Also guide says cash is king and not many credit cards are accepted, especially Amex. I don't use my Amex but have a chase MC with new chip but no pin. Am I screwed?
How are you paying for the Marriott? The Ritz is right next door and very often has rates that are equal to or lower than the Marriott. Unless you must stay there, consider also the Hyatt nearby, but avoid the Hilton.
You will find Döner Kebabs at pretty much every corner. They were 'invented' in Berlin!
