I am afraid that I did not like this place. The wait to check in was a long one, and the people at the check in counter were quite formal, and a bit cold. Also it was a hike of a long distance to my room. I am a platinum member and would have expected a bit better. The best part of the whole thing was a long walk along the Atlantic beach which was nice.

Their Carolina Room restaurant I thought was rather stiff and formal. I am a single person who travels alone, and they did not seem to quite know what to do with a single at dinner, especially one dressed in blue jeans, but that seemed to be the norm for the place. There really were no other restaurant options in the evening except this one, at least when I was there.

Although I cannot attribute it necessary to the Westin or the restaurant, I also came down with a horrible case of food poisoning, and spent most of the day in my room, trying to stay hydrated.

I'm sure many people liked this place, but for a single senior, who was hoping to have a good two days to walk the beach in a friendly atmosphere, it was a big disappointment.

Incidentally the information on this hotel states that there is free parking, which is not true, as it is included in the resort fee of $25.00 a day for self-park.
