Thanks, I am aware of the awkward location of these hotels. However I want (a) a comfortable hotel and (b) one for which I do not have to fork out obscene amounts of cash.
Being a SPG/Marriott Platinum member, I know that I can get a good room with very possibly a good upgrade, complimentary breakfast and lounge access AND pay using my points (without, repeat, an obscene amount of money and even more obscene Indian taxes)
PS. I know I could book the Park Hotel also with SPG points, but while it does have a great location, the rooms are generally bloody awful.
