Just this month, my husband went back to Bangkok Thailand. I was checking my blog and seven years na pala ang nakalipas since our last visit. My husband's last visit was in 2018 when they had a team building and stayed at Modena by Fraser Bangkok Hotel. This year their company had a kick-off meeting held at Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok Hotel.
Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok Hotel was the 6th accommodation that my husband has tried in Bangkok. It is a 4-star hotel located in central Bangkok. It is near Skytrain Station, restaurants, and shopping malls like Amarin Plaza, Big C, and Platinum Mall.
This hotel is about 25 kilometers away from Suvarnabhumi Airport. They do not provide shuttle service but they have alternate transportation for THB1,800 per way. Their company arranged their round-trip transportation.
Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok Hotel Room
This hotel offers 314 contemporary guest rooms and 2 suites.
The room is equipped with a working desk, couch, mini fridge, and coffee/tea maker.
The bathroom has no bathtub.
Since this was a company event, my husband just stayed inside the hotel for four days, so they ate breakfast lunch, and dinner at the hotel.
MoMo Cafe
The complimentary buffet breakfast is served at MoMo Cafe. It is an all-day dining restaurant that offers Thai dishes and international cuisines. The restaurant is open from 6:00 AM-11:00 PM. My husband enjoyed his breakfast and according to him, their buffet spread is much better than the other hotels he had tried in Bangkok, with more food choices.
This hotel has a fitness center, outdoor pool, and spa but my husband was not able to visit these amenities.
We usually go to Tagaytay for our Christmas Breakfast but for a change, we had a Christmas Staycation at Clark Marriott Hotel. We only used our Marriott Bonvoy points for our accommodation so breakfast is not included.
Upon check-in, the staff informed us that we could avail of the Breakfast Buffet at PHP1200/per person, kasi kapag sa restaurant PHP2,100 daw ang rate. At that time, I had no idea about their rates but as of this writing, I checked their page and saw their lunch and dinner buffet rate so okay na naman pala yung rate ng breakfast for check-in guests.
Buffet Lunch: ₱3,295
Dinner Buffet: ₱3,595
Goji Kitchen + Bar is an all-day buffet at Clark Marriott Hotel. The buffet restaurant has a live kitchen so you can see how they prepare the dishes. We went to the restaurant around 7AM and I thought mga tulog pa yung mga guest pero marami na pala nagbrebreakfast. Hehehe! I gave our Breakfast Vouchers and the staff assisted us to our table.
I browsed each station and marami rin naman choices like bread, soup, noodles, dim sum, rice meal, salad, fruits etc.
May Filipino Station din.
For drinks, I ordered Hot Chocolate kaso hindi ko type yung chocolate nila. Buti na lang marami pa options like juices and shakes.
Nagserve din ng turon yung staff and masarap ito. Hindi ko lang alam kung saan station oorder kasi wala ako nung binigay sa table, kulang tuloy ng isa. Buti na lang hindi mahilig anak ko sa turon kaya ako kumain. Hehehe!
Same with Wu Xing Chinese Restaurant, okay ang service ng mga staff dito. Nakapagpaslice pa nga kami ng mango. May naexperience kami sa ibang hotel na yung foreigner binigyan ng platter of mango pero nung kami humingi, for display lang daw. Waah!
Anyway, we were done eating in less than an hour so we went back to our room na.
I was busy crafting during ber-months so I forgot to plan for our Christmas Holiday. A week before Christmas, I was planning for our menu, mag-order lang ako ng food since I didn’t want to cook. But I changed my mind because ang mahal din pala ng magagastos ko kung mag-order ako ng food for our family get-together plus our Christmas dinner. Tapos kakain pa kami ng Christmas breakfast somewhere in Tagaytay (our tradition for the past several years).
So I suggested to my husband na magstaycation na lang kami ng Christmas and advance na lang namin yung Christmas Family Get-Together sa bahay. Malakas lang ang loob ko na magstaycation because I knew na free yung accommodation namin care of Marriott Bonvoy Points.
This is our first Christmas Staycation because normally, sa bahay lang talaga kami at kakain sa labas ng Christmas breakfast. We left early to avoid the traffic and arrived at Clark Marriott Hotel before 9AM.
The staff gave us 2 options kung magpay kami ng deposit or pay as order na lang sa restaurant, we chose the latter. And since we only used our points for our accommodation, breakfast is not included. The staff informed us that we can avail the Buffet Breakfast for PHP1,200/person kasi yung sa restaurant pa daw kami mag-avail, PHP2,100/person daw yung rate. Since it was our first time, I had no idea sa buffet rates nila. Plan ko sana na magroom service na lang kami but in the end, we availed the breakfast and the staff gave us vouchers and keycard. Yey! Early check-in.
