GermanyA safe and emergency haven under the Marriott brand that fills the yawning gaps in Booking.com's other site listings, which displayed a dangerous and dramatic fail this time. I originally booked an apartment in the same Melrose Arch complex, and arrived to discover there was NO electricity and no back-up. Not even a torch or a candle. The apartment manager told me I wasn't promised electricity when I booked. Booking.com made some noises but stood by the penalty payment I had to make for cancelling and as far as I can tell have done nothing about their misleading listings. Electricity should be a given. Next time, I will book directly with Marriott because there is no way i'm trusting booking.com again.
