Loved everything about the stay. Renovations were going on which we did not know so it was a little out of sorts, but it was okay. Parking is a chore and valet is expensive. Staff was great. Door lock was missing so it looked a little rough but it scanned just looked very broken. Staff is always A++++. Super comfortable room - love the new couch. Convenient to everything. Love the ambience on the riverwalk worth the $$$

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The best thing about this hotel was the staff. Usually, Westins are great. Unfortunately, this particular stay was one challenge after another. First, we were notified 2 days before arrival, the roofdeck pool would be out of use (the pool deck and a few drinks outdoors were key in picking this hotel). Staff was kind enough to waive $130 fee for our 4 day stay. Then, the room had a strong cigarette smell which was then masked with some chemical cleaner resulting in a string cigarette / chemical smell mix. Could not change suites as the hotel was full. Lastly, on our first morning, there was a water leak just outside our room resulting in an industrial fan being placed just outside our suite and running 24/7 for our entire stay. Needless to say, the noise was not conducive to any peaceful night sleep for 3 out of 4 nights. So overall, it was one issue after another. Again though, the staff were really great and friendly. (Pics are time stamped starting the first morning with fans running for 4 days non stop).
