Then I would go with the Metropole - Club Floor, as it is one of the best, and even if you don't agree, the location is great. Just part with the money, this one time - you may get a deal from Tonkin, along with a driver...
the deserts are to die for ( nearly as good as Miccato in Warwick!!!!

Smeagol ...I could use something from Miccato tonight. After reading TA re the Marriott, I liken the location to that of the ANatara in BKK. Yes , some times an inconvience, but the creature comforts, and benefits of Marriott status out weigh the inconvience. Besides...if Linda and I want to go shopping we are not afraid to get in a cab and go, leaving the men to sip their beers. I think we will head to the old town for dinner most nights, and for a sight seeing, if we h ave a driver 1 day that will get HT to see what they are interested in. Then L and I can shop for a day.

Well, I finally had a chance to read the reviews of the JWM on TA. I do believe I would have a hard time not staying there even if I were going for the first time, especially on the Executive Floor (and had not stayed at the MP). Sounds like you have a plan and it should work out well - looking forward to hearing about this trip. BTW, I read your original post - 3 adults, one child? Is that child you or Peter?

Keep in mind that the hotel stay is as important as being in the center of things for some of us. As well are the hotel amenities and ambiance are important. And of course if one can use points it's another aspect.

I don't remember it being that long Bob but then I love to walk everywhere and I do remember we went for a stroll that night but as I said it didn't seem that far to me.
Good to see you are going with an open mind Bob
