| - I've had better hotels, it's OK here. It's very clean and green, which is a great plus. The decor is a little sterile for me, but that's their "thing". Very clean lines and not a lot of clutter. It had all the basics, showtime, refrig (big plus for 115 degree weather), in room coffee, very weak! should have Starbucks!!! No cafe or place to eat within the hotel. Had to go across the street to strip mall, food was good there, but the mani/pedi at Red Persimmon SUCKED! The hotel was awesome because I was using my Starwood points and was supposed to pay a portion out of pocket but when I checked out, I guess I got an upgrade and I didn't pay anything, for that reason ONLY I'm giving it 3 stars. There is NO bathtub, but the rain shower was amazing, but didn't have a lot of pressure. I didn't use the gym but it looked really nice - nice new equipment and glass enclosure. The thing I love about Westin is the Green Tea scent - I actually went to Nordstroms and bought the poupurri (spelling???) I love that scent!!!
There is a free breakfast every morning but only from 7-10 - ummm hello -------- I got back to the hotel at 5AM both days so I kinda missed that - but it would be great if they served all day, after all IT IS VEGAS. Even the Subway at Monte Carlo served a breakfast sandwich all day. They had a snack pantry and it was like $1 for everything even water, which as you know costs $4-$5 in Las Vegas hotels. They did have a nice living room lounge with wii, but I didn't use it. They also had BBQ's outside. I don't think that anyone would want to be BBQ'ing in that weather.
The other downside is that it's so far from the strip and the directions are crazy in the GPS because of construction. It took me two days to figure out the 215 freeway system. I will probably not stay here again unless its free, but the gas you spend going back and forth to the strip negates the freeness (is that a word). I'll probably stay at Red Rock if I want to stay that far.
