If you are traveling by yourself, the Marriott is one of the safest hotels to stay. I felt at ease, because the staff was friendly and the security is on point. Check in was easy and accommodating. The breakfast was also an excellent touch, a bit of everything.

8/10 Very Good! (741 reviews)
The little restaurant opposite the buffet is really nice, the staff is wonderful! The food is better than the buffet, but a very limited menu, I would suggest a choice of the day to add diversity. No other good restaurants in the neighborhood of the hotel.
