My stay at the Westin did not meet my expectations, especially given the anniversary celebration I was looking forward to. While the valet was very nice and accommodating, the check-in process was quite disorganized, and we had to deal with noise issues and a lack of communication regarding our room. The room itself was decent, but overall, I left feeling frustrated rather than relaxed, despite some positives from other amenities.

Rooms

6.0

The room we ended up in had a king bed, but there were no tubs in the new building. The fit and finish issues were noticeable, and the room felt a bit dated and basic.

Service

5.0

The service was lacking during our stay, particularly at the front desk where check-in was chaotic and understaffed. I found the desk staff fairly unhelpful in addressing our concerns about the room.

Location

5.0

The location had potential, but due to the large wedding parties, the ambiance was affected. The noise in the lobby was overwhelming and detracted from the overall experience.

Dining

5.0

I didn't have a great dining experience as the snacks were hard to obtain and the food I encountered was overpriced and not up to par.

Facilities

5.0

Although the hotel had nice amenities, such as the spa, the lack of staffing made them hard to fully enjoy. There were times when services like shuttle were unavailable.

I had high expectations for my stay at this hotel due to its new branding and price tag, but I was left underwhelmed. While the room was spacious and modern, the service did not meet what I consider standard for a Westin. The lack of communication and the noise from other guests detracted from my experience. Overall, it felt more like a struggle than the relaxing getaway I was hoping for.

My recent stay at The Westin had its ups and downs. While the beautiful lobby and spacious rooms stood out, I had significant trouble with the staff's communication regarding parking and retrieving my belongings. The food quality was excellent, and I particularly appreciated the nice pool area. However, the overall service experience was quite frustrating and could use plenty of improvement.

Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and generally clean, but the service left much to be desired, especially during check-in. The location is excellent for visiting LegoLand, making it a convenient choice for families. However, the dining experience was inconsistent, and the overall maintenance seems lacking, which detracted from the experience.
