I stayed one night at the Budapest Marriott on points on St Stephen’s, followed by paying for 2 nights paid at the Courtyard. I was very impressed with both places!
The Marriott had amazing views of the fireworks and it was clearly one of the top nights of the year for them - terrific lounge with free drinks (I arrived after the evening appetizers) and a great full breakfast. Fantastic location. Awesome fitness center. Room was very nice.
at the Courtyard, I was upgraded to a huge suite with a very large terrace. Both properties looked very recently renovated as well. Easy access to transportation and landmarks.
