craz...thanks for the exhaustive analysis of the Park Lane!! I'm taking my virgin trip to London in April and several weeks ago, I booked a week's stay at the Park Lane sight unseen. I looked at all the Marriott properties online and liked the location, the fact that it was new/renovated and the number one reason....got to have high speed Internet access, especially in Europe.
Sounds like I may have lucked out here.....
