Personally, I would avoid the Ritz Central Park and the Chatwal. Going off Marriott for cash stays is also valid imo. IMO Marriott is the strongest points chain in the city but it still does not have the best hotels in any price/vibe category
Wow, I had assumed most FT'ers think the Chatwal was the best Marriott property in the city.

We are 3 adults, so upgrade to suite is a huge consideration for our travel.
