Where LV happens to put a store is not a way to judge a hotel. There are a lot of areas to cover when comparing hotels. I said "just about the best" meaning there are other hotels that are better in some ways. I see that the JW did have a renovation in 2013 that I wasn't aware of. So maybe it's in better shape now than it was before that. But it is kind of far from Old Town so I still would not want to stay there. Location counts for a lot.
