I am surprised this chain lends its name to this hotel: the front lobby is dark and impersonal, it's overly seaweed monochromatic theme is dull to the eyes and the hallways have cracked/chipped crown molding.
The positives: check in was easy and they let patiently waited for me to retrieve my bags before I self-parked (I was told valet is $40 a day!). The work-out facility is pretty decent with several cardio machines, weight machines, exercise balls, medicine balls and free weights. The equipment was excellent, but this Westin missed out again because the room was big and impersonal with harsh lighting. Personally, I love natural lighting in gyms, it's more motivating.
Like I said before, the rooms themselves were pretty drab; they tried to have a calm, inviting tone to the room but it comes across as tired and outdated. I had a huge room that dwarfed a small double bed; seriously, no queen-size available? The carpet had a large stain in the middle of my room and the seating area consisted of two tiny, uncomfortable chairs. The disproportionate relative size of the room and furniture didn't make me feel at home at all.
