Nice hotel

We called before arriving to ask about the incidental fee, was told it was $150. we checked in , I got a email stating the hotel held $300. we asked and was told in person a different price. The morning of checking out the hotel ran my card again for another $300. when I received a email stating it was a zero balance. The room was nice but the cleaning wasn’t 100% we went to use the ice bag and it was filled with water. The bathroom had a half used water bottle under the sink. Also seen hairs around the toilet. Other than that it’s a very high end hotel and loved the stay, very comfortable! Front desk were pleasant as well.

Uncomfortable bed , the TV turns off on its own every 30 minutes or so. The toilet made loud noises. Parking was very complex, expensive and a headache. We could not change the room temp below a certain temperature which wasn’t good for my health condition. No free WIFI

The lobby is gorgeous, restaurants were so good, the staff were decently nice. BUT the rooms are small, no one came to clean our room or restock towels. The floors were gross and we really needed them swept or vacuumed. The doors are SO thin, could hear CLEARLY other guests conversations while walking to their room all hours of the nights. The beds are not that comfortable.

The staff was excellent at check in, and even overall the entire stay.. HOWEVER... cleanliness..? No. The floors were gross at check (hotel room), not vacuumed or mopped. The tables in the room also had crumbs all over it. The bed was comfortable.. and the location was close walking distance. Other then that... it's okay.

Disliked: Amenities
The room service in the hotel was terrible. The food was like take out and not very good. The free included breakfast was cold when we received it and also not very good. It’s not what we expect when we stay at a Westin. The best thing about the hotel was the bed, which is always a guarantee when you stay at a Westin. Overall we were disappointed.
