elevators?
On my 3 night stay there were no running elevators 2 different nights and 1 morning. It seemed random and there was the people at the front desk just let clients stand there wondering what was going on until they gave up and walked over and asked. I had to find the stairs on my own.

Rooms and hotel were a little dated and old versus other Westin locations. Electricals in the room were extremely loud which led to having to sleep without air con and having to remove mini fridge plug.
However, Ben on front desk is great and Bar Cicchetti food and service very good.

I have stayed before and it is certainly adequate. It is located ~ 1.5 miles from convention center and surrounding businesses. The staff are not overly helpful but certainly pleasant. Because it is not centrally located, dining options are limited. Bus lines are convenient if you do not have luggage. Lobby music drifted into room but quiet over all.
