This hotel claims it's four stars. However, my experience here tells me otherwise. My expierence from start to finish was atrocious. The online booking process is deceptive. The website pictures the oceanfront Weston in Ft. Lauderdale and not this Weston. Upon checking in at the front desk, my friend and I jokingly mentioned this and the individual at the front desk remarked, "you'd be surprised how many people book this hotel thinking it's the other Weston."
The above isn't why I sat down to write this review, but it begins to illustrate the ultimate downfall of this hotel: unfounded pompousness from staff and disrespect for their customers.
The hotel is lovely appearance wise. It's clean which is my primary standard. However, upon checking in and investigation, the lack of amenities show. There are no robes, no slippers, no storage space, no luggage racks, no shower curtains, and no washcloths to name a few things. There is also absolutely no room service. This is referring to food, but the front desk also refused to even bring us up another blanket and towels. In fact, upon calling the front desk, I was met with an attitude for even having the request.
Here my BIGGEST issue as if things couldn't get worse for this "four star" hotel. While my "do not disturb" sign was up and I left for dinner off property, staff entered my room. I know for a fact someone was in my room because they turned down the tv from 20 to 5 on the volume and moved around my items. My dog was also closed in the bathroom while I had let her free roam. The closet was also open which is where the safe is located. The bed was also turned over for the evening. The fact that staff did not respect the sign and from what appears to me, brazenly looked around my belongings, is a giant breach of privacy and further testifies to the lack of regard for their customers.
From start to finish, this hotel made me feel like a nuisance, unheard, disrespected, and unwelcome. Nothing about this hotel reflects industry standards for hospitality. Externally, the hotel is clean and attractive. However, it is the staff, deceptive advertising on the website, and lack of amenities that make this "four star" hotel two stars for me. I thought about giving this place three stars, but quite frankly the customer experiences I've had at three stars hotels were better than here.
TLDR: don't come here if you want to experience industry standards for an actual and legitimate four star hotel.
