I still maintain that the best Marriott CL is the one in Budapest. Beautiful patio view of Pest and Parliament, full meal and free booze. The JW in Mumbai is decent too. On the other hand, recent experiences at the JW CL in Chicago, DC and New Orleans leave much to be desired as the seating is generally inadequate. I can put up with lousy food, why waste the calories, but overcrowded lounges is what gets me.
The JW CL Chicago's breakfast is a zoo. There seemed to be a lot of 'guesting' going on.

I'd take an Element over most Sheratons any-time.
