Best value and conveniently located Marriott properties in Asia?

I’m looking at my travels to Asia so far and I find that I tend to go to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Singapore, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, and Tokyo. If I were to do mattress runs in these citi, which ones would you pick? If you are staying and looking for value in a convenient location, which properties in these cities would you pick?

KL because there are lots of properties there and it’s cheap.

Sorry, but what’s LM?

Depending on where you are based you might prefer Indonesia for the cheapest mattress runs in Asia. KL is pretty good though...

I read about Indonesia, but there are couple of problems. Unless things have changed since I was in Indonesia, I need a visa. I prefer a city that have a rail connection to the city centre.

Hi,

There are several Courtyards in Hong kong ( inc one at Sha tin) which might be reasonable. I'm not sure I would go just now due to the small potential risk of disruption due to demonstrations but summer has highr risks of showers /typhoons . I went in the first week of December last year and loved all the decorations

Regards

Hi,

The courtyard HK ( on Connaught Road) will be more convenient ( it is a bit west of the Macau ferry terminal on HK island) but with 2 subway/ metro stations near by. The other Courtyard ( Sha tin) is a bit further out.

A bit? It's probably an hour on public transport to TST or Central. 20-30 minutes without traffic in a taxi.

It is a decent award category 2 option with lounge if you want to do a 5 or 10 night stint to get a lot of cheapish nights in...

Hi,

Thanks. I did not think it took that long to Sha tin on the train from TST ( in November I was at the Hyatt TST and took the train to TST, walked passed Snoopy World and then explored the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monestary ( a good workout climbing the stairs) but given the additonal walk to the Courtyard , aan hour would not be too far off

Gotta love Surabaya. Cheapest Marriotts i found so far. 30$ a night. Great at the beginning of the year to get the nights up.

Wow, am I reading this properly? That Marriott is a Category 5?
