Immaculate and Convenient

The location was super convenient! I walked easily to major attractions and the train station. The onsite restaurant offered good service, as expected from a Marriott. Breakfast had many options. I found the food quality great.
The pool needed some attention. I noticed missing ceiling tiles and some general untidiness by the side, though the water temperature was fine.

The reception staff were friendly and helpful, assisting with directions and local information! The restaurant staff were attentive, providing prompt and courteous service during both breakfast and dinner services, I must say.

The room was spacious and immaculate. I particularly appreciated the comfortable bed with crisp, clean sheets. The bathroom featured a good shower, and complimentary toiletries were available, which I found helpful, though the parking was expensive.
Facilities

The gym was well-equipped with treadmills and stationary bikes, a good thing! The swimming pool was a good addition to the stay. I also enjoyed access to the sauna and found it a great way to unwind after a day of exploring.
