Pisa, Italy Hotel Rooms at the Marriott

I stayed at this hotel in October 2013 for a birthday weekend getaway. Getting to the hotel was fairly easily, 15 minute taxi ride from airport. There are bus stops nearby where you can catch a bus to the city centre. While the buses did take some time to arrive, the journey to the city centre was just about 10 mins and from there, you could pretty much walk to key sites like the Leaning Tower, etc. The hotel is located in a residential area, so it was very quiet around and felt very safe. There weren't too many guests at the hotel itself when we visited, which was also a plus since you didn't feel as if you were competing for space, which is sometimes the case when it's full of people. Breakfast was fairly varied, reasonable range of breads, cheeses, fruit. We tried dinner at the hotel 1 night and it was exceptional! Ravioli and the fish in particular. Kudos to the chef. The cost of the package (flight and hotel) was also quite good and we were really happy, especially since breakfast was included. My only grouse was that the buses did not run frequently. Also, in order to go to Florence, we had to take a bus to the city centre, then one to the airport, where you got the coach to Florence. I didn't anticipate that but it's perhaps because I didn't do sufficient research beforehand. All in all, I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
