I agree with you on The Park Inn and Ibis - but not the Big Sleep. It's a really funky 1960's building that needs a better street frontage at ground level. The elevated tower itself though is great. Of all the talls on that stretch I'd say the Radisson Blu and Big Sleep are the best while Altolusso and Ty Pont Haearn are the real dogs.
As far as the Marriot goes, I don't mind it so much now that there's been a lot of infill around it. The main problem is the awful dead frontage that the attached multi story car park presents to both Mill Lane and Custom House Street. The way city centre land values are going I suspect it may well be sold off in future.
