Heads Up About the Frankfurt Marriott, for German Expats

0 0

Just a heads up for the many expats living in Germany: the Frankfurt Marriott requires a passport upon check-in. This affects those of us who live in and travel around Germany on a regular basis and don’t carry a passport on us every single day.

When I went to check in and they asked for my passport, I told them I didn’t have it on me because I live in Germany and don’t carry it everywhere. The front desk accepted my SOFA-German driver’s license as substitution, but advised me that as of 01 May this will not be flexible. I was, therefore, taken aback.

Now, if you read this blog, then you know that I travel a lot. A lot-lot. I haven’t used a passport during check-in in a German hotel since the first hotel, in September 2012.

I’ll write about the property later.  Until then, here’s the amazeballs view from our room on the 43rd floor:

  1. Very disappointed by my stay at Marriott Frankfurt because of outrageous fees for water… water for crying out loud! I ordered water at dinner and was charged over 14 euros just for the water. Not kidding. My food was 22 euros and it was quite fine. But I am still upset at having to pay so much for what amounted to two glasses of water (not even any ice).

    1. Oh, bummer! I always joke–but I’m not really joking–that beer is cheaper than water in Germany. I hate when something like that taints your whole experience.
