i called the hotel first, using skype telephone to establish that rooms were still available for my dates. i then bought the vouchers. i called back again to make the hotel res for which you have to have the voucher numbers.
we saved $280 on a 5 night stay against the res rate i already had for a nov stay. i should point out that my original res which i made on 12/29/11 was for about 1/2 the rate published today, so the savings are fantastic---maybe $1000.
Bob, I can get this J W at Khao Lak for the New Year holiday, using points. Gotta make a decision fairly soon, before the deal disappears. roosevelt hotel new york Did you see that Marriott is now offering, on the site, $ + points deals?
Marriott is not offering the cash and points deal like Starwood does. You have the option of paying cash or points roosevelt hotel new york for any particular roosevelt hotel new york day of your stay but not cash and points roosevelt hotel new york for a particular day. Its a step in the right direction but not quite there yet. I would like to see them do it like Starwood does.
Peter I have eaten at the Muse a few times. I find that the hotel has a small common area (lobby etc) and realistically only one restaurant only. I felt "cramped" when I was there but I did not see any of the rooms.
I checked out the Muse on Trip Advisor- and I agree its too dark, not very appealing in my opinion. The Marriott on the other hand looks very nice - but there were some problems recently - see the trip advisor posts- Bob make sure this does not happern to you!