Clark Marriott Hotel Deluxe Room - King
We prefer 2 double beds but it is not available so siksikan kaming tatlo sa king sized bed. We have a couch, mini fridge, TV, complimentary coffee/tea maker.
Marbled bathroom. The toilet has a bidet.
Clark Marriott Hotel Dining Options
Clark Marriott hotel has Goji Kitchen + Bar, Smoki Moto, Wu Xing, The Lounge, Urban Coffee, Pool Bar and Noodle Inc. You can also visit the restaurants of Swissotel and Hann Resort. These 3 hotels are connected so you can just explore the area. Sa dami ng pagpipilian, hindi ka talaga magugutom, nakakabutas lang ng bulsa. Hehehe!
We had lunch at Wu Xing, breakfast at Goji Kitchen and for dinner, wala gusto sa amin magdinner na kasi may leftover kami sa Wu Xing and madami din snacks na binigay ang Marriott so we just ate Gelato at Oma’s -Swissotel Clark. Our initial plan is dinner at Smoki Moto kaso hindi na natuloy but I hope next time, we can try this restaurant kasi maganda yung review. I will share our food trip in a separate post.
We got a complimentary chocolate bar, cake, snacks, and may Christmas gift sila na towel with Marriott logo. So wala man silang Christmas events or activities, may pagift naman.
Clark Marriott has spa, fitness center and swimming pool pero wala kami pinuntahan. We literally ate, rested, and slept last Christmas.
No late check-out so we went home early at sa bahay na kami naglunch kasi marami kami leftover from our family get-together. Hehehe!
Hotel buffet is costly so I always look for deals, discounts, or promotions. For my son's 16th birthday, I searched different credit card promotions and there are hotel buffets I like to try kaso, hindi na pasok yung date sa celebration namin. Good thing, I checked The Westin Manila Facebook page and I saw their promotion.

I told my husband about this promo pero parang nagdadalawang isip siya because he already ate there and maliit lang yung restaurant ng The Westin Manila. I can’t blame him because he usually stays at The Westin Jakarta so sanay siya sa Seasonal Tastes buffet of The Westin Jakarta. In fact he just came from his Jakarta business trip tapos kinabukasan nasa Seasonal Tastes kami so buong linggo siya nagbuffet. :)
On the day of our food trip, my husband just booked using the link on the Facebook Page and also called to make sure. Buffet starts at 12NN so medyo late siya compared sa ibang hotel. We arrived 15 minutes before the opening hours but the staff already ushered us to our table and advised us na inform na lang kami kapag start na ng buffet.
My husband warned me na maliit lang yung restaurant and I agree, kung mahilig ka magmukbang, feeling ko matatry mo lahat ng food nila kasi hindi naman ganun karami. Although there are different stations, choices are limited. As far as I can remember, they have a Soup and Bread Station, Chinese and Noodles Station, Asian Delight Station, Chef’s Grilled Special Station, Pizza and Pasta Station, Japanese Station, Farm to Table Salad Bar, Charcuterie, Fruits Station, Plant-Based Station and Dessert Station.
The buffet rate includes one round of drinks, you can choose soda or juice. There is also a "One Dish Wonders" menu, so aside from the buffet spread you can order these dishes. Among the lists, we ordered Chicken Sisig Alfredo Pasta, Trio of Cheese Pizza, Grilled Beef Steak Chimichurri and Caramelized Banana Crepe. They did not check the pasta that they served, may eggshell pa na kasama.
We did not stay long and past 1PM, nag-ask na kami ng bill while eating our desserts.
Before going out of the restaurant para magpavalidate ng parking ticket, I saw the Complimentary Birthday Cake so I told my son na sayang may free cake pala. The staff heard me and asked kung may birthday celebrant ba and I said yes. She also asked kung nagsabi daw ba kami nung nagbooked? I said, I don’t know kasi si hubby nagpareserve.
Since pauwi na kami, the staff said itake-out ko na lang daw yung cake which we did. Pero yung mga birthday celebrants daw kasi kinakantahan pa nila. The cake tastes good pero parang hindi ko napansin sa buffet spread nila.
On our way home, I asked my husband kung nag-inform ba siya na may birthday celebrant nung nagbook siya and he said yes. Sa booking and nung tumawag siya. Hmm, so baka nakalimutan lang ng staff na ilista, wala kasi sa post it note nila.
Anyway, even though the buffet spread was limited, we still enjoyed our experience kasi kahit occupied yung lahat ng tables, hindi mo mafeel na crowded yung restaurant. Also, for PHP1,450 na rate, mas better ito kaysa sa Yurakuennamin last year.
