Great staff,pool, bed and location. We used the trolley to get around town and rented a car for one day from the Westin to check out south beach and hard rock casino, had i good time and stayed five nights.
Positives: The staff was friendly and very helpful and had a great view of the ocean...
Negatives: The bathroom wasn't very private but I was OK with it.

I would highly recommend this hotel/beach resort to everyone. Friendly staff, clean, close to restaurants, bars and shopping. Valet parking is high. The walking bridge to the beach was convenient and safe.
Positives: Great location! It is placed far enough away from noisiness of the bars but close enough to still walk to.
Negatives: Restaurants were quite pricey, but most hotels are pricey. There were great restaurants nearby to go to.

The place was great in every way except for the fact that it is valet parking only. Every time<BR/>I needed to get something out of my car<BR/>I had to go to the valet attendant to get the keys. Then return them after my trip to my car. The room was great. The beach access excellent. Never ate at the restaurant so i can't comment on it. Overall it was a great place to stay, and<BR/>I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Positives: The beach access.
Negatives: Valet parking only,

The staff is so very helpful and friendly. The the view from the room was phenomenal and the walkway from the pool deck to the beach is the absolute best.
Positives: I
Negatives: The elevators to the beach area are a little scary and slow. I just crossed the street on the way back from the beach.

Nice location on the beach 3 blocks north of Beach Place, Nice rooms with heavenly beds, very tiny pool relative to size of hotel with not enough lounge chairs to accommodate at either beach or pool! But please build a larger pool, it is not good.
Positives: Nice location, rooms great, Don Shulas restaurant very good, woman who cleaned room on 12th floor fantastic.
Negatives: No balcony to dry swimsuits or sit, pool size is tiny relative to 2 building hotel size, not enough chairs at beach or pool.

Valet took our car on Wednesday and it was returned with a flat tire and the transmission was messed up. They didn't even bother to call us and let us know the tire was flat and let it sit.
Positives: View
Negatives: Everything

Loved everything about it. One odd feature, though in my room. The wall that separates the bathroom from the bedroom was a half wall The top half was a shutter style door that you could leave open or close(?).I thought this was strange, but I was travelling by myself so it did not matter. Not very private sound-wise if you are two people sharing a room. There was no practical reason for this feature.
Positives: Excellent location for the beach plus retail and restaurants. Close to public transit to Los Olas Blvd.
Negatives: An odd feature in my room. One wall of the bathroom was a half-wall enclosed with a shutter-style door. Not very private.
