I stayed in the Marquis very shortly after it opened. The hotel was spectacular. More recent posts suggest the hotel has sadly not been able to keep up that quality of service. People seem to still like the hotel, but the hype seems to be from those of us who stayed a year or so ago.
And you will likely agree that if the OP's mom has mobility problems there will likely be issues walking from the Marquis to the BTS. The hotel has a tuk-tuk for the route, but using it requires a timing and logistics effort that is more than most want to coordinate on vacation.
