Both the Ren and JW are terrific properties. You would be happy with either. The JW CL is spectacular. The Ren's is very good. The Ren has a slightly better location. You don't have to walk the filthy sidewalk under the overpass to get to the train. If it's raining, you can make it to the train barely having to be outside. The Ren rooms are, IMO, a little nicer, and people report getting more UGs at the Ren. As a Plat, I was on the CL floor, but in a regular room. As a PP, the Ren UGd me to a sweet suite.

All things being equal, I'd go with the Ren. But, again, both properties are awesome.

IMO, the FS is a little too far. But only a little.
