Choose neighborhood and station access first. Price matters less if the hotel creates long transfers every morning and evening.

Choose with intent
Start with the travel decision, not the list
Use the directory to compare stays, food, and experiences by how they affect route, pace, and evenings.
Save restaurants that fit the day's neighborhood. A good meal works better when it sits near your real route.
Choose fewer stops with clearer reasons. Temples, museums, and day trips should earn their travel time.
Do not build the trip from a long saved list. Lock city, area, and pace first, then let places support the plan.
