Don't get me wrong I like Westins that's why I stay there and this one was the cookie cutter brand. The reason I'm writing a review is because the food was so horrible (with the exception of breakfast). And when your stuck there and they charge so much for it you think they would do better. They make it sound... More

We got a reasonable rate via Expedia. The hotel and room were first rate; however, parking was an additional $12.99; internet service was an additional $9 and use of the fitness center was $15. Although the hotel offers a business center as an included amenity, it is closed during the weekend. Had the business center been open, there was a... More

Very spacious. * Good HVAC system: maintained a consistent temperature and the AC didn't click off and on, which can be annoying. * Westin beds are always nice: big and comfortable. * Though I didn't use either, the room had WiFi...
