Marriott Hotels – Teen Hotel Reviews

Marriott’s full-service flagship hotels are all about consistency: the signature scent, comfy rooms, and those M Club or Concierge Lounges that make a big difference for Bonvoy members. From brand-new builds to classic favorites, these are my teen-friendly takes on Marriott Hotels I’ve stayed in so far.

Toronto Airport Marriott Hotel – Toronto, Ontario

Canada’s first-ever Marriott hotel (opened in 1986) is still evolving — and the recent renovations show it. With a bright atrium-style pool, one of the strongest M Club Lounge experiences I’ve had, easy HDMI gaming setup, and unbeatable proximity to Toronto Pearson Airport, this is more than just a layover hotel. Wi-Fi wasn’t leaderboard-fast, but overall this iconic airport Marriott balances comfort, convenience, and history really well.

Buffalo Marriott at LECOM HARBORCENTER – Buffalo, New York

This full-service Marriott stands out for its unbeatable waterfront location and fast Wi-Fi that ranks in the Top 5 on my leaderboard. Instead of a pool, you get two NHL-regulation ice rinks, easy access to Canalside, and a solid M Club Lounge — making it a unique, teen-friendly pick for events, hockey weekends, and city getaways.

Buffalo Marriott Niagara – Amherst, New York

Recently renovated and much improved, this Buffalo-area Marriott delivers clean, modern rooms, strong Wi-Fi, and an easy gaming setup with USB-C and HDMI access. The standout upgrade is the brand-new M Club lounge with legit hot food and a comfortable layout, plus a seriously impressive gym and tons of nearby shopping and dining.

Pittsburgh Marriott City Center – Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A downtown location right next to PPG Paints Arena sounds great, but this hotel is showing its age. The Deluxe Double Room had worn-out mattresses and dated design, Wi-Fi ranked near the bottom of my leaderboard, and the gym felt hot and musty. The highlights were friendly staff, good food at Steelhead and the lounge, plus city views—but overall, not This Teen Travelz approved.

Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley – Raleigh, North Carolina

This wasn’t even in the plan, but it turned into a surprise win. Clean rooms, strong Wi-Fi, a seasonal pool, and one of the best Concierge Lounges I’ve been in. The location across from Crabtree Valley Mall makes it extra convenient.

Kingston Marriott – Kingston, Ontario

Brand-new (opened late 2024) and one of my top teen picks. Elite Wi-Fi and gaming setup with USB-C and HDMI ready to go, allergy-friendly floors, and the best M Club Lounge I’ve ever visited. Bonus: it’s right downtown, close to shops, food, and the waterfront.

Charlotte Marriott SouthPark – Charlotte, North Carolina

Great location for shopping and food with SouthPark Mall steps away. Wi-Fi was fast, rooms were clean, but console hookup was a no-go thanks to wall-mounted TVs. M Club Lounge was small but a nice perk for snacks.

Auburn Hills Marriott Pontiac – Pontiac, Michigan

A personal favorite from years of family stays. Wi-Fi works great, suites allow for easy gaming, and the member lounge snacks (gummy bears!) always hit. Breakfast has slipped compared to pre-COVID days, and summer A/C could be stronger, but the location near Great Lakes Crossing and Somerset Collection keeps it in rotation.

Marriott’s flagship hotels are reliable but still have their surprises—sometimes amazing lounges, sometimes console struggles, but always a familiar vibe. I’ll keep updating this page as I add more Marriott Hotel reviews.
