StR charges for rollaway, so while DS is still travelling with us, there's a hidden cost!

I want to try the Ginza Edition maybe next summer. I remember looking at the Edition (TS) - the double bed rooms were not available on points :-(
The TS EDITION is not worth considering on redemption IMO. For category 7, I really think it’s either the NY EDITION or JW Essex House. If you want to be close to Central Park, JW Essex is your only real option at cat 7.

Fwiw, I think the JW Essex lounge breakfast is disgusting
