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.

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.

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.
