We enjoyed our stay there in April. The Executive Lounge is quite impressive. Views are extraordinary and the variety and quantities of foods can carry you through the day. It's a bit far from the downtown, but you will want to see the historical district there. Just don't stay downtown or nearby. Our own experience at La Mar was not so great but that's a whole other story. Check out the reviews in Tripadvisor. com com for both the JW and La Mar.
