The Miri Marriott is an interesting one. It has a great swimming pool- the surrounds of which have recently been refurbished making it quite a bit more pleasant- and also safer for any little ones with you. The rooms are fine- though are coming up for needing refurbishment. The recognition of Marriott status is mixed. The basics are met, in that free breakfast is offered, but unlike in most Asian Marriotts kids are charged for. There is no lounge.....for a time a drinks voucher was given in lieu. That seems to have gone now. (Though its disappearance coincided with me moving from Gold to platinum status.....which has always been a bit concerning.)
If you are coming to Miri, it is the place to stay. Would I recommend you made a special journey to visit? No. However, the new Marriott in Mulu might be worth a visit. I'll post a review as soon as I have managed to get up there. If you do go to Mulu you will probably have to overnight in Miri- and the Marriott is probably your best bet.
