Surprisingly, I've never been to Marcus, Harwood Arms, or Sketch Lecture Room and Library, for that matter, so can't give my personal thoughts. Maybe I'll make it a point this summer. Still on a mission to find the best Mexican restaurants in town - they're few and far between.

Glad I'm not the only one who has been guilty of that...
Oh, thanks! I guess things that are more casual would be even better. FWIW: we'll be at the Rosewood, so walking distance is always nice. Plus our son, who's seven, will be with us.
Your location offers an embarrassment of riches, with respect to dining. You will be in easy walking distance of much in Theatreland and there are restaurants galore. If you like sushi, Sushi Hiroba is close. You've got Hawksmoor Seven Dials for steak, Dishoom for reasonably priced Indian food, Great Queen Street, a noted Gastropub that is very near. You have Lupita and Cantina Laredo in walking distance for Mexican, J Sheekey for fish. The list is endless. Might be a bit of a walk for a seven year old, but not too excessive. And that's only on the theatre side. Going towards Clerkenwell/Smithfield there are a myriad of different options.
Just looked and your hotel is very near Sir John Soane's Museum. Hope you get a chance to walk through there, if you have time. Fascinating museum and not to be missed if you're staying right next to it.
