Courtyard by Marriott — Hotel in Xiamen

This was one of the best courtyard hotels I've stayed at. It is probably a Marriott class hotel because they have ballrooms, a huge swimming pool and lots of other facilities. The location is less desirable because it is near some industrial estates but there is a Starbucks that is 5 minutes walk away. I would highly recommend this hotel that is close to the airport which is about 15 minutes away. The hotel is very new and the staff was very helpful. My only qualm was at the swimming pool when they asked me to rent the kickboard that was next to the pool and and the attendant Said all the equipment needs to be rented for 15 rmb, this was weird and annoying. Perhaps it was operated by a third party? The buffet breakfast in the morning was pretty amazing and equal to that of the Westin in Xiamen. I will certainly stay at...

Location near airport, surrounding looks like industrial area. Not suitable for leisure traveling. Room is stuffy during winter time as they on warmer.

Sweet potato is cut into small parts instead of the whole sweet potato that presented, thus the sweet potato turn black making it looks not appealing. Will never stay at Courtyard by...
