Rooms were very small and for a booking of 4 only 2 mini bottles of water was left out. Beds were small and i had to pay for parking even though i was a guest.

AC Hotel by Marriott Kingston, Jamaica
The room was very comfortable and clean. Shame they only give one coffee capsule for two people though! Food was very average and the whole hotel lacks warmth and character.
