I stay at the Marriott every year for a trade show. Agree w/ monitor re: location of Marriott vs. Ren. The concierge & exec lounge staff at Marriott are great.
WARNING: Do NOT pick the weekend of Sept 12th-14th for your AMS Do! The IBC trade show runs from the 11th-16th, and ALL the hotels jack up their rates accordingly. For example, both Ren & Marriott are 345-395Euro during the show. IBC has 40,000 attendees, so all the hotels book up & raise their fees.
Cheers.
