Great time!
Basel is a quaint city. Rooms were clean. Easy public transportation to downtown and zoo. The hotel bar had a great attentive bartender and breakfast was a good spread every day.

Nice but expensive
Our stay in the Marriott Hotel in Basel was very nice, however with no breakfast included in the price it was a very expensive experience. We also had to pay for parking which was much more than expected.

OK for one night
There is no parking garage from the hotel. The next one is the messe parking garage. Because of a big street constraction between hotel and messeplatz, it was a quite distance to the hotel especially when traveling with luggage.

Property and rooms/employees all excellent.
Surrounding area under construction and a carnival active across the street.
These problems hopefully will clear up soon.

Everything was great. The staff was friendly and informative.The rooms were clean. Only thing wrong was the construction that was taking place next to the hotel. The hotel was centrally located to what I wanted see and explore. Will stay again.
