I agree with you on everything above, except I have never had to wait in line when checking in at the Westin. On the breakfast buffet, it is disappointing and well below that of the Hilton Garden Inn's buffet. Mushy scrambled eggs, fatty bacon or sausage, tasteless skin-on potato pieces, and overcooked stewed tomatoes or mushrooms are the only hot (actually lukewarm) items.
