I ve stayed at a fair number of Westins including 2 others within 20 miles of this one and on a ranking scale of Westins 1-5, this one is about a 2 as I m not sure it s possible to have a 1 star Westin. For reference The Westin St Francis in San Francisco is a 5 star Westin, and the Park Central is a 3.5-4 star Westin.

One would think during a pandemic they d be on at least their B game but fellow loyalty members don t expect much here. Don t expect them to value that you have 100s of nights in their properties. Don t expect the halls to smell like anything except weed, even after you complain about it, don t expect parking to be a reasonable price despite the lot being empty (pro tip there is street parking for free near by), don t expect clean grout in the shower, and finally don t expect a plush bed as saggy and well used will have to do.

To sum it up, stay at the Aloft next door. It s nicer and cheaper.
