Scanned the threads today and noticed that everyone recommends the St. Regis over the JW Marriott Essex House / Ritz New York. However, the St. Regis isn't taking points redemptions for my nights in May =/ So I'm left with JW Marriott vs. Ritz New York. This is a trip for my parents and I just want them to be comfortable (they're scared of big cities; ironic that they're going to New York, but they want to see a couple broadway shows) so I'll be using points for them so they have a little bigger room in these properties than what's normal in New York hotel rooms.
Things they appreciate:
1. The lounge (weekday trip so I expect lounges to be open vs. closed on weekends)
2. Views (Mom's a big view person)
3. Space
Based on this thread, leaning toward the JW Marriott Essex House. Should I be looking at the Ritz instead?

You might want to call into Marriott. I assume you have elite status. Sometimes there are errors in which rooms aren't loaded on Marriott. Case in point, the Renaissance Republique in Paris looked sold out with nothing but the penthouse suite available two months before I stayed there. I knew that was unlikely given it was over the holidays. By two weeks out, all of the rooms were showing up on Marriott.com.
I wish there was a way to 'watch' for open availability in case I want to switch from whatever people suggest -> St. Regis

yes, especially at this property. My wife was checking in before me and they would not give her a lounge key because I was not there.

You might want to consider a non-Marriott property, unless you're committed to using points. At least consider one not on your list. What about The Chatwal, Luxury Collection? Or the Trump International?

Thank you. Your grandmother is not right in my case. I can afford it but I refuse to pay $196 ( + tax probably)for four of us to have breakfast in the hotel.
