"Just had a great stay at the Westin. From the lovely young lady at the desk who first greeted me to the gent who checked my luggage, staff is just top notch. The complimentary happy hour selection was a little limited (flatbread and pizza) but still thoughtful with a choice available for non-meat-eaters. The bed was so comfy I didn’t want to leave! The walk to the convention center was 20 minutes, very doable, and the water and Balboa park are even closer. I did ask to have the room cleaned...
