Hotel Marom

Let's start at the bottom. When you arrive the ramp to the reception area is blocked off so you can either hump your luggage up the ramp or a long flight of steep steps. The hotel offers only a paltry breakfast and nothing else food wise. They will if you request order take out from a locale fast food restaurant. While the lobby was updated the rooms were not. They look like something out of a cheaters motel. The carpet was torn and heavily stained, actually coming away from the walls. In the showers there is a towel warmer however it is not connected to the electrical service and is rusted along with the grommets on the shower curtain. You will get only one sheet on your mattress, no mattress cover is provided.

The staff was helpful. The rooms were not clean, we found a cockroach in the bathroom, there was a light from outside which shined directly into our room. The location was hard to find, and not conveniently located to anything. The free breakfast was not good at all.

The room was large, the facilities looked good (including jaccuzi in the garden, etc.). The breakfast service was very pleasant with a large choice of food. The location is definitely not a good one for a city trip as it took us more than an hour to walk to the city center (this also has something to do with the hilly landscape of the city, Haifa, itself). Also, don't put your money on public transport, as buses often don't run. In addition, the bedding wasn't clean, which I suppose was the biggest minus of the room.

The guy at the reception didn't speak any Englsih so I had to ask people outside about the safe parking place.
