There is a bus stop just outside the hotel with several lines that take you into the historic or city center (you can purchase single-ride tickets from the driver). Overall, a nice stay, but not much of a choice if you're looking for Marriott properties, it's the only one in Lyon.

Introduction This was my second stay at this Marriott. There are not a lot of choices in Lyon when it comes to big hotel chains, besides the obvious Accor ones. Location It's located by the Rhone river, in the Cité Internationale complex, right next to the Parc de la Tête d'Or. Some might say it's not convenient but it's easily reachable by car and by public transport. 3 bus lines run by the hotel:- C1 which will take you straight to the Part-Dieu train station (about 20min)- C4 which will go towards Jean-Macé area- C5 which will take you to the presque'île and Hôtel de Ville, which is more like the old town and the shopping and tourist area. (about 15min)You can get a 24h ticket for EUR 6, 48h for EUR 12. Check In Check-in was smooth and easy. I booked 2 rooms, 1 for myself for 3 nights and 1 for my sister and her friend for 2 nights. The rooms were ready when we arrived at 1:30pm on Good Friday. What pleasantly surprised me is that they upgraded both our rooms from Standard rooms to Executive rooms, on the 6th floor, facing the parc. I would not like the rooms that face the inner courtyard... you basically have a view on the opposite room and I'm sure they are darker as well.Platinum benefits were also extended to both rooms. That was a very nice surprise: free breakfast, late check-out and free mini-bar in the absence of a lounge. The mini-bar was said to be replenished every other day only but it was a hit and miss. Mine was replenished on day 2 already and not on day 3. Room Big bright rooms. The king size bed is made out of 2 European twin beds. It's super big and they put a comforter on it so you don't feel the separation at all. Very simple decoration, but who cares really. There is a balcony as well, with a chair (why not 2?) and a small table. But it was sunny every day and there is a glass separation that surrounds the entire building. It felt a bit like a green house.The ventilation and AC were not working. I had to call the front desk, which said "oh we need to activate it on request". Which they did for the other room but mine never worked... I didn't bother, I just opened the door in the evening. But I sure hope they work well during Summer, otherwise it's quite stuffy.The mini-bar is stocked with Cokes, Coke Zeros, Orange juice, still and sparkling waters and beers. Bathroom The bathroom is big, with shower and bath tub. There are bath amenities for the bath tub, and refillables for the shower. The other room did have the support for the refillable bottles but the bottles were missing. So they had to use the small disposable ones from the bath tub... Dining Breakfast was good, not amazing. I would not pay EUR 24 for it. And it can be super crowded very quickly. The staff was doing their best to keep it well though. The queues to the 3 coffee machines were driving me nuts, I hate waiting for coffee :-)Cold cuts, scarmbled eggs, bacon, pancakes, beans, potatoes and tomatoes. Bred, pastries, fruits and other yogurts were available. Overall I would come back again if the price is right (paid EUR 108 per night). And the location is just perfect for me. Away from the crowds and tiny rooms in the center but easy to reach by bus.Parking is EUR 17 per day.

There were public transportation and road closures for the Bastile Day celebration and fireworks while we were there, so we took Uber and taxis to get around.

Rates were low despite it being a holiday. We were upgraded to a pretty spacious junior suite that was in good condition. The room faced the interior courtyard, but we weren't there during the day and didn't mind. We didn't have time to get breakfast, but it is served in the restaurant on the lower level. The helpful concierge made us a reservation for dinner at a great restaurant (Comptoir Abel) after we asked for recommendations at check-in. He also arranged a taxi for us.

Lyon was a really fun place to visit for two days, and I would return to this hotel if I pass through again.
