Per una notte di passaggio ci può stare.
Pros:

La gentilezza alla reception

Cons:

Le camera datate e un po’ sporche ma soprattutto la struttura in generale un po’ poco curata. Nel corridoio c’erano tutte le lampade strappate, le porte avevano una toppa per coprire un buco di quando forse hanno cambiato le serrature e il bagno con la vasca e la tenda ormai forse da cambiare, per non parlare della struttura del lavandino tutta rovinata con il legno della costruzione a vista.

Pros:

The old lady behind the desk frauds ppl. Reported to the Better Business Bureau and they said we had good reason to as so many other people have had the same problem.

Pros:

Rien

Cons:

Payer trop cher pour le peu de confort les lit étais défoncerais. En plus il nous on charger plus cher. Pas de serviette ni de kleenex. Les employés parle pas français. La piscine juste dégueulasse du moisi vert gluant dans le fond de la piscine yeurk. Pas propre du tout et l eau très gluante et brouiller. Plus jamais marriott 0/10

Pros:

Clean room, comfortable bedding and enough choice for breakfast

Cons:

The pool is either not clean or stained at the bottom we didn’t use it for this reason, and we couldn’t use the jacuzzi due to being closed.
