The Westin is so amazing! I don't come from an economically strong background, so growing up I don't think my family could afford a place like this. And with that, growing up we didn't stay in places like this. Thanks to the conference i was attending I was able to fly out to San Francisco and stay in this lovely hotel! I think the only complaint I have (which is more of an interesting observation, and I've discussed this with friends of color who stayed with me [oh, fun fact I'm black]) would be the fact that I think certain people were overtly surprised to see me or my friends walking around the halls or on the elevator, and you can see it in their face, or hear it in the gradual silence that overcomes the elevator as you're being lifted to your for. I thought it was actually funny and pretty interesting to see faces react to a gorgeous, black Adonis (ergo me) walking for instance off the elevator and into the main floor.
