Looking for a good somewhat non-touristy area that is close to the tube. I am currently Plat but will most likely drop to Gold by the time since i did not re-qualify last year. I think this will meet all of my needs?

Not done xenia but I’d take Dixon over st ermins any day of the week but I will concede st ermins location is fantastic. I hate st ermins rooms though, enough to make sure I never return
rooms = Dixon wins, probably one of the better marriot hotel room wise in London in terms of size and being brand new
location = st ermins
St. Ermin's Hotel, Autograph Collection has small rooms, especially if you're dropping to gold by the time of your stay. I couldn't imagine spending 4 days there with my parents, especially with one bathroom.
On the other hand, are you getting one or two rooms? Points or cash?
What do your parents want to do and see?
You might want to check cash rates at the Marriott Maida Vale and the Marriott Regent's Park.
