We went on 12/30 for my birthday, the weather was perfect!!!!!! not too cold not hot , sun was out and people were able to enjoy the pool (im assuming it was heated) the hotel was filled with vacationers and they were getting ready to host a NYE party in the lobby/ lounge with full on DJ and everything, it looked like it was going to be a great time, i did not stay for that but we are definetly thinking of coming back for NYE next year.
as always the JW did not disappoint. Clean, accommodating, and luxurious .
They extended our check out free until 130pm , which was a huge plus.
There are 3 or 4 restruants on the premises and they all looked busy and yet not busy. just tells me it was a hit i did not have time to eat there as we had dinner reservations elsewhere. also there is a Mortons steak house across the street and a Ralphs or Vons if you wish to fill your refridgerator in your room .
theres live music in the lounge in the evening and big screen tv to watch the games .
the gondola boats are a plus and gives something to kill the time. theres also a buffet and lots of games and arcades for the kids if you have them. enjoy !
