Sometimes when you travel, everything goes WrongBy Madelyn Miller
On those days, I will always think of the Westin Tabor Center where everything seems to go right. From friendly, helpful staff to perfectly appointed rooms, each aspect of the guest experience is a ten. I am a critic. I am spoiled. So it is hard to please me. But even when I thought I had caught the Westin Tabor Center in a mistake, I was wrong. Someone had sent me a lovely cheese tray, but I had eaten a large dinner at the Palm Restaurant downstairs, so I saved it for an early evening snack the next day. Lo and behold, when I returned, the beautiful cheese tray was gone. How could the maid have cleared it I wondered, since it was still wrapped? When I called down to ask about it, the gracious front desk person said they wanted to send me another one since it was their policy to clear food that was a day old. WHAT’S SO GREAT Westin Tabor Center: At a Mile High it brings You Closer to Heaven A Guaranteed Great Night’s Sleep …In the Heavenly Bed. It’s layer after layer of cozy down bedding.
