“Consistently Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

We've stayed at the Westin Colonnade five times and always find it a wonderful experience. The beds are dreamy-comfortable, the staff really nice, the food good .... and we love the location for both business and pleasure travel.

We really enjoy Tarpon Bend Restaurant just down the street, productions at the Miracle Theater, movies and art at the Coral Gables Museum, Books & Books (where on one night we were there a wonderful jazz band played in the courtyard as we enjoyed a late-night snack and drink).

The mettle of the staff was tested on our last visit (mid-January 2013) when I left my iPad in the room. I didn't realize it was missing until we were just boarding flight home. Given the quality of the staff, I knew it would be safe.

Immediately upon my realization I had left it behind, my husband called the hotel spoke with Rachel Guerra at the front desk, who coordinated with housekeeping supervisor Maggie Flores, to locate my iPad and ship it back to us. We live outside the US and provided our address and our FedEx account # ... they did the rest and were as gracious and efficient as could be. My iPad is safely home with me now.

My husband has business in Miami in February and has booked a week at the Westin Colonnade. I will join him his last two nights there. We look forward to our sixth stay.

PS Four-legged guests are welcome, too!

“A great hotel in a fun area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

We loved this hotel and will stay there again when we go to Miami. It is close to the airport and located right by the Miracle Mile. We found lots of fun bars and great restaurants within a couple of blocks of the hotel. The staff was great to deal with and very helpful. The workout facility and outdoor pool were great. Our room had a small balcony which was a bonus. We'll be back!

“Great Location...Great Hotel...Great Time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

We spent the weekend at this hotel looking for a nice, comfortable place to stay while visiting for a University of Miami vs University of Maryland Basketball game...the place was wonderful!
The welcome from the Valet and Front Desk was warm - making you feel like they were expecting you and looking forward to your stay. All employees we came in contact with were helpful and seemed to truly understand what hospitality is all about. Starwood does a great job in training their staff.
Although there were weddings throughout the weekend - they were not at all intrusive with the non-wedding guests (they did a lovely job!).
Next time in Coral Gables, we will definitely stay at the Westin Colonnade!

“Awesome 2 floor rooms - but that was not all”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

The Westin Colonnade Coral Gables was awesome! The front desk staff was helpful and friendly the concierge was attentive - but not too much. The rooms were awesome - sitting room downstairs and then a spiral staircase up to the sleeping area and bathroom - I felt like a princess! I will stay here whenever I have a trip to Miami - I was sorry to only have the room booked for one night this weekend!

“Miami is hot, this hotel left me cold”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

I give the staff commendations for good service, but the hotel lobby, restaurant and rooms were too cold. Top that off with a luke warm shower and it wasn't a pleasant stay. Housekeeping staff were quite loud in the hallway and knocked on the door twice in the morning before we checked out. Internet connection was inconsistent.

The Front Desk staff, parking and concierge were all good, courteous and polite. Our bill was adjusted for the lack of hot water and sporadic internet connection.

Dear Debannie,
I want to thank you so much for taking the time to write a review and for your kind comments about our Front Desk, Parking and Concierge staff. I’m so sorry to hear that your stay was any less than our # 1 goal, which is to not only meet, but exceed your expectations. With your comments I will be going back to my management team so we can utilize to improve upon the service we strive to provide.
If your travels should ever return us to our hotel please feel free to contact me at rsoto@westincoralgables.com so I may personally see to the flawlessness of your stay.
