I don't mean to be rude, i know you're trying to help me, but if i didn't write that then you can safely assume i don't care and i'm good for anything even a $600 room if thats what you recommend, it's not like i'm asking for flight help and didn't say where i want to go

Nor was I trying to be Rude but to be Honest I was using your post and my answer to let others know that read it to SPELL it all out.

In yur case if $$$ isnt a problem then say so.Id think that for most people on here $$$ will be a problem.And if they werent looking for a Award stay = free night, Id suggest they go to www.betterbidding.com and www.biddingfortravel.com to see which Hotels people were winning and how much theyw ere paying and to go that route.

If a person really couldnt care then Hotel Europa has a great location and is the place most celebs stay when in AMS

If night credit or pts are important then theres a Renaissance a few mins from the Main train station, a Marriott by the museums as well as a Hilton, no Hyatts. and 1 SPG The Pulitzer that gets mixed reviews depending on what a person is looking for, its a apart of The Luxury Collection and having spent 4 nights there I have no idea why
