Headed to Xi’an in September. Have looked for current hotel recommendations, but haven’t found much in regards to Marriott properties. Leaning towards the Westin, but considering all the newer options, renaissance, ritz, w...is there a better choice?

Budget is flexible. I often like to have lounge access. Also pertinent that I am doing a status challenge for Marriott so looking primarily at those properties. Getting off topic, but I do see that the Fairfield has very cheap rooms; even if I don’t stay there, could I pad my Marriott nights a bit by booking a few nights there?
