Das Hotel bietet alles was man braucht und ist perfekt
Pros:

Tolles Hotel mit schönen, großen Zimmern. Perfektes Service, wir konnten auch einen Koffer während einer 5Tages Reise dort lassen - hat super funktioniert. Tolles Frühstücksbuffet.

OK. Better than Premier Inn.
Pros:

Not happy to make repeat trips to put jam or marmalade on toast after taking it away for buttering.

Cons:

Needed loose chair to take to bathroom. Grab rail close to shower fixture. No bath mat.

Pros:

Location was great, close enough to the city centre but not directly in the thick of it so we get some peace and quiet. Check in and check out process was very smooth and the staff was also very nice - I was even able to check in before noon.

Cons:

Housekeeping was not the best - a lot of things were not fixed or restocked (sofa cushion not fixed properly, face tissue and sanitary bag not restocked, etc). Room and building on the older side, and AC was not cool enough.

Aire acondicionado daba solo frío.
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

El aire funcionaba solo en modo frío, solo nos dieron la opción de usar un calentador eléctrico sucio y roto. El personal no se preocupó por nosotros para cambiarnos de habitación, aunque el aire es algo fundamental en invierno.

Non all’altezza della catena Marriott. Decisamente troppo caro in relazione ai servizi offerti
Pros:

La posizione, la colazione, la doccia

Cons:

Il letto con un materasso scadente o semplicemente troppo vecchio. Non ci sono pantofole per gli ospiti e neanche cuffia per i capelli. La luce penetra dalle finestre in quanto le tende non sono perfettamente coprenti

Pros:

Hotel is generally ok, location is very good

Cons:

They use an extremely strong and very unpleasant (to me) "Marriott" fragrance (how they call it) in the lobby area. I have sensitivity to chemical fragrances in general, but have never experienced something like this in a hotel. This is a No No hotel for me in the future.

I literally had to stop breathing and run through the reception area when going out.

Not for people with parfume/chemical sensitivities or for those who don't want to breathe in unnecessary toxic substances.
