Booking
I booked this hotel 2 days before my arrival in Lyon, because of a last minute client meeting. Not much choice in Lyon for chain hotels other than Accor: it was the Marriott or the Radisson SAS (formerly Le Meridien) at the top of the pencil. Nice but old fashioned.
So here I am again at the Marriott Lyon, for 140€ a night in a standard room.
Arrival
The day before my arrival, I noticed that I had been upgraded to the Royal Suite, a level never reached in this hotel. Perhaps the effect of my previous complaint following the unacceptable behavior of the staff.
I arrive in the early morning at the hotel, by Uber from Saint-Exupéry airport.
Arriving so early, I think that my room will not be ready: it will not be and I could access it as soon as I arrive. The formalities are done very quickly, and I will choose the points as a welcome gift, having to leave early for the airport the next morning.
Room
The suite was located on the 8th and top floor of the property. This time, no question of two merged rooms, it is a real suite with a lounge separated from the room, very well decorated.
The entrance is quite spacious and gives access to the completely renovated bathroom.
It also has a large closet.
The lounge area is very well renovated and perfectly furnished, and will prove to be very pleasant to relax after a very long client meeting.
The bedroom area is quite classic, with the classic Marriott bed, always very comfortable.
To finish, a virtual visit in video:
Hotel facilities
I won’t come back to these, you can read them in the previous reports.
Food options
I won’t be using the restaurant, but I will have lunch on room service.
It will be excellent.
Departure
The departure formalities were simple, and the invoice was sent to my e-mail address a few minutes after my departure.
Bottom line
The hotel made up well following the previous catastrophic stay… I will return… Maybe!
