Excellent service and food with nice rooms\n\nDidn't realize the Westin Kierland had so much going for it.  Staying there, I was surprised how large the resort feels from the inside with the hotel, conference center, spa, restaurants, and golf course.  \n\nCheck in was a tad slow, but staff were very nice and asked questions to make sure the room would fit our family.  Being across the street from Kierland Commons allowed my wife and little girls to have something to do while attended to work events.  My wife, a connoisseur of fine beds, thought the beds were somewhat hard.  I thought it was perfect.  \n\nThe conference center is top notch in terms of a comfortable, classy setting with attentive services people taking care of you.  Caught myself pausing to take in the beauty of the resort's views a couple times.\n\nOne memorable things is the food.  The dinners were truly exceptional and the lamb shank is something I'll remember for a while.  Magnificent!
