We stayed at the hotel from Friday to Sunday and experienced two different themed rooms: the Polynesian Room and the Space Room.
The biggest issue throughout our stay was the elevators. They were constantly busy, and it seemed like staff, room service, and bellhops were all using the same elevators as guests. I really think the hotel should have a separate service elevator, as the wait times became frustrating, especially during busy hours.
We also found it almost impossible to reach the front desk using the room phone. Every time we tried, the lines were busy, which wasn’t ideal when we needed assistance.
We paid extra to upgrade to themed rooms, but honestly, the Polynesian Room wasn’t worth the additional cost. It feels very dated and in need of renovation. The room itself is quite cramped, and the lower bunk bed has an extremely low ceiling;even a child could easily bump their head getting in and out. The air conditioning vent blows directly onto the top bunk, making it uncomfortably cold for whoever sleeps there. We also had trouble with the curtains, as the blackout curtain was difficult to operate.
On the other hand, the Space Room was a much better experience and ended up being our kids’ favorite. It appears to have been renovated, the bunk beds are much larger, and there’s enough headroom to sit up comfortably. It felt much more modern and functional.
Despite these issues, the hotel’s location is fantastic and is really what makes it stand out. Being inside West
