! The Marmara Hotel – A Good Stay with a Few Funny Surprises Overall, I had a very pleasant stay, but there are a few things future guests should know. First, the website is a little misleading. It mentions an airport shuttle, but there isn’t one, so plan your transportation accordingly. Second, the attached SheMall looked like a movie set after everyone had gone home—almost completely empty. Don’t expect a shopping adventure there. Now, let’s talk about the interior design. I’m convinced the woodwork was designed by a framing carpenter who had a little too much coffee that morning. It has a very… “under construction” personality. 😄 The biggest challenge was the bed. The pillows and mattress felt like they came straight from the Stone Age. Sleeping on them was remarkably similar to spending the night on a sheet of OSB plywood. My back and I had a long discussion the next morning! That said, the staff were friendly, the hotel was clean, the location was excellent, and everything else about the stay was very good. With a softer mattress, better pillows, and accurate information about the airport shuttle, this place would be outstanding. I would stay here again—next time I’ll just bring my own pillow!

Wonderful stay
