The food court also houses Panda Express, Nathan's Hot Dogs, and an Italian eatery that serves pizza, pasta and salads. The Fat Burger at Morongo never disappoints and is constantly as good and maybe slightly better than the one in L.A.

25 minutes was all it took for us to order, grab and scarf the delicious and juicy morsels down our throats. The gaming floor wasn't too crowded which got us psyched because usually its a packed house.Soooo to quiet the growling in our bellies and our itchy trigger fingers we slipped out of the hour long buffet line and made a beeline to the food court and Fat Burgers. Thursday night is their seafood buffet but the line was just too damn long for me and my partner and the slots were screaming to be played. Parking is always hard to find on the ground level but we didnt have to wait too long tonight. This hotel is fine, and although the customer service was great I don't think we will be back.Got a hankerin for some seafood and slots so off to Morongo we drove. As tired as we were, I was grateful for his immediate attention. Minutes later he and two security guards went to the room and handled the situation. A man, I am assuming a manager, said he would take care of it. By 2am my husband went down to the lobby. Seriously? I wanted to tell the couple next door to 'get a room' but unfortunately they already had one and it was right next to ours!!! Thankfully my kids never woke up to hear the obscene noises. 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.
