buffalo_bill Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 The Westin is not a nice hotel , I would choose the Landmark because it has the best atmosphere to my opinion . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 why is the Westin not nice? at least refurbished some years ago while the Landmark is getting pretty old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchapstick Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 If the fitness club is important to you then I would avoid the Landmark. Fitness First truly sucks (loud techno crap, lots of posers hanging around, crappy equipment). The JWM has a much nicer fitness center and a good pool. Rooms have been recently renovated and are very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 The Westin Hotel is a hotel that starts after you have used the elevator which is stupid . There is no lively atmosphere , from the bar you can look into concrete walls . No like . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Fully agree about the stupid layout at the Westin. The pool and fitness room aren't very good either. SGS or the JWM are better choices. I'd suggest a 1BR at the Jasmine for this price, if they had a bigger pool and access to the adjacent gym (maybe they still do - I don't know). Edit: I just remembered that The Jasmine has the same elevator/lobby setup as The Westin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Didn't you say Jasmine is no longer guest friendly? Is the new Grand Millennium guest friendly (I'd think so, but can't say for sure)? Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
