Excellent Experience
I had the opportunity to stay at the Westin Charlotte while attending a wedding in the Queen City. I requested a city view room on an upper floor and was accommodated. The checkin staff was very nice and helpful. Now I had stayed in the Marriott the last time in Charlotte and to my surprise, there was no comparison. The Westin is my new favorite. I even enrolled in Starwood Preferred Program. The only issue was that there were a few people in front of me and only two Starwood folks on the desk. It took about 15 minutes to check in. 
The lobby was open and spotless. The restaurant on site was convenient and reasonably priced compared to usual hotel restaurants. The rom was large and very comfortable. The bed was very plush and my wife and I slept great for three nights. 
Thanks Westin. I will now expect all Westin Hotels to be comparable.
