Many reviewers have commented that this Marriott is getting a bit "tired" and it cannot be denied that this is indeed the case. The bathroom is showing its age (and some mould) which also affects customer experience. The beds are as comfortable as you can expect from a Marriott and (thank you!) Marriott has not given in to the general trend in hotels to use artificial fabric in stead of cotton sheets and down covers. So at the Marriott one can still enjoy a good night's sleep! Unfortunately the window opens 1 inch giving just enough air not to suffocate but not nearly enough to breathe easily. It was cold outside but the room was quite warm and stuffy.
Staff at reception and at the breakfast buffet is very friendly and helpful, also to rectify anything that may be wrong.
At a reduced rate this hotel offers value for money. At list price I would go elsewhere and drive a bit longer (there is no real competition in Swindon).
