Fairfield by Marriott Yiwu

Good location, new building near shopping mall and restaurants

As a first trip to Yiwu, I wasn't sure of locations, and arrived at another Marriot. However, eventually made my way to Fairfield (by Marriot). The location was somewhat further from Yiwu International Trade City than I would have liked. The room was spacious, the staff attentive and friendly. However, the pool was not as advertised (it was a quasi-public pool in the vicinity), and the rooms were surprisingly noisy. Late evening and early morning my sleep was disturbed by what I could only describe as a herd of baby elephants, the sound emanating from somewhere either beside or above my room, thunderous enough to wake me up. First time I have experienced this type of noise incursion in a relatively modern hotel. Apart from that, I had a vast expanse of window space to take in the view of courtyard, adjoining shopping precinct and some mountains in the distance.
