The hotel was very clean, and the installations were well maintained. The location is amazing for visiting the museum district and even has some commercial food options in the surroundings. I was very pleased with my stay.
We came in for a quick weekend stay and were not disappointed. There is a free shuttle that will take you to local places within the area of the hotel so you don’t have to worry about parking. Staff and service was excellent! Highly recommended!
Room was nice and clean and housekeeping was great in keeping room maintained. We did room service and it was pricey but service was lovely. Shuttle is great from hotel to Rice…not so great from Rice to hotel. Overall, positive stay.
I had a great stay! I checked in Saturday night after attending a wine festival and needed a convenient place to stay before work on Sunday. The hotel was right across the street from my job, which made it the perfect location. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the shower was spotless. The complimentary bottle of wine was a thoughtful touch and made the stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again!
The pool was beautiful in the morning with a view of downtown!! The room itself was stunning and perfect for a hotel decorated room ! I recommend the suite it has more than enough space for two ! And it is very nice for a staycation!
Everyone at the front desk, throughout the hotel, and in the restaurant were extraordinary. I had a spectacular experience with server Marianna in the restaurant— one of the most professional, friendly, genuine servers ever
She is truly a great Ambassador for the Westin
The property was lovely and felt luxurious. The room was spacious & immaculate. We worked out in the gym, sat out by the pool & used the free shuttle to MD Anderson. We loved the location! We also enjoyed a delicious dinner at Terrace 54.
I booked the room to visit a friend who was at Houston Methodist. The hotel is located within walking distance. They do offer a shuttle to different t parts but I never used that amenity. The room was clean and the shower was great. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d recommend staying here for others.
