Good hotel. Well located for shopping and sights in central area. Extra fees include room service of 7 pounds for food, every time you get room service. Also you pay 25 pounds for parking per day. My first night I was given an extra bed with unclean linen so they had to change it. Thats why I gave a 3 star. The second room we got was clean though. I paid higher season rates so really expect the service to be proffessional. Staff all doing a fairly good job. We were really tired independent travellors at the end of our trip so needed some comfort and relaxation. Unfortunately in both rooms only 15 tissue hankies were provided. This was ... stingy and weird.

Good but not great
The Marriott was good but not great. One of the two lifts had not worked for four months and being on the fifth floor that was not helpful. The pool was very good with helpful staff.

Fringe event trip
Pleasant hotel well placed for the city centre and for fringe events. Noise du the night from somewhere outside but living in a quiet rural community maybe not used to city noise. Strange that it was a room for disabled people as you still had to climb into a bath to use the shower. Parking close by and discounted
