I expected better being Westin
Bathroom shower was dirty, looks like it wasn’t scrubbed in weeks. I informed the front desk guy and there was no solution. All of the ceilings were messed up especially in the pool area. Pool water was clean but pool area was dirty and no towels readily accessible by your chair.
