The Bad
Despite the hotel's generally high approval ratings, this property received its fair share of complaints. Many guests were disappointed with the prices that the hotel charged for a range of services. Some guests also expressed their concerns over the condition of the hotel.
Guests that felt that the property was overpriced did not typically complain about the room rates. Guests who complained about the prices at the hotel usually were unhappy with the prices that they paid for Internet, parking, and food.
Consider what the following guest had to say as an example: “The room price was good, but when you factor in the $24.95 buffet breakfast and $14.95 per day internet charge, much of that value I received (was) lost.” Another guest was disappointed that he could "get free WIFI at McDonalds yet" not "at a 4 star hotel...they also (charged) for parking." These were not isolated complaints but rather examples from a large volume of complaints that all referenced the prices of the hotel's services.
Guests that were unhappy with the condition of the hotel often implied that it was not up to par as a Westin property. A couple guests felt that the hotel was overrated as a four star property while another guest said the hotel needed "brightening up to meet true Westin standards."
