The Westin Diplomat in Hollywood, FL was a fantastic property. Several pools offered plenty of places to unwind, and the beach is literally steps away. Rooms with views of the water cannot be beat. The decor in the lobby and in the guestrooms was well-coordinated, though it is a step below what you see at designer hotels.

The guestrooms are quite spacious. Bathrooms are large, with comfortable bathtubs and separate shower stalls. The beds are comfortable, as one would expect from a Westin. While my room had a balcony, the fact that I was on the 30th floor kept me from exploring it. If you don't mind heights, I imagine it's quite nice.

In general, the dining options were acceptable. The breakfast buffet is exactly what you would expect from an above-average hotel; there were no pleasant surprises. Hollywood Prime, the steakhouse, was a disappointment, though. The food was acceptable (not amazing), but the service was abysmal. I'd like to think I caught them on the wrong night, but I have to report what I experienced.

Our room was perfect in every way.. very impressed! The staff was always very helpful and nice. Pool area was fun and the workout room was well equipped.

Even for a nice resort, I feel the prices of food and drinks are too high. Poolside: $25 for burger and fries! $14 for a weak drink at the pool!

We enjoyed our stay and will return... great vacation!

1- could not check into our room until 6pm (not 4pm) rooms were not ready!

2- we paid for a deluxe king room and ended up with a SMALL standard double!

3- The bathroom door was off it's track.

4- The hotel staff acts like they are running a prison compound and not a resort..got YELLED at by a pool staff employee!!

5- Found the overall attitude of hotel staff could really careless about any problems we had!!

6- Our luggage never made it to our room..we had to go find it in the garage..and it was in 5 different locations!!

7- Got yelled at again checking out and going to wait for our car..because we were walking out the wrong door!!

8- This was our first and our LAST stay at the Westin!!!

  • Liked — Check out!!

I was there for a conference and found the hotel to be lovely. The beach area was very well-maintained. The pools were gorgeous and never that crowded. I loved the HUGE balcony that I had off my room-- great views in all directions too. I would not hesitate to go back here for a vacation. The only downfall -- no restaurants in walking distance.

The hotel was very beautiful overall, clean with an exotic tropical theme. Most of the staff very friendly (some of the Managers and Desk staff need lessons in tact, but the servers and maids were amazingly friendly and polite) I will not go into the numerous disappointment's of my stay... a few highlights.

1) do not expect to get checked in by the "guaranteed" 4pm check in... they do not honer it nor is it guaranteed.

2) plan on LOTS and LOTS of extra fees from internet access (not including the separate and extra fee to use to print your boarding passes) not to forget the charge for the use of beach chairs.

3) pricey? yes, its a Westin so expect overblown and exorbitant increased prices. but there was a VERY noticeable lack of service.

it was a very disappointing stay and unfortunately will never stay there again.
