Great location and super clean!
Our stay was amazing! The location and cleanliness was fantastic! The breakfast was not good. Bacon was hard, eggs were overcooked and the service was a little cold. Other than that, we will be back!

Dodgers-Astros Game - Westin Stay
Overall was good. The only detail I’ll change for next time is to request a room in a higher floor and possibly away from the alley. We were on the 4th floor and we could hear a lot of noise coming from the alley. But that won’t stop us from booking again :)
