Unfortunately,
we
did
not
have
a
good
experience
at
the
Frankfurt
Airport
Marriott.
After
testing
positive
for
COVID
at
the
EcoCare
testing
center
in
the
airport
(next
door
to
the
hotel)
before
heading
home,
I
was
forced
to
isolate
for
6
days,
per
Germany's
health
guidelines
for
COVID.
I
came
across
a
review
on
Trip
Advisor
from
someone
in
a
similar
situation
that
gave
the
Marriott
a
great
review
for
hospitality
during
the
reviewer's
isolation.
Thankfully,
the
Frankfurt
Airport
Marriott
allowed
myself
and
my
partner
to
stay
at
the
hotel
to
isolate,
and
we
ended
up
staying
for
7
nights.
During
check-in,
we
were
told
that
the
rate
was
high
due
(€419
per
night)
to
an
event
happening
in
the
area,
but
that
it
would
be
reduced
after
the
first
night,
and
that
the
manager
should
be
able
to
work
to
get
a
lower
rate
when
we
checked
out.
I
also
mentioned
that
I
could
get
a
rate
discount
through
my
employer,
which
I
did
not
have
upon
booking/checking
in
at
the
front
desk
as
we
were
on
leisure
travel,
and
was
told
once
I
got
the
corporate
code
it
could
be
applied
to
the
stay.
Once
I
received
my
corporate
code,
I
followed
up
with
the
Front
Desk
Manager
(Cemre)
who
informed
me
that
it
could
not
be
applied
retroactively
and
we
would
have
to
check
out
and
create
a
new
stay
on
the
Marriott
site
using
the
reduced
rate;
he
also
told
us
that
he
could,
in
fact,
not
reduce
the
rate
for
the
previous
nights
at
checkout.
Once
we
checked
out
and
checked
back
in
for
the
reduced
rate,
we
found
out
that
the
€419
rate
had
applied
to
every
night
so
far
and
ended
up
paying
€1346
for
three
nights
(including
VAT).
The
rate
for
the
final
four
nights
did
drop;
however,
it
was
still
quite
high
compared
to
other
hotels
in
the
area.
We
ended
up
moving
to
a
Hyatt
five
minutes
away
for
€100
per
night.
Apart
from
the
issue
with
the
cost
of
the
room,
we
were
not
impressed
with
the
room
itself.
We
had
a
King
bed,
which
was
very
firm,
a
broken
table
(which
did
get
fixed),
and
the
water
for
the
shower
takes
a
long
time
to
get
warm.
The
food
in
the
hotel
restaurant
was
also
very
expensive,
where
even
things
like
croissants
were
almost
double
the
cost
of
a
croissant
at
a
kiosk
right
outside
entrance
to
the
hotel.
There
are
plenty
of
other
options
for
food
well
within
walking
distance
from
the
hotel
in
the
airport
without
needing
to
go
through
security.
Fortunately,
the
majority
of
the
staff
was
very
respectful
and
welcoming,
even
when
we
had
an
issue
with
our
upstairs
neighbor
making
a
lot
of
noise
(even
though
the
building
is
concrete)
in
the
very
late
and
early
morning
hours.
As
an
aside,
we
were
not
able
to
hear
the
planes
unless
it
was
very
cloudy
or
raining,
so
the
hotel
itself
is
rather
quiet,
with
the
exception
of
our
upstairs
neighbor
and
the
occasional
door
slamming
in
the
hallway.
I
am
giving
the
second
star
for
the
majority
of
the
staff
who
was
very
pleasant
and
helpful,
especially
as
we
were
running
around
frantically
in
the
beginning
trying
to
figure
out
where
to
stay
to
isolate.
Unfortunately,
my
partner,
who
did
not
test
positive
and
was
given
permission
by
both
the
Frankfurt
local
health
authority
and
Marriott
management
to
leave
the
room,
came
across
a
rude
staff
member
who
tried
to
tell
her
that
she
was
not
allowed
to
leave
the
room.
The
same
staff
member
also
told
her
that
the
VAT
added
to
the
bill(s)
could
be
refunded
at
the
airport,
which
ended
up
being
incorrect.
Overall,
I
cannot
really
recommend
this
hotel
unless
you
want
to
stay
right
at
the
airport
and
be
able
to
walk
to
your
flight,
but
tread
carefully
and
check
the
rates
at
the
hotel.
The
staff
was
mostly
pleasant,
but
the
experience
was
spoiled
by
the
issue
with
cost
given
that
we
were
being
forced
to
isolate
and
felt
a
bit
taken
advantage
of.
We
were
told
a
few
times
that
they
would
"see
what
they
could
do"
about
the
rate,
but
nothing
ever
changed.
The
Director
of
Rooms
(Peter)
did
follow
up
with
me
directly
to
apologize,
but
I
believe
it
was
too
little
too
late.
