not excellent, not horrible. just very middle of the road mexican food with a slightly high price tag.
the made to order guac is always fun. the spicy isn't THAT spicy though.
pork tacos are pretty good, the fresh tortillas rock. the chicken tortilla pie got good reviews from my colleagues too.

A good place for a simple no-nonsense sandwich. Prime rib sandwich is a solid choice, maybe a little fatty, but so worth it. chips are nice and crunchy and the bread is pretty darn good.

A WONDERFUL place to host an event.

Atmosphere is amazing.

Banquet and service staff are excellent, as well as the facilities guys. So wonderful, helpful and attentive.

Food is pretty good, bar selection is great. REALLY fun place for a party.

I have no complaints about this place. It's a little dated, but the rooms are nice and spacious -- especially the junior suite with two closets and two bathrooms!

staff is very helpful, allow extra time if you want a cab though.

If I could give this place NO STARS I would.

Made a reservation in AUGUST for this hotel during a conference week. When I arrived to check in (after a 14 hour work day), they informed me they'd moved me to a hotel 10 miles away because they were sold out that evening... so my reservation got bumped because they oversold their rooms?

They gave me two free nights at the hotel 10 miles away, which saves my company money, but does nothing but add hours and inconvenience to my already stressful business trip. Oh! and to get me to that hotel, the $10 cab voucher they give me is supposed to get me 10 miles in LA traffic.

I usually LOVE the Westin, but from here on out -- I'll stay somewhere else. I'm completely disappointed in them.

I go for the sauces -- 'cause that's about all I can afford! :)
BWW has good wings but they aren't cheap. My favorite sauces are spicy garlic and medium.
Happy hour prices on beers are great, but they won't sell a pint of Stella, only a tall. Isn't that kinda strange?

When yet have a sale, it's a good one. Otherwise I had forgotten how pricey this place is.
Dress department is pretty great, large selection, all styles and age groups.

Hmmmm. Was seated right by the kitchen so heard dishes clanging through the while meal so that ruined it a little bit.
The house red wine is nasty, stay away. Chicken Marsala and manacotti were great. The rigatoni and linguini puncanesta were bland.
