Appreciate the article - I looked up some of these properties, and wow, each that I Googled (Newcastle, Bristol City, Edinburgh) looks so old. The 1990s are calling! Are these Marriott history museums? In all seriousness, glad to hear that renovations will be happening - if that's the case, it seems like more of a push for Delta brand recognition in the UK as they also could have renovated to current Marriott standards.
