We stayed here over the summer and were looking to spend some time at the pool. The pool is not much bigger than a kids pool. The hotel also reminded us of an old haunted house with all the large pictures and empty hallways (summer). The room was a notch below the Westin bit still nice. We did have a great view of the Valley, you should ask for a room with a view.
This is much more of a business hotel. Its close to shopping and movies.
