30th year wow .. it's definitely time for an update!
The rooms are huge but the carpets & furniture are definitely showing its age and in desperate need of renewal. The pool looks inviting but it was too chilly to have a dip. My friend who picked me up & dropped me off each day had trouble finding the place the first 2 nights but we finally got it on the 3rd (+ last night) of my stay. Can't comment on "value for money" because I used a "Friends & Family" rate. I'm not sure if I'd stay here on a regular room rate. Will try the JW at LA Live the next time I visit. But I have to agree that not having free wifi in the lobby or business center isn't cool. And yes I read the managers response with regards to this in a prior post. Ho Hum.
