Had a standard room for 1 night in the modern Marriott hotel in Ghent. Nicely decorated lobby, futuristic-looking hall where the sleeping quarters are located in a timeless, sleek and modern style, as well as the bedroom and bathroom. Mini market for a late snack in the lobby, nice addition as the location is not near a shopping street.
All rooms were clean and fresh. Lovely bed (firm, slightly too soft mattress, good suspension), bedroom was warm, slightly too warm during the night (down duvet), counter top with built-in fridge, coffee maker, bar available. Darkened windows, tilting window present, excellent sound insulation. A suitable and affordable room for a short and longer stay.
Minuses:
Missed in the bathroom storage space at a higher position than under the sink (for placing a toiletry bag (2 people), kids / hooks to hang your clothes. Space on the side of the window a bit too narrow (walk sideways) .
Staff: were friendly and attentive. Improving the communication of the female employee on arrival (check-in) and on departure a male employee may direct the communication (explanation, payment of deposit) to the person who reserved and paid for the room (woman) and not to the male guest, who stood at a distance from the counter. Impersonal and not customer friendly.
Location (near highway, stadium) is reasonably accessible by car to the center of Ghent, +/- 16 minutes.
Parking: plenty of parking. Too bad that it is paid (€19 for one night) in a closed parking in a rural area. I found it useful to use a code to drive in and out, which can be obtained at the desk at check-in.
Very Good
