Does anyone have experience with the Courtyard by Marriott on Axel-Springer-Strasse? I will be visiting (for the first time) in February and see they have good rates.
Thanks much.
Thanks much.

When you walk out the front door of the Westin, head left - walk one block to Charlottenstrase, then turn right, and walk one more block (you will be walking in front of the facade of the Regent Hotel). Cross the street at the corner, and you are there.

You will also notice that, by clicking on each station's name, a map of the immediate area is displayed. For example, if you clock on the Franzsische Strae (U-Bahn U6) link, you will see a nice map of the area immediately around the Westin.
.
Also note: In addition to the above web page, there is a paper version of this guide, and it has the added benefit of a map of the S-Bahn/U-Bahn system marked with the stations that have elevators etc. The map is called the Berlin Mobilittshelfer - you should be able to get it at a BVG ticket/information office (I looked but could not find it online).

(It's a fairly big file, so be sure to save a copy so that you don't have to download it every time)
Also, these other sites show you the various stops on Line 100 and also show information on which lines can be transferred to at which stations, etc.:

(click on Route 100 on the right side)

Lastly, a webpag with some tour ideas (you can certainly mix and choose to suit your needs and interests):

I thought that I looked through everything on that website, guess not. The map is perfect. I was able to zoom in on the center bus routes and print out the map in color. I'm ready to go, now can you do anything to keep the weather mild?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Glad to have been of help - I'm sure many of us will be interesting in hearing a report when you get back - both your general impressions, and also how well the BVG and other facilities handled your needs.
Safe travels!

As you know, I haven't been to the Westin yet but what I have consistently read is that there are several room options. The less expensive rooms are smaller and older. The renovated rooms, which are higher priced, sound more desireable.

Rooms at the Hilton are for sure smaller. Though, if you want to invest the extra dollar for upgraded accomodation, the view from the Hilton is spectacular.
