The walls are so thin you can actually hear what they are saying! By 1:30 in the morning the music had stopped but other noises began. Neighbors next door were talking loudly and playing music. We were exhausted from a previous late night and were hoping to be asleep by 10:30. No pool is deeper than a few feet so it feels geared towards the little ones. Pool was crowded but nice - sandy beaches and a lazy river. When I got off at the outlet the driver confirmed he would be back in an hour and he was. Shuttle was easy to get and I was told it ran on the hour. Husband and kids enjoyed the pool while I took the shuttle to the outlets. An odd choice knowing that families will be staying there. A frosted glass window separates the shower from the bedroom which although pretty, was pretty see through. 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.
