Overpriced and Underwhelming
“Decent Stay, But Hidden Fees and Aging Amenities” My stay was overall okay, but a few issues stood out. First, the $50 valet parking fee was excessive, especially since there was no self-parking option. On top of that, an undisclosed $25 destination fee appeared on my bill, which felt unnecessary and misleading. The room itself was fine for a one-night stay, but it was showing its age. The TV didn’t work properly, which was frustrating. Thankfully, it wasn’t a dealbreaker since I was only there for one night. While the location and staff were fine, the hidden fees and lack of transparency left me feeling disappointed. I’d recommend this place only if you’re prepared for additional charges and don’t mind some outdated features.

2/10 Poor

Sewer gas smell!
Checking-in was great, staff very good. The room was average, unfortunately, I didn't get back to the room until after dinner and the sewer gas smell in the bathroom was horrendous! Checked out early morning for my flight. Told front desk rep about the sewer gas smell, really no help as he offered to have security check it out?? No offer to help offset a terrible experience. Buyer beware.

Look elsewhere, unless they renovate.
Service was good, but the rooms and some common areas were worn badly. The room's AC wasn't working upon arrival and the carpet looked decades old. We were surprised at how there were few amenities in the room. At least the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean, and the location was great (scenic, walk to cafes/restaurants). We won't stay here again unless Westin invests the money to refresh this hotel.

Ok, but didn’t live up to expectations
The hotel was ok, but did not met expectations. It is clearly older and need of updating. But we followed this stay with a much cheaper hotel and it was so much better. It’s seems the Westin is old school and thinks the price is justified because it is a big hotel with amenities. Overall, it was ok, but was kind of a left down. - showers were tub based and old - wall cracks - not dog friendly, thought it is supposed to be. Walking the dog was far away down an unlit path. Very strange. The staff was nice (except one person at check in who seemed to think the conversation with another employee was more important). housekeeping was very nice.

We were there for a conference and it was within walking distance to the Amelie. There are a lot of options for dining, and we felt safe walking every where. The only downfall to the Westin was the cost of parking per night 50.00 plus tax.

Great location
Excellent location!! Right on waterfront near some pretty good restaurants within walking distance. The customer service was great didn’t have to wait too long to check in and they were very accommodating with My mother’s wheelchair/scooter needs. Since we were obviously traveling out of state, we had a scooter delivered for my mother and as we checked it the staff brought it around to us. There is a $25 resort fee. You have to pay each day that you were there. The hotel does it give it back to you in credit to use for breakfast or other restaurants on the premises. This would be ideal if we could use it for the marketplace to buy drinks like water. We did use it for breakfast. Breakfast was amazing. Great options for all dietary needs however they do charge an 18% service charge so it’s just a way for us has been more money at this hotel. That’s really the only thing that I really don’t appreciate which is why I can’t give a full five stars but my favorite part of above house was the beds.
