Pros:

The rooms were a great size, super comfortable and spotlessly clean! It was great to have a pool table in the bar area too (although might be time for a new one).

prima kamer, slecht teleurstellend ontbijt.
Pros:

prima kamer, ruim, prima bedden.

Cons:

Ontbijt zwaar tegenvallend. Er stond bijna niks. Weinig keuze in brood soorten of beleg. Voor een Marrito hotel echt ondermaats als je ziet wat je er voor moet betalen. Bij eten graag een Aperol Spritz genomen, maar de Aperol was op. Slordig.

A concrete block house that no-one seems to care about
Pros:

Check-in

Cons:

The very greasy, smelly breakfast. Very poor liquid supposed to be coffee. The location - a concrete highway stopover far from everywhere. The blocked basin in the bathroom, which was not attendd to despite complaint

A decent base
Pros:

The room is quite comfortable and the staff are helpful with good knowledge of the area.

Cons:

Breakfast room was untidy and we struggled to find a clear table, opting to sit in a booth for 6bas that was the only one clear.

Very disappointed
Pros:

Went with a coach party. Very disappointed with the service. They hadn't a clue how to cater for such a large group. Made to feel like second class citizens. Had to queue for all of our food like one did for school dinners. By the fourth and last night, they'd managed to get their act together with some sort of a system, perhaps they were looking for tips! However at breakfast the following morning and our departure day, it reversed to chaos again. Overall only for suitable for one night accommodation.

On the plus side, the rooms were spacious and clean.

Unresolved Issues
Pros:

I’ve been staying here regularly for work trips over the past year, and I want to be clear that the staff have always been excellent — friendly, attentive, and helpful. I have no complaints about the service from the team.

My frustration is with the hotel’s TV casting system, which has not worked at all for at least the past year, and possibly longer. This is especially disappointing given that this Marriott charges a higher nightly rate than most other hotels in the area. For that price point, I think it is reasonable to expect basic in-room technology, such as reliable TV casting, to work.

The staff appear to be just as frustrated by the issue as guests are, which suggests this is not something they can resolve locally. However, after a year of repeated stays with no apparent fix, it is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook.

I genuinely hope the hotel addresses this soon, either by fixing the casting system properly or by upgrading the rooms with smart TVs. Until then, this will continue to affect my view of the hotel, despite the otherwise good service.
