Agree 100%. We have since stayed at a few other London hotels with the kids, but this remains their favourite. Step out of the hotel and you are looking at the Houses of Parliament, London Eye etc. A lot of tourist sites are walkable. There is an executive lounge, and we were able to get a room with two queens.

There are 3 other possibilities with kids, JW, good sized room, close to Oxford St and opposite Hyde Park. Large CL. Also Park Lane Marriott, corner of Oxford St, opposite Hyde Park, next to Marble Arch tube. Good, but smaller CL. Finally, left of field is the Cat7 Marriott Kensington, smaller rooms than others, nice CL, but also small, half mile from nearest tube, 20 mins walk to Natural History, Science and V&A museums. Another 10 mins walk to Harrods. It's advantage is Cat7. Nonetheless, I think your best bet is still County Hall...

Need recommendations with a baby, using Points. Stay in May for 3 nights.
Prefer:
1. Good breakfast
2. Room size, prefer crib
3. Will take cabs or tube for attractions as long as it is within reason 10 bucks or so.
4. Restaurants and pubs walking or within a short cab ride away (5-10 mins)
St. Ermin's got good reviews on tripadvisor, and people seem to prefer the JW here. So, thinking between those two. Note that the points room (deluxe) at JW does not allow for cribs (superior level and up does, so will have to gamble for a small upgrade). The lowest points room at St Ermin does allow for crib.

According to Marriott website, six category 4 Marriott properties in UK--none in London. http://www.marriott.com/hotel-search...els.Category4/
Cheshunt
Huntingdon
Leicester
Newcastle Gosforth
Peterborough
Swindon
BTW the UK Cat 4s are:
Aberdeen Airport CY
Bristol
Newcastle Metrocentre
Northampton
Preston
Waltham Abbey
Both Cheshunt and Waltham Abbey are a 15 minute drive to a tube station, and from there a 45 minute tube to anywhere central London. I've done this a few times from Waltham Abbey...
