That mall is connected to yet another huge mall, which is more middle-class and has a more local feel.

The Westin has the same owner as the Sheraton so without SNA will only upgrade Elites to Junior Suites by default, which is just a larger corner room. The Club Lounge here is one of the best that I’ve experienced anywhere with very friendly and proactive staff. Happy hour is from 5 to 8pm with food served from 6 to 8pm. There is a live cooking station and plenty of hot dishes and a decent selection of alcoholic drinks. Breakfast is at the lounge by default or you can choose the restaurant breakfast as your welcome amenity. YMMV but by the second stay they’ve let me have breakfast at the restaurant while still letting me choose the 1000 points.
