite. We had a great time, breakfast had a bevy of choices, dinner on the roof top overlooking the airport one side and the Nairobi National Park on the other.” 14
- “l liked them both for different reasons, but I think I would pick the Westin. We loved the beach and the food is very good.” 21

- “Rooms were very well equipped and the top level pool was fantastic with a view over the bay. Food was also excellent.” 14
- “Excellant service, awesome restaurant on site.” 7
Bathroom3 mentions
- “I liked the spacious bathroom with double sink, and there was a shower/tub combination.” 8
- “I liked compact room with a fine bathroom.” 7
