We were traveling throughout the Baltics and Russia and stayed in wonderful European hotels. When we arrived at the Marriott we might as well been in the states as so many of the guests were American. Which of course made it a surprise that the hotel lobby is sufficating with smokers. We had a midnight train to St. Petersburg and had to check out of hotel at noon, it was difficult to stay in the lobby with all the smoke. The customer relations manager was very accomodating and allowed us to rest on the non-smoking floor lobby. I had developed a cold, it was raining and needed an early evening rest prior to the train.
The breakfast was terrific and the staff was so accomodating even with some "ugly" Americans making them crazy with requests. The restaurant in the hotel was quite good and reasonable for the high costs in Moscow. In all the hotels we stayed in, the internet was free. Many guide books complain about the Marriott costs and it seems they have paid attention. You can pop in and use the internet for free for five minutes...enough time to check emails, however, if you are there for business it may get costly.
The location was fabulous and a quiet street a half a block from all the action. We would recommend this hotel.
