Excellent hotel that just opened up in this building!
I caught a glimpse of this hotel last time I was in town from the hotel across the street, so I was excited to stay here when it opened. Overall it met all my expectations!
The lobby is not the most convenient since it is on the 5th floor so you have to go up from the ground level to check in. However, the excellent service from the moment you arrive makes up for this inconvenience. I was greeted as I got out of my car (almost every time during my stay), greeted inside the street entrance, and then directed up to the 5th floor. Check in was very quick since I did a mobile check in and was directed up to my room.
The rooms are great as well. Obviously everything is new, so it has the mossy up to date modern Westin feel. Some highlights include the Keurig coffee machine, 2 little water bottles (which is usually standard at all Marriott properties), luxurious bathroom with rainfall shower head, and great overall design. Nice wood looking floors with a large rug and really cool lighting throughout the room which makes the room feel more luxurious than your typical hotel. Instead of a desk they have a high top table with 2 bar stools in the double bed rooms which I personally find more useful than a desk.
Amenities also look excellent. I had a chance to use the gym which was fairly spacious with many cardio choices, weight machines, and free weights. There is also a Peloton which seems to be standard at many Marriott properties these days too. The pool also looks great though it was a little chilly to enjoy it on my visit. It isn't very big, so I can imagine it may get crowded in the summer though the target clientele in this area probably are not here for a pool party.
Lastly the location is great! One of the most convenient choices for the medical center and on top of that there are literally a ton of food options on the ground floor of the building. With a walk around you can get cake, Greek food, pizza, and more. On top of that, they have a Tesla Model X SUV shuttle that can take you anywhere within 3 miles. I imagine the Tesla will be in demand as the hotel fills up, but it's been waiting there ready to go throughout the day. Parking is expensive, so I may choose somewhere else when I have a car, but parking is an issue for the entire medical center area.
Overall, it has been a great stay and I will try to stay again whenever I'm back in this area.
