We began our flight from the US on 9/16 and arrived in Prague at 11 AM on 9/17. Our room at the Prague Marriott had a city view, 2 queen beds, and lots of space. The daily breakfast (included) was excellent and service throughout the hotel was great. We were greeted at the airport by a girl with a Scenic flag, were escorted to a taxi, and our hotel room was available when we arrived, we checked in, put our things in our hotel room, and ventured out.
The Marriott is within walking distance of everything in Prague. The Old Town Square is nearby (8 minutes) and all one needs to do is look up to see the spires and walk toward them (the old Clock Tower was being restored while we visited). There is a nice grocery store next to the Marriott and many good restaurants nearby.
Our Prague Scenic guides had a desk in the hotel lobby and gave us advice and easy-to-follow directions for our independent exploration. Czech currency is the "crown" but most places will accept Euros, and our guides steered us toward reputable currency exchange locations.
