This Europe trip, I used Amsterdam, Netherlands, as a layover hub, so I needed a stable night's stay at an airport hotel. There were many options around Schiphol Airport, and after considering everything, I chose this Marriott-brand hotel.
**Environment:**
It's about a fifteen-minute drive from the airport. The straight-line distance isn't far, but the car has to take a roundabout route. The surroundings of the hotel are quite ordinary, but the interior is pretty good. The lobby bar is a plus, there's a Spanish restaurant and a Starbucks cafe, and the lobby design has a very artistic vibe with excellent greenery. In the courtyard, there's a 1:1 scale model of a Boeing plane, which might even be a retired one moved directly here, quite interesting.
**Facilities:**
Overall, the facilities are complete, with an indoor swimming pool, a gym, an underground cinema, meeting rooms, and a supermarket. The rooms are a bit small, and even the triple room felt a bit cramped. The swimming pool is nice though; although not large, it's well-equipped with a sauna and steam room. The changing room amenities are a bit basic.
**Hygiene:**
The public areas are excellent, the room was a bit messy. The lobby bar is very comfortable, providing a relatively clean and tidy resting place for transit passengers.
**Service:**
The front desk service was average. There weren't any special benefits for Marriott members; late check-out was 10 euros an hour. I paid 50 euros to extend my check-out time. However, the shuttle bus was a major highlight – very punctual and convenient for getting to and from the airport. We also used the shuttle bus plus train to go downtown, which worked out quite well.
**Overall:**
There aren't too many choices around the airport. Paying 2,000 RMB for one night plus five hours of late check-out didn't feel like great value for money. Given the high demand from transit passengers, the hotel seemed to be doing very well.
