Inside the Westin hotel was a very good experience. While the hotel appears older on the outside, my room and the hotel itself had an updated feel. Most important to me was this Westin s policy to allow pets without charging a fee - this is smart business on their behalf and much appreciated. I also found the staff to be very professional and friendly.

There is a downside to this hotel that is beyond the hotel s control but relates to location. Next to the hotel is the Congress Square Park which predominantly serves the homeless population and I was inundated with requests for contributions every time I left the hotel. Worse, the car next to mine parked inside the hotel contracted garage was broken into and the glass sprayed all over my car as well. While this may not be an issue for some travelers it is a consideration.
