Pros:

- Zimmer sehr sauber
- Kleiner Kühlschrank und sogar Bügeleisen mit Bügelbrett im Zimmer
- Supermarkt unmittelbar nebenan
- Zentrale und trotzdem ruhige Lage (ideal für´s klassische Touristen-Programm)
- Sehr leckeres und ausgiebiges Frühstück
- Relativ großer Fitnessraum im Keller

Cons:

- Wasser in der Dusche kaum einstellbar, es war eigentlich nur wählbar zwischen "heiß" und "zu heiß".
- Schwimmbad im Keller wirkt etwas renovierungsbedürftig.

Zadowolony, choć lekko poirytowany.
Pros:

Bardzo komfortowy pokój, czysto, wygodne łóżko, winda.

Cons:

Płatny parking nie wliczony w cene. To jednak Marriott, parking 25£ za dobę to przesada.
