Traveling wit celiac and diabetes is always a good challenge, but I have found it doable! But being a light sleeper, does big ben going off pernitrate the walls and windows? would love a river view but leery about the possibilities of too much noise?!?! Any info would be great -- thanks😉
I think Big Ben was still out of service during my visit, if it was in service I never heard it. Only one of the faces on the tower was fully visible. My room had two window layers, an inner and outer which seemed to mute the regular river noises. I loved the Marriott, the location there puts you in easy reach of lots of the top sites in London. And there is a grocery right around the corner where I did my food shopping!
I was working for one of the Marriott HQs (in Omaha) when I visited London and took a peek inside this hotel as it was very popular among Rewards members, I mean it's a no-brainer just look at the location! I ended up having lunch at that touristy fish 'n chips place downriver behind the Eye. Which reminds me...I'm going to be back there in a few months! - Red
I didn't see anything that made me feel unsafe. Being right next to a major tourist attraction and right across the river from Big Ben is probably a good thing, safety wise. I never saw anything that made me feel unsafe while walking around the area either (I walked to the market every day to grab my GF food). Safety is always going to be upto the traveler when in a new area, if it looks unsafe, it probably is. I'd choose this hotel for a return stay if I was going back to London.
I have seen some Americans who need gluten free meals discover that they don’t need to worry in Europe, probably because there is something else missing in European food that triggers reactions to gluten in the states.
@@TrizityTraveling I was wondering whether you had tried to find out if you were the same. I do appreciate that there are people who genuinely cannot eat gluten and some think they are effected by gluten, when it could be another chemical that is triggering a bodily response.
What level of Bonvoy to get free breakfast? Great video.

Is it in a safe area? Great video.

@@TrizityTraveling Awesome. Thank you! Making my first trip to London next week so definetly looking forward to a great time there.

It's nice to have that worry removed when traveling.

I am a confirmed celiac. Unfortunately.
@@TrizityTraveling Then my question was not relevant to you. There are people who think they are effected by gluten.
Airport shuttle. Do the hotel have airport shuttle?
It did not when I visited.
@@TrizityTraveling Thanks
