This is not Westin level quality. Do yourself a favor and never stay here. The whole place smells moldy and looks dirty. Marriott needs to rethink the “Westin”tier for this hotel. I’m stuck here because I used my BonVoy points. Huge mistake. Never again.

Hotel staff at front desk and the Pub restaurant were super friendly! We were nervous after reading recent reviews staying here. We picked this Westin for location! The Pub in the hotel has great food for lunch and dinner! Several other restaurants in walking distance. Rooms for a party of four are smaller with double beds! Overall nice hotel and we would stay again!

This is by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had. I love traveling and staying in hotels. We traveled for a conference and had a total of 10 rooms because we were taking a HUGE group. We booked all the hotel rooms ahead of time and got confirmations for each room. When we arrived, there weren't the total number of rooms we needed in the system. The man at the front desk was passive aggressive and argued continually with us even though we had printed confirmations from the hotel, showing that we had that number of rooms. After 40 minutes, we finally received the keys to all of our rooms after being made to feel horribly. After traveling hours from out of state and the front desk fiasco, everyone got to their rooms and every single one was dirty. Multiple rooms had blood (yes blood) on the sheets. One room was completely trashed with food everywhere and hadn't been cleaned at all. Most rooms didn't have towels at all or only had a 2 (we had 4 people sharing per room). My room had pubic hair on the bathroom floor and sticky hand prints all over the wood closet door. We called housekeeping several times, told the front desk several times, and nothing was done. One room got new sheets but they were brought and sat on the floor in the room and weren't even put on for us. Most of the rooms we had to just stay in dirty because nothing was done about it. There is an obvious mold/musty smell that makes all of your clothes damp and stink. We had a 4 night stay-- so not having clean rooms was really difficult. For how expensive it is, and being connected to a conference center... it sure read like a pay by the hour motel instead of a supposed 4 star hotel. This place needs shut down for unsanitary practices. All of the women at the front desk were so nice and helpful but often it seemed like things were just out of their hands. I wish I could remember their names because they were so sweet and helpful. It was only the man that was the worst. Housekeeping needs a serious overhaul and taught how to appropriately clean and sanitize a room. All of us came home and had to wash and sanitize everything that was in those rooms because of the filth.…

This was the saddest Westin I've have ever stayed at. The place was worn and dirty. We stayed four nights and had to beg for towels and the trash to be taken out. The sheets were NEVER changed and the room NEVER vacuumed. My stays at Motel 6 were better than this. The pub attached to the hotel was it's only saving grace. Don't stay here if you can avoid it.

The first room we were checked into had a wad of hair in the shower & no washcloths at all. 2nd room had ripped sheets & Dirty floors as in candy from last guest in floor. 3rd room had multiple hairs on sheets, only 1 washcloth & dirty floors. We finally ended up in a 4th room and went to bed. AC wouldn’t cool well at all. Woke up to bites all over my legs. Another guest was complaining of bedbugs in front of us the next day as we were leaving!

Room was outdated, dust and mold as you can see in the pictures- mattress looked clean, but there was no mattress cover just a “pad” no what you would expect from a WESTIN definitely NOT worth the money. Also, was only given 1 towel, 1 face cloth and 1 hand towel. 1 shampoo and a lotion?

For a four star rating, this property falls very short. Not only was the service poor, I. E., Given information was never put into the record and my booking and bill were wrong even after I tried to correct it. Theproperty itself is shabby. I have never stayed in a hotel where my sheets were ripped and layers of dust on chrome and scratched and unpolished wood. It was very disappointing. I even went down and showed the picture of my sheets to the clerk at the desk and, although she said she would notify someone, I could tell by her expression that she wouldn’t. In addition, the pillow cases and dust ruffle were stained and had had noticeable red marks. Just about everywhere, the carpets looked like they needed cleaning. Elevators for shabby. I could go on.

Stayed here for a convention. Start with the bright spot: Beniesha. She was the housekeeping supervisor we interacted with. She is by far one of the best I've met, going above and beyond what her job would require. She deserves five stars. We and others waited for a few hours for a room to be ready even though we came at check-in time. We paid for parking in addition to what we were charged each day, being told they would remove that charge at check out. They refused. We had a broken toilet seat and when my wife went to report it, the person at the desk said she'd take care of it, writing nothing down. The phones in the room did not work and if we used our cells there was no answer. What saved the day, see above...Beniesha. What was the worst was check-out. I asked for an itemized bill. The very rude front desk person said she is not authorized to give us a bill. That I would need to go to the Sheraton next door and talk to the manager there. I did that. He said the bill is paid and would not provide such a bill as my company was covering the bill. Now my own credit card is charged in addition to my company. Think twice is you wanting to use this facility and the convention center. …

It was probably not a great idea to stay there from the start where weeks before my arrival I tried to call the hotel to ask some help with specific arrangements I needed and I had to call multiple times over a number of days before I was able to reach somebody. When I arrived at the hotel this week I was underwhelmed by the overall rundown state of the hotel, the furniture was worn the carpet was worn and much of the furniture in the lobby was stained. I stayed here because I have status with Marriott and thought it would be a treat to stay at the Westin hotel versus the lower end hotels in which I typically stay. I thought I would be in for a treat of some sort with a business lounge and a higher level of comfort. I found the overall service to be mediocre and special requests were unable to be accommodated. When I had called initially I was trying to get the name and email of the manager and nobody was able to provide that. It feels after staying there that there is no manager. and if there is a manager, that person is not doing a great job overseeing the maintenance and service of the hotel. I definitely learned that if I am back in Birmingham, this is not the hotel I will stay in.…

If I could give zero stars I would. Absolute worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Rooms are filthy, front desk staff is the rudest in the United States, they have threaten to have Secuirty remove people from their rooms that have reservations, remove people from booked upgrades due to the overbooking, you can call the front desk for hours and they will not answer, they will come into your room with a DO NOT DISTURB on the door, then to you that you need to get out because you don’t have a reservation, they are unaware of putting you in that room in the first place, random charges on credit cards. The list goes on. First a foremost - customer service is a 0. Front desk goes straight to attitude and to throw you out for their mistakes. Good note I did finally see them actually using a vacuum for the first time after staying in the hotel for over 2 months. Sadly this hotel is in a booming part of a city that is thriving. They need to be trained and held accountable for their jobs. Corporate should have gotten involved a long time ago.…
