Independent - accommodation in Thalayolaparambu

Excellent staff superb rooms.

Free shuttle to international airport. Good service for a 3 minute drive. Mediocre service. Restaurant wait staff poor. Restaurant A/c not working properly for three days , two nights I was there. Room A/c fan ran all the time-Loudly. Off or cold were the two temperatures. Noisy. NOTE ROOMS ARE NOT SOUNDPROOFED AS ADVERTISED. Generous but unnecessary built in cupboard doors bang in the room and surrounding rooms waking middle of the night and early morning as people leave for airport. Limited western food. Included breakfast mediocre—4 Raw or hard cooked poached eggs only—cook did it know better. And, in India mind you, they could not figure out how to bring a teapot of boiling, not tepid water with a creamer, small jug of cold milk for me and my decaf teabag. Buffet food over cooked and mediocre taste. Morning f pastries cold and old or previously frozen. Huge toaster that either burned toast or only cooked one side. Marriot needs to try harder here and give staff better training or fire the management.
