The hotel is situated near the Ostbahnhof. On street level, you can not enter the hotel really - the reception is on first floor, and the elevator has a button for 1st floor, but it only works when you already have checked in. So you need to walk up ca 2 dozen stairs. The receptionist was very friendly, and check in went smoothly. I had not signed up for a Marriott membership but it would be recommended because WiFi speed / internet bandwidth was rather limited, and you get a premium Wifi pass for free after you have signed up. But not right away.... I waited several hours but still did not get the better access. The apartment style rooms on 3rd floor are well designed, very clean, almost sterile, in a modern ambiente. Right across a fitness studio or so, there was party sound until late night so no way to fall asleep when the window was open... The air conditioning did not really cool down but just circulated air. Only one power socket next to the bed, so when you want to charge your laptop, your phone and the smartwatch over there, you better bring a multicharger... The breakfast buffet was ok, but a few essentials really missing, e.g. no egg holder, eggs only in one cooking (hard, no soft eggs), and which of the various bottles did hold milk, skimmed milk, vanilla milk or whatever was not visible, so you had to guess... Orange juice was coming from a tap-water style dispenser, a mix of concentrate and water, not really a quality what you'd expect when paying almost 200 Euro per night... In the evenings, the receptionist is no longer available, but you have to go to the next hotel nearby, the Moxy. All in all ok, but like I said you pay for the Marriott brand, not for the service delivery you'd expect on that price level.
