This is a new accommodations option for visitors to Jakarta. True to the Marriott brand, it's quite a good choice to stay in.
Being less than a year old, you must tell the cab driver that you want to get to Plaza Sudirman, or will end up driving round and round and possibly land yourself at JW Marriott hotel, a rather grand and mighty hotel just a couple of kms away.
However, Jakarta traffic being as it is, you would not want to be a couple of kms away from your actual destination.
After much distress, my hostess and her driver finally found the place, and I checked myself into the apartment building. The lobby was located away from the Plaza Sudirman, so you must tell the driver to drive to the back of the building when you spot Plaza Sudirman.
Marriott Mayflower is made up of 8 floors of 96 apartments at the upper floors of this 38 storey high building. I understand the Marriott bought up only 8 floors, but not the last 3 or 5 storeys of the building. Nevertheless, you'll still get pretty spectacular view of the city, if you like city views.
The apartment has a washing machine with built in dryer, a pantry area, you very own purified water cooler so no need to buy mineral water.
Broadband internet is complimentary.
Verdict - I'm glad the major hotels are all booked up. If not, I wouldn't have discovered this great find! Stay here for the sheet elegance of having a bachelorette pad away from home.
