We stayed one night to celebrate an special occasion. I did get a deal on Hotwire which brought this down to a reasonable cost so the price was right.
Check in- we checked in about 3:30 pm on a Saturday afternoon and there was about a 15 minute wait. Not an issue as we were not in a hurry but I was a bit put off by the fact there was several (meaning about five) staff members standing by in the lobby- not sure why they where there.
The room- we were in a standard room on the backside (facing away from uptown) with two doubles. The room was clean and the bedding plush. The view was good- pretty spot to catch a sunset and (distantly) the Saturday night fireworks show from Knights Stadium. No fridge but I believe one would have been brought to us upon request. Plenty of towels. No room service menu.
The area- The Westin is pretty close but not right in the middle of the action. As others mention the convention center is right there at the hotel. Also close by is the Gantt center and the Mint and Becthler museums. All beautiful buildings worth an admiring look.
Also, the deck area outside of the pool was a nice place to relax. Would have been better without smokers present.
Fine place, just not a big "wow" factor compared to other Westin hotels we have patronized.
