I attended a medical conference at the Westin and boy was I disappointed. Since I am from West Virginia and had never been to Key West I thought by their website that this would be a great place to attend a meeting. The room rate at a "discounted" rate was over $300 per night. I was flabbergasted when I signed in at the front desk. I have stayed at the Ritz Carlton In Miami in the past at a lower rate and this "resort" is nowhere in the same league as the Ritz. As soon as I walked in to sign in and saw a very small room I know immediately I was going to be disappointed. The hallways were in need of painting and carpet looked as if it was at least 20 years old and needed replacing. My room was on the par of Motel 8. I had a "balcony" room which actually was so small and my view was a "bush" almost entirely hiding any landscape. I cant believe anyone could give this "resort" anything above a 3 star rating. The only positive thing I could say about this hotel is its location. Was very conveniently located but again was nowhere near as luxurious as advertised. I would never recommend the Westin for anyone.
