The building is beautiful and has that classic Westin charm… but stepping into the rooms feels like you’ve time-traveled a couple decades back. It’s very dated, and unfortunately that showed most at night. Sleeping there felt less like rest and more like an endurance test.
I was in town for a the Floetry/ Raheem DeVaughn concert at Palace. This hotel was close and is a work of art. It's beautiful inside the lobby. I found it was quite expensive to stay one night. It was over $300 including a breakfast from restaurant menu. I was unable to use my Bonvoy bonus points or military discount at front desk. I had to call customer care or download app. The valet staff were awesome and friendly. They all provided excellent customer service. The front desk staff and manager, Fifi (Fitima) were professional and informative.My accessibility room was on 3rd floor. I was surprised the room was small (thinking of cost). My bed was so close to entry door....read full review
I was able to interact with about five staff during my one night stay and every single person was friendly and helpful. The hotel was beautiful, it was very clean. The restaurant had decent food, not out of this world. But again, the service was friendly and timely. The rooms were small but clean and well appointed, and as expected for the Westin brand. For me, the location was excellent because we spent the night to enjoy a show at the southern theater which is attached and makes it very convenient. The architecture and historical detail is beautiful. And I always appreciate when the hotel cellebrates historical stories. This one didnt disappoint there either....read full review
