1. I figured, why pay the high Marriott room rate when I can stay a stone's throw away, get a bigger room and free internet to boot? After staying there, my conclusion is that it's a good hotel for tourists given the price and location but it lacks services and amenities business travelers look for.

7. We had an 'atrium view' room which was a little bit 'depressive' due to the lack of light, I would probably recommand choosing a 'outside view' room.
