I asked him if there was an alternate amenity or waive the resort fee, and he looked blank, no dice. After we checked in and discovered that the Jacuzzi here is closed and the pool is cloudy, no way do I plan on paying the resort (loosely said) fee. No water in my room, no " thank you for ten years platinum" I believe that this is my LAST stay here. Shame.
If you are at the Westin Mission Hills (not the Villas) then the standard plat alternative amenity is $5 off your resort fee. Pretty lame but that is what I have gotten there now for a few years.
