The staff was exceptional and made the difference. The small beach was perfect for my toddlers. They had a great time and so did we! The proximity to the great restaurants was perfect. We will definitely return.

The hotel is in a great location, less than 10 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes to the stadium and minutes away from great restaurants and bars. Our room had an incredible view of the water. The room was very clean. Great lighting for women to do their makeup. Full length mirror for dressing. Noon check out which is nice. The staff was helpful and very friendly. I literally didn’t have any even small issues. I’d stay again. Read less

I stayed at the Westin this last weekend for my birthday. My experience was horrible. The hotel is definitely not a 4/5 in my opinion as someone who has stayed in over 300+ hotels. I checked in and provided my debit card for the security deposit. I was told that I can park in the garage at no charge. I came back to the hotel after a night out and… Read more
I stayed at the Westin this last weekend for my birthday. My experience was horrible. The hotel is definitely not a 4/5 in my opinion as someone who has stayed in over 300+ hotels. I checked in and provided my debit card for the security deposit. I was told that I can park in the garage at no charge. I came back to the hotel after a night out and came back to the reception for a garage key (since I left mine in the room). The next morning I decided to use the gym and afterwards I was locked out of my room. I went to the receptionist and was told I am locked out because I did not pay $21 to use the garage. Keep in mind, I have already spoken to 2 front desk agent that never said anything to me. I was told that I had to pay to get my key reinstated. I asked to speak to a manager but apparently the 2 people I was dealing with were managers.. I was basically given an ultimatum to either leave the hotel or be escorted to my room so I can get either cash or my debit card to pay. I could not believe what was happening at this 4 star hotel. I will never be back here and I hope someone at Marriott see how I was treated. It wasn't my mistake that 2 employees working the front desk never mentioned the garage fee or took down my debit card when I checked in. They could have easily given me a break over their employee error instead of giving me an ultimatum. Such poor customer service from a 4 star hotel... Read less

Booked a three night stay but checked out after the first night. The hotel is dated and did not even come close to meeting the requirements of a 4-star hotel. Is that a Forbes rating?

Booked a three night stay but checked out after the first night. The hotel is dated and did not even come close to meeting the requirements of a 4-star hotel. Is that a Forbes rating? Having worked in hotels for many years, I am quite versed in the expectations of a 4-star hotel. This Westin would be lucky to get a 3-star. For the most part, the staff was friendly, but the male, front desk agent, could use some serious lessons in hospitality. I would not stay here again, nor would I recommend to a friend. There are way too many better options in the area. Choose wisely! Read less
