Negative Reviews
negative:
Pricier rooms.
Given the location and demographics, the room might seem a bit expensive for some guests. Located near Stanford and within driving distance of many top technology companies, the Westin is a popular spot for high end travelers to stay which means prices are higher than other Westin locations.
negative:
Seasonally busy.
During the school year in particular, the Westin could reach maximum occupancy when Stanford's football team is playing at home - it's a good hotel if you're going to a game as everything is within walking distance and the school is adjacent to the hotel.
negative:
Standard hotel.
While the hotel is well cleaned and maintained, it is fairly average in design and amenities. For the price, you might expect more personalized service or unique amenities, but the provided services are standard Westin.
