Westin Key Largo
Anyone been there? I was suprised to find no comments anywhere on this property? Urgent replies appreciated, as this is sort of a last-minute thing.
All comments, including Platinum treatment appeciated.
Thanks in advance.

Stayed there in Sept. on a $30 priceline rate. I called the Platinum SPG desk prior to arrival so the hotel would know my status but I wasn't expecting much on a $30 rate. Upon I arrival I learned I was in the "Hammock Suite". It was a very large suite with a jacuzzi bath. Very nice. A tin of key lime cookies were sent up along with a letter from the GM. I was very pleased.
The hotel itself is just ok. My room had a heavenly bed which was a plus. The whole place is pretty tired. The pools are nothing to write home about and the "beach" is a joke.
Unless you are diving or boating Key Largo can be a pretty boring place to be. We stayed here as a stopover returning from Key West.
Hope this helps.

I stayed there in August and agree that it's long overdue for a renovation. Staff wasn't too terrific either: wait staff at the restaurant was unbelievably slow, housekeeping seemed to overlook the debris littering the walkways to the rooms. It didn't deserve to be called a Westin, more of a very basic, old Sheraton.

Ditto.
Blow it off. Stay in Miami or Key West.

In my opinion, it's nothing to write home about. Stayed there for 3 days last year. No visible Starwood benefits. I'm a platinum member.
