Thoughts on the Westin
We always stay at the Marriott and I was just told they can not confirm our four days there. I am so upset. They are offering me the Westin. Does anyone have any information about this hotel? Did you like? How was the food?
Thanks, Christine

Hey Christine !!
How excited are you guys ?!?!?!!? We're excited for you !!! The Westin is wonderful !! The staff is very pleasant & helpful. The food is excellent !!! We actually had dinner there Christmas Eve last yr !! The pool is awesome ! Nice big pool, bar outside & they'll serve you lunch out there also. They have an internet room, excercise room & more than one restaurant. The buffet breakfast is incredible !! The rooms were okay, nothing to write home about. We actually had to have our room changed due to the noisy discos @ night, but they took care of us, no problem. I would definitely stay there again NEXT TIME !!!!!!!!!! Hope this helps !!

Christine,
I haven't been on in a while, but I'm so glad to see that you finally got out of PGN and have PINK! Have a great pick up trip. Sorry, can't help you with the Westin, we only stayed at the Marriott.

We love the Westin
We stayed at the Westin a a few weeks ago and we loved it. The food was very good. They will help you order out any food you want too. We met a lot of other families in the famliy room, that we still stay in touch with. If you need a stroller they have them for free. Ask for the breakfast to be included in your rate. The family room is on the 6th floor. Some people say it is too loud with all the babies on the floor, but we didn't have that experience.
We are going to stay there again. Good luck! Mary

We stayed there for both trips, and had a junior suite on the Family Floor - we loved the Westin and everything about it. It was friendly, beautiful, lots of places to walk with the stroller, great pool and hot tub, and the most heavenly beds!!!! I would highly recommend it.

Westin
DH and I are here at the Westin now visiting our daughter.
Awesome is what I have to say! Everyone is wonderful, fresh fruit in room upon arrival, nice rental stroller, crib, ect. I have always been a Westin fan and this one takes the cake! Enjoy your time!
