Reviews

Horrible people answering the phone

by Nejolla

I had to alter the reservation of my stay at the hotel. I needed to prepay in order to bill my client rather than pay at the hotel. So I made a booking and prepaid through hotels.com and called the hotel to cancel my other reservation.

A young woman answered the phone and was instantly rude to me. I told her I did not want to talk to some call center overseas but to talk to someone at the hotel directly. She told me their front desk does not take calls. Ridiculous! So I asked to talk to the manager and was put through to Sanjit. He was also initially condescending to me. He cancelled the one reservation without any issue. When we discussed the concern with the operator he kept asking what I expected. I expect that any hotel has enough staff that understand the concept of customer service, This westin certainly needs coaching from the top down because it is sorely lacking.

quick business trip

Nice clean hotel in the heart of downtown for our training course. Easily walking distance to the downtown restaurant row.
Our room looked recently renovated and there is a Keg and Starbucks in the building for convenience.
A nice weekend stay
