The Staff at the City Express are second to none!! I ran into a situation where I needed help and the staff and management of this resort looked after me like it was their responsibility to ensure I was safe and as comfortable as possible, despite the circumstances I found myself in, no money, no passport, no shoes!!!
You will always be treated to great hospitality with all your needs taken care of if you stay at this resort.
If you are looking to go to PV for a holiday or any other reason, I highly recommend staying at this hotel resort!!!
I have stayed at the city express plus Marriott in Puerto Vallarta many times and I’m always happy with the service. The hotel is centrally, located to shopping centers and bus lines taxis, and restaurants. Highly recommend it.
The staff was great. The breakfast was good for this type of hotel.
In the room, there was not Little refrigerator, so for the water it was tough. Because in Puerto Vallarta you need to buy bottle of water. This was not convenient.

The hotel is conveniently located with the staff who care about you and your stay.
The room was clean, shower was nice with good pressure.. We had a city view which was neat to see the pool was clean and not overly used. We had the continental breakfast, which had fresh fruit and cold cuts with cheese and tomatoes, cuts, cheese, coffee and juice. Easy walk to rhythm of the night and a couple other restaurants within walking distance. Thank you so much.
Room was clean ,but small and no coffee maker. The mattress was quite uncomfortable. The staff were very kind and very helpful.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The room view was great! The breakfast was also plentiful. The front desk service was excellent. The only downside was that they didn't change the sheets from the previous guests. I booked three rooms, and two of the beds had sand and wrinkles, and also smelled bad! Very disappointing, especially considering the price wasn't cheap!
Property is close to shopping & the airport. Staff is very helpful. Continental breakfast has more than enough selections. They even gave us a bag lunch to bring to the airport.
Easy location by the waterfront. Clean, helpful staff. Pool was cold and in the shade so we couldn’t enjoy it how we thought we would.

Room service was okay but sometimes no towels or shampoo. Not always clean. Elevators small and slow. Keys did not work very well. Room small. No drawers or fridge. No place to hang clothes.
The first day the floor wasn't clean. A lot of hair was on the floor. Maybe they hadn't much time to clean. From the second day on it was good. The staff at Marriott was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was plenty and good. The pool was clean. Sometimes at night it was a bit noisy with the Mexican people. The air-conditioning worked well. For longtime stay I would prefer a coffeemaker.
I booked because this hotel show in the web page shuttle service included. Once at the airport I was told by telephone there was service only on a 10 km radius and they won't be able to pick me up. I took an Uber and noticed the ride was only 4 km.
When I asked the front desk about it, the lady seemed upset, then she told me the hotel doesn't have pick up service, only drop off, and that would be over the pedestrian bridge outside of the airport because they don't have authorization to get into the airport.
On my way back the driver also seemed upset because he had to drop me back to the airport.
The room was neat and clean, it's a shame the service was so bad and their advertisement misleading.

This is a good stay for 1-2 night, but not for vacation. Very small room, no fridge, no coffee maker or even a kettle. Breakfast is served from 6:00 till 9:00. For sure at 8:30!there is a crowd of people. Nobody wants to have a breakfast at 6:00 am on vacation. So from 8:30 there is a collapse in the restaurant, no tables available, 2 times I was waiting for sandwiches for more than 15 minutes. Plates, bowls, glasses, cups are located under counters with food, so you can’t take them as people are selecting food. Omelet or eggs are not included into free breakfast. You have to buy it for 272 pesos. Nobody in the hotel speaks English. Nobody responds when you call reception. One elevator didn’t work for 4 days. I was trying to tell reception about that… but I don’t speak Spanish. Pluses: good location - close to the beach, cruise port, Walmart and Gallery mall. Cleaning service is good. I ordered twice food from the hotel’s restaurant. It’s really good and the price is reasonable. Sorry for so negative feedback, but I guess you need to delete by Marriott from the hotel’s name then guests’ expectations won’t be too high.
