Residence Inn by Marriott Essen City
Wotif Verified Review
5 / 5
Great hotel. Clean and comfortable rooms. Tasty breakfast. 24 hour access to a fancy coffee machine. Limited onsite parking. Not always enough. There is underground parking across the road but it's not included. Will stay here again if in the area.
