Marriott's holy land for room brushing

Some Marriott hotel group members need to brush rooms to maintain or upgrade their membership level. To minimize the cost of room brushing, they usually choose the cheapest Marriott hotels. There are two cheapest Marriott hotels in the Guangzhou area, Aloft Guangzhou University Park and Fairfield by Marriott Foshan Nanhai. Let me introduce and compare them for you: Location Aloft Guangzhou University Park is located on Xiaoguwei Island in Guangzhou University Town. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from Tianhe CBD. Public transportation includes the Metro Line 4 University Town South Station, and the hotel is more than 10 minutes' walk from the subway station. The hotel is relatively remote, with no commercial streets or shopping plazas nearby, and limited dining options. The street lights are dim at night, there are not many pedestrians, and it is recommended that girls walk out in groups. Fairfield by Marriott Foshan Nanhai is located in the Nanhai Financial High-tech Zone of Foshan. It takes about 50 minutes to drive from Guangzhou Tianhe CBD, and public transportation includes the Guangfo Metro Line Financial High-tech Zone Station. The hotel is situated in a busy commercial area, with Xinkai Plaza right downstairs and Wanda Plaza across the street, making shopping and dining very convenient. Facilities Aloft Guangzhou University Park opened in 2014. Even after ten years since its opening, the facilities are still well maintained. The decoration style is youthful and lively, with colorful tones that do not feel outdated, and even a bit of design sense. However, the hardware has not been updated much, and some parts are a bit old. The hotel has a swimming pool, but it has been closed since the fall of 2023, and it is unknown whether it will reopen. Fairfield by Marriott Foshan Nanhai opened in 2019. The hotel facilities are new, and the decoration and furnishings in the lobby are quite upscale. The comfort of the rooms is better than that of Aloft Guangzhou University Park. However, the rooms still have a bit of a renovation smell. The hotel does not have a swimming pool, only a small gym. Price Aloft Guangzhou University Park is probably the cheapest Marriott hotel in the Guangzhou area, with off-season prices as low as about 360 yuan. The room rate does not include breakfast. The hotel breakfast is standard, with a complete variety. However, the fluctuation of the room rate of this hotel is quite large, especially when there is an exhibition in Pazhou, the room rate can soar to more than 800 yuan per night. When brushing rooms, pay attention to the time period, otherwise, you may encounter a spike in room prices. Fairfield by Marriott Foshan Nanhai is a bit more expensive than Aloft Guangzhou University Park, with off-season prices around 400 yuan (third-party agency prices are lower but do not provide SNP). Fairfield brand room rates include breakfast for two. The breakfast is excellent among hotels of the same grade, with a rich variety and many local Foshan specialties. The fluctuation of the room rate of this hotel is relatively small, basically within a hundred yuan. In summary, Aloft Guangzhou University Park is closer to the city center and the cheapest, while Fairfield by Marriott Foshan Nanhai is more comfortable and has a better breakfast. You can choose according to your own needs. I hope this note will be helpful to you, thank you!
