"(Frankly, given the widely available reviews about the W=A and their lack of Diamond recognition, why anyone would want to stay here is beyond me, though I understand the idea of a prestigious name and enhanced security features here.)"
Many good, useful points, JD, but IMHO opinion your parenthetical one is the most on-target. Having stayed there once (which was enough) and read others' reviews, I think that at least some of the folks who stay there are those who haven't been there before and are unaware of better options with less prestigious names.
