i've stayed at all of the above

they're all, simply, excellent

it really boils down to location- to make your life easier

the RC and FS are in walking distance- so its a toss-up

maybe there are more/easier cabs at the RC?

(if you are hiring a car and driver, or your contacts will always pick you up, this is a non-issue)

i actually prefer the JW Marriott- club level- just because it is easy to walk to interesting areas

i think you'll be happy wherever

but a funny story- i don't think the FS is in the greatest area- if you like to walk- like lots of auto repair shops/scooter dealers

so at the front of the hotel two gentlemen are getting into a rolls

as i walk around back, vegetables are being delivered from an oxcart!!!
