Yes, new information. Definitely the Ren out of the two the OP is considering.

For someone with mobility issues, the best call might be to pick one of the more resort-style hotels (SGS, Pen, etc.) and plan to spend most of your time on property.
I couldn't even imagine my mother in Bangkok, as she also has some issues with walking more than a couple blocks. I think it's going to be quite a hassle for the OP to rely on door-to-door transportation in Bangkok.
