Luxury
"It's part of Marriott's JW luxury brand, and mostly lives up to expectations, but prices seem a bit high considering decor is a tad generic and signs of age are starting to show." Full review

Guests here choose between studio and two- and three-bedroom units, though the 700-sq-ft studios are larger than many area hotels' standard suites and one-bedroom time-share digs.
