The issues is that Amsterdam hotel rates are very high in late April/early May...

Yeah, there is a points+cash option at the W but it's not amazing value 10,000 pts + $ 180 USD.

I don't have to come back to the hotel, of course, it would be nice, but not a must, I assume I can find places to lounge / take a break? I'm not really there to spend time at the hotel. I could maybe taxi there and back in case I need to?
