It is a casino afterall so the casino, elevators and basically everywhere but our room smelled like smoke. Check in was easy (Mai was great!) and we got a non-smoking room.
We decided to stay one night here with our two boys before heading home. JW is more upscale and has many more amenities. I can't really compare the two since they are entirely different types of hotels.
We stayed one night after having stayed 3 nights in Palm Desert at the JW Marriott.
