Opened in 2020, this Marriott is 2mi (3km) out of downtown, near the airport and many of the big oil and gas company headquarters – making it ideal for busy business travelers.

No problem, there’s a free breakfast, you’ve got your own in-suite kitchen, plus there’s a free-to-use barbecue on site (just BYOM – bring your own meat).
