sorry for the late review, but stayed here for 2 nights , booked the lowest category room using cash, as a SPG Plat, I received:
- Upgraded to a 1 bedroom corner suite
- Free wifi (just room charge it)
- Breakfast daily (platinum amenity)
- 4pm late checkout was offered(not needed)
the SUITE was HUGE!! very nice decor and the bathroom has a huge open view of GDL. I thought I was at a 5 star hotel when I walked into the lobby, even though it's a category 3. Everything from the service to the rooms felt like 5 star to me.
Easy of access from the airport.. $20 cab ride (all the cabbies know the Westin since it's the best hotel in GDL) Again, cab rides are going to cost $10-15 to the city center each way, so please be prepared to pay a lot of taxis as this hotel is nowhere near walking distance of anything. I walked a mile to Plaza Del Sol a few times which is Highly Recommended! It's a shopping plaza with tons of cheap eats. I felt safer walking day and night in GDL & the city center than in Los Angeles.. **GUADALAJARA IS VERY SAFE**
woke up late 2nd day for breakfast and had an early flight the morning of checkout, so I advised front desk, and they said they would give me the points. (was not able to utilize the breakfast)
I would definitely recommend this hotel for Platinum guests since the treatment was phenomenal.
