A ROOM OF 9 SQUARE METERS LIKE A PRISON CELL
My daughter reserved a TWIN room (Room, 1 Twin Bed, Non Smoking) for 196 €/day for three nights. The room I got for that price was the 344. Its surface, which I measured from the evacuation floor plan posted on the door, was not more than 9 (nine) square meters : a corridor of 2 m width and 4 meters length with an additional one square meter for the shower at one of its extremities. The width of the other extremity was occupied with the bed of about 1 meter width altogether installed just below the window. With a little more than 2 square meters for the toilet and shower, the remaining “free space” was not more than 4.5 square meter, partially occupied by a closet, a round table on the same side and another one below the television (that doesn’t operate for economy reasons) on the other ! Finally, the free floor space was not more than 1.5 square meter at the most. Altogether, the room for a single person in a Marriot hotel has the surface of a prison cell in Germany (you can check via Wikimedia). I spent my first night in my prison cell but I couldn’t imagine spending two more nights there. I thus requested a change of accommodation, according to the price paid, that was granted (room 104). This was nice since the room was probably around five times larger. I was very much surprised that they didn’t propose compensation for the first night and for the trouble imposed to me. Marriot (Sonder) should be ashamed to HAVE AND RENT such a so called room, especially that the cleanness is at the limit of acceptable, there is no shower curtain in spite that the holes for it are there. For the rest: the situation is ok but the hotel is not at the standards you expect from the advertising and the Marrriot signature.
