"Fantastic visit as always"

I have to visit MDA once a month and we always stay at the Westin. From the time you drive up, to the time you leave, you are treated to a wonderful visit. The valet service does a superior job and is always so accommodating and professional. The front desk couldn't be more helpful and the rooms are always spotless and comfortable. The food and cocktails are on par with a fine dining experience. The shuttle service to and from MDA couldn't be more perfect, just know that they run on the 1/2 hr. All and all, we honestly couldn't be happier with the fantastic service given throughout the Westin In Houston. Thanks to one and all there! See you soon!
