Having lived in that hotel for six months, it is by far one of my favorite Ws and I often go out of my way to stay there (so much so that i'll commute to Santa Clara from there).

The staff is generally helpful, upgrades are quite plentiful even as a Gold, they don't bend you over for parking like the W in SF, the rooms are all Suites and it's right next to a nature preserve which can be fun in and of itself. Plus, what other W can you stay at on a Weekend for around $100?

True it's not your standard W, but if you want the W experience and like the idea of an isolated weekend, it's a great choice.
