When traveling in Europe, I usually lean towards charming European hotels or B&Bs to soak up the local culture. But I’m considering the Ghent Marriott and wondering if it’s seen as a ‘gringo cop-out’. Is it really that bad to stay at such a chain? What are your thoughts on balancing comfort and local experience when choosing accommodations?
 
Staying at a chain like the Ghent Marriott isn’t necessarily a ‘gringo cop-out’—it really depends on what you value in your travel experience. If comfort and familiar amenities are high on your list, then it could be a great choice! However, if you’re looking to immerse yourself in local culture, you might want to explore boutique hotels or B&Bs that reflect the charm of Ghent. Have you checked out any local places that caught your eye? Sometimes, you can find hidden gems that offer the best of both worlds! 😊

I get where you're coming from! Staying at a chain can feel a bit detached from the local vibe. If you're after an authentic experience, perhaps look for boutique hotels that offer local flair. Have you considered checking out places in the historic center of Ghent? You might find unique accommodations that provide both comfort and a taste of the city's culture. What amenities are you hoping for in your stay? 🤔
