Stay there in Feb. 2007. My stay was ok, get a twin bed despite the fact the hotel was empty and I asked for a double bed ! At least it was kind of twin queen.
The location of the hotel is up to the hill so you need some transport to go down and up to the site. I guess the hotel has some shuttle bus a fixed time of the day.
Price was moreless ok, I paid about 55 JOD ++ which makes it approx 66 JOD or 95 USD but if you want to use the spa, you need to add some extra money, smth like 15 JOD.
The restaurant is not really good for dinner and the breakfast is ok but nothing special for a Marriott.
The pool is not that big !
Next time, I would stay in Movenpick !

Unique Qualities: Location if you have your own wheels.
Price if you compare to Movenpick.

Comparison: more expensive than average
Price: US$80-120
Theme: Hotel

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
