"Great stay, could have been more staff available at breakfast as there was a shortage of bread,cups, orange juice, clean tables etc. My key stopped working which meant I couldn't access the accessible entrance and had to walk through Union Square to get back in."

"I really enjoy staying here. On this occasion I arrived close to the spa facilities closing but the lady on reception (an Irish accent) was really helpful and explained that it was ok to go in and she would keep it all open for another 15-20 minutes which was just enough time for me to relax and unwind after a hectic day. I stayed again 2 days later and arrived in plenty of time to really enjoy the facilities this time."

"I spent two nights at residence Marriott and wish I could have stayed longer. I don’t usually write reviews on Hotels.com, but this was one of the best places I’ve stayed. It was exceptionally clean, quiet and well appointed. Staff was excellent and helped me in every way I needed. The breakfast was very tasty as stated in all the other reviews. I highly recommend this place and only wish that I had reason to go to Aberdeen again to stay longer."

"Great room, clean & modern. Lovely breakfast, the omelettes were delicious. Very helpful staff. Only criticism would be that myself and my little boy have dairy allergies, but on our arrival night we were unable to get a hot drink because the bar had no dairy free milk. We would definitely stay here again"
