I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the positive side, the pool area was spacious and relaxing, and the rooms had a beautiful view from the balcony. However, it was frustrating that the service was really slow, particularly during check-in, and I felt ignored at times by the staff. Overall, while the views were a plus, the service issues detracted from what could've been a great stay.

I recently attended a Christmas party at this hotel, and I can't say enough good things about the staff who truly went above and beyond to make the event special. The venue itself was nice, and the food received high marks. However, my earlier experience checking in was frustrating due to room readiness issues and communication lapses, which significantly affected my overall view.

I recently stayed at The Westin and had quite the mixed experience. While the staff was incredibly accommodating and went out of their way to help, my check-in process was painfully slow due to understaffing, especially with multiple large events happening simultaneously. The rooms were nice and spacious but had some maintenance issues that detracted from the luxury feel I was expecting. Overall, despite the beautiful property and excellent pool area, the service shortcomings and communication issues put a damper on my stay.

Our stay at the hotel was quite mixed. On the plus side, the location was perfect for visiting Legoland, and the property is beautiful. However, the check-in process was painfully slow, and the room we received didn't meet our expectations. Overall, it felt like a luxurious hotel but fell short in several service areas and room amenities.
