For the final night of this trip to Florida, I stayed at one of the hotels in West Palm Beach, close to the airport.
Booking
I made the reservation a few weeks before my arrival. I chose the Marriott, conveniently located near both the airport and the Brightline station.
I booked a standard room for just under $300 per night.
Arrival
I arrived at the hotel in the early afternoon after a short ride on Brightline. I took the Uber paid for by the rail company to reach the hotel after a brief journey of less than 10 minutes.
The welcome was very warm and I was quickly taken care of. I was informed of an upgrade to a Club room, and I was soon on my way to it.
Room
My room was located on the 10th and top floor of the hotel. And indeed, it was directly opposite the Club Lounge.
The entrance opens onto a corridor, with a somewhat dated bathroom on the left. The shower is spacious.
Next comes the room itself, with a king-size bed set against a tasteful headboard.
Near the window, there is a large sofa facing a desk.
The décor is therefore successful overall, except in the bathroom.
To conclude, here is the video tour:
Hotel Amenities
The hotel has a swimming pool, a fitness room, and a laundry room available for guests.
Pool
The property features a pleasant outdoor pool, which I used upon arrival. It was a little too cool for my taste.
Fitness Center
The fitness room is located on the ground floor of the hotel. It is fairly small but sufficient for a hotel of this size. I made good use of it on the morning of my stay.
Launderette
A small laundry room is available for guests and can be used with coins. Practical during longer stays.
Food & Beverage
The property has a bar/restaurant located near the lobby, as well as a Concierge Lounge on the 10th floor of the hotel.
Concierge Lounge
I did not use the restaurant, but I made good use of the Concierge Lounge both for Happy Hour and for breakfast.
The breakfast offering is fairly limited.
Service
Service throughout the hotel is quite pleasant.
Departure
The departure formalities were extremely simple, as they were completed through the Marriott Bonvoy app.
Bottom line
An average stay.
