QUICK BKK HOTEL QUESTION

[JOKER]

Gentlemen

I have narrowed it to 2 hotels for my 3 to4 night stay in BKK,before my assault on Pattaya. The Landmark or the J.W. Marriot . read the reviews on the Marriot but saw nothing for the Landmark besides their website.Both 5 star so questions would be guest friendly.I plan on reserving a suite or deluxe room so price is not a problem and I am on the reserved side so no swing from the chandelier type women,Thanks in advance,

The Marriott is the nicer hotel.  Both are guest friendly.  I think the Landmark is closer to a 4 star hotel.

Joker,

 

I agree with Top Dog The landmark is not the hotel the Marriott is. Girls love the Marriott .

[Jimmybb]

Hmm,...I thought all girls just loved the Nana-it's so close for them to get back to work after an interlude there, and all the tg i have taken there just love to watch me kick all the cockroaches away from the door so i can get into my room. ;DJames

James what I ment to say was the Girls Love the Marriott 2nd to the Nana of course ;D

 you can save half the price of the Marriott and get a room just as nice at the  Grand President on Soi 11 for 60 US per night.  Internet in room and every room is a suite, and actually bigger than the standard rooms at the Marriott, which are 140 US per night.  The Omni, which is near the Marriott, is  50 per night for a suite and has broadband for my laptop, which is an unbelievable convenience.   why pay twice as much when you can get a room just as good with more room and better conveniences?

Bob and everyone else thanks for the answers.Bob I have read the reviews and see the differences of the tower selection with the prices I see on the internet I might as well get the Grand suite.Are the suites located in the connected building 1 and 2 or across the street in tower 3 which I have read is nosiy and rundown.I thank you in advance .

JOKER,                                                                              I have stayed in Tower 3 twice in a Topaz Suite. I never found it noisy. I understand there can be a noise problem with squawking birds in Towers 1&2. Tower 3  is certainly not palatial, but I would regard it as comfortable.  :)

If you stay at the Marriott, remember that the bathroom floors are all marble.  When you take a shower, the water can spill out of the shower stall onto the rest of the floor.  It you're not careful, you can come back half drunk at 3 AM, go into the bathroom, slip on the water, and break your neck.  Be careful...

 the 'new'  building is the one to stay in if you can; not sure if it is  called 1, 2 or 3.   and I am not trying to talk you out of the Marriott; their rooms are certainly beautiful  but seriously are smaller than the GP.   I think you are paying for the name and the lobby there more than anything. I was in one of the rooms recently with a  date visiting  a friend who was staying there and I couldn't help but think 'this is nothing special, especially for 6000B per night'.

Even though I don't stay in hotels of that price range, I went to Landmark to check out a room.  They told me the joiner fee was 1000 baht which is what I was paying for my room at the Grand Inn a couple of minutes away.  Of course the Landmark is much nicer.

A friend of mine recently told me that JW Mariot and Landmark rooms could be had pretty cheaply through priceline.  Might be worth checking on.
