JW Marriott Hotels are highly recommended according to guest survey results

The JW Marriott Dubai was one of the properties worldwide that took part in this survey, which took part at the beginning of the year.

Results also revealed that 80 percent are repeat customers and roughly 90 percent carry a cell phone, with Nokia as the brand of choice.

Additionally, JW Marriott customers named the fitness center as the number one amenity, while more than half ranked staff and service first when asked to identify the top three reasons for selecting a hotel. Location and amenities were named second and third, respectively.

Survey highlights also identified the executive lounge, lobby bar and business center as frequently used amenities. Samsonite luggage and Seiko and Rolex watches were among the preferred brands, and customers ranked Dell number one, followed by IBM then Compaq, as their favorite computer brands. In the pen category, guests said the hotel's pen or any pen nearby would do.

Guests in JW Marriott hotels around the world rated the services, staff and amenities during their stay. Results were tallied in six categories and unveiled how customers learn about the hotel; why they select a hotel; likes and dislikes during their stay; whether they travel with kids; how they rank versus luxury competition; and amenities frequently used. Brand preferences among cell phones, computers, watches, pens, automobiles, jewelry and newspapers were also recorded.

The portfolio features 32 award-winning properties in sought-after global locations, including the JW Marriott Dubai.
