Give the Westin Diplomat a try in Hollywood!

What were you experiences and which would you recommend?

In particular how were you treated as an SPG Plat member.

All feedback gratefully received

I looked at the same dilemma this past summer and opted for the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood, FL and got the huge corner wrap-around balcony and awesome lounge access as a SPG Plat. Totally enjoyed it but the beach and the pool area was getting worked on so "no beach access" and you had to go around/down the street. Other than that - the property, pool, exec lounge and lobby areas were totally 1st rate and I highly recommend the property!

Granted, I only stayed there 1 night after being in Orlando, Miami, Key West, Key Largo and our last night in FL was at the Westin Diplomat as we flew out of FFL the next day.
