Madrid Marriott Auditorium Hotel & Conference Center

Large hotel that is right next to airport. Not new looking hotel, but clean and doesn’t look dated. Neutral design, could be a Marriott in any country! It is very large but logically organized so navigatable. Rooms are neutral and well maintained. Comfortable linens, though not the softest. The AC did take a while to cool down the room and had to be turned on high, so the fan was a bit loud. Staff from the front desk to the lounge were all friendly. Good buffet breakfast and large executive lounge that takes up an entire block of the third floor. On a Saturday, it still wasn’t too busy by the time we left at 8:30am. It seems far from city center for tourist stuff , but perhaps good if you have business in the area, it’s a good option other than for access to the airport.

Beautiful Hotel, Amazing Service, Lovely food. Nice room with king sized bed, huge hotel to roam around in with 3 restaurants (separate additional place for breakfast). The vegan food was really awesome. The servers at champions bar were super attentive to our vegan preference and were very joyful. They also have lots of conference rooms for business folks. It was so nice being at this hotel. We loved it!

I expected the basics to be better. I booked for an unexpected layover, so all I needed was sleep yet the room had a blind that wouldn’t close fully close (external lights shone through at night), the bedding quality is below average, and the AC couldn’t get below 21 degrees. Plus I was at the end of a corridor that smelt like stale cigarettes (seems the nearby exit/outdoor space is the go-to for smokers) - just to add to the ambiance.
