De locatie is prima, de kamer verouderd en struikel gevaarlijk.
Pros:

De locatie t.o.v. het vliegveld is prima. Is te lopen, ca. 700 meter. Handig wanneer je het hotel gebruikt tussen twee vluchten.

Cons:

De kamer is verouderd. De douchekop zat los, zakte iedere keer naar beneden in de houder. Het water lekte uit de douche de badkamer in. De ramen kon je niet meer open zetten omdat de houders defect waren. En het vloerkleed dat in de kamer lag had door veroudering een opstaande rand wat leidt tot struikelen met alle gevolgen van dien. Al helemaal in de nacht bij toiletbezoek. Het vloerkleed zelf was smerig, al lang niet meer gezogen of gereinigd.

Slechte prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding!
Pros:

Ligging, lopend bereikbaar vanuit het vliegveld.

Cons:

Restaurant.
Matige menukaart en 40% van de gerechten die in de kaart stonden waren er niet!!!! Zeer frustrerend omdat er geen alternatieve restaurants in de buurt zijn.
Dat verwacht je niet van een Marriot Hotel.

Very convenient, but facilities need improving
Pros:

Location is No. 1
Staff very polite and helpful

Cons:

The room I stayed in had a very bad smell coming from the bathroom.
The shower, with the half glass door, results in a flooded bathroom floor. Not pleasant.
