I booked the Marriott Marble Arch on Priceline. The rate was £85 per night which for a four star hotel in central London is pretty good.
The hotel in situated just off Edgware Road almost in the middle, equidistant from both Marble Arch and Edgware Road tube stations. The hotel is back one block from the main road which makes the rooms very quiet indeed.
At check-in I was made to fill out a registration card. This annoys me. I had already given the same information to Priceline who in turn has give it to the hotel! Think joined up people!
Anyway after a short check in (and a £50 swipe taken for a three night stay) I was in the room. I think I had been given a deluxe room as I had two Queen beds in a pretty spacious room; this is London and space usually costs!
Room was real quiet which is so important to me; I was overlooking a side street. The pretend balcony in the room had doors that actually opened so some real air was able to get into the room. I had all the normal stuff you would expect from a Marriott and actually as a Hilton devotee, I think the Marriott did a pretty good job.
As this was a Priceline rate there was no breakfast. As part of my healthy living stage (I know, it was a mistake), I didn’t visit the bar either so can’t really comment any more.
I will say that I was distressed every time I used the elevator and read the Executive Lounge badge; I don’t like being a nobody. What does that say about me?
