The amenities are slim and the hotel is definitely not up to the Westin standards that I used to know. The pool area and hot tub are not clean or inviting. There is no inviting place to sit and relax. Everything needs an update.

Not up to usual standard

After talking to three people, who promised action, our safe was not fixed or replaced. Our room was not cleaned the first day we were there. The gates to the parking garage didn’t work right, and they finally just left them open. We stay there every year, and this time was definitely not good!
