My wife and I came to Houston for a weekend get away. Chris greeted us at the door and we instantly felt at home. Wait, then we meet Whendy and she was great. We talked about what we like and they made great recommendations ( Irma’s, Osso, and Vic & Anthony), the rooms were great sheets pressed very clean nicely decorated. This is the only hotel that I have saved to my TripAdvisor app and we travel all over for our son’s football games. Thank you again Chris and Whendy.

This was not a typical hotel stay. My daughter had just undergone a craniotomy and 2 other surgeries at one hospital and we needed a place to stay for two nights before she would be admitted to another hospital for further treatment. Since our home was not yet set up to be handicap accessible, I tried to book a hotel room through another property first which was not open for regular business at that time due to the Covid 19 pandemic. However, the General Manager reached out to their sister property,the Westin Downtown, to see if they could accommodate us. Not only did they have a handicap accessible room available, the General Manager, Chris Ziadie, made sure we were well taken care of. The room was perfect!! It was handicap accessible and located right next to the elevator. Whendy was there to greet us at our late check in and even provided a parking space right in front of the entrance! These ladies went above and beyond with the care they showed us during our stay and I can't thank them enough. We will back for a weekend stay to celebrate when my daughter has finished treatment!!…

Every time I stay at the Westin in downtown Houston, the staff is always very accommodating. But the person who always sticks out the most is Whendy. She is the best person I have ever met in customer service and you can tell she really takes pride in her field. She always makes sure that the guests will have a pleasant stay. She is always in a great mood with a smile on her face which is very welcoming. Definitely five stars in my book.

I have stayed here before and despite being very weak on Marriott Elite recognition, they run a good ship. The rooms are spotless, ceiling fans enhance the climate, sheets are crisply ironed, front desk and valet very friendly. The breakfast Buffett is also very tasty and inexpensive.
