The hotel is generally well-liked for its cleanliness, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff. However, there are frequent complaints about slow service, particularly in the restaurant and with room cleaning, as well as issues with parking and overpricing.

    I've stayed at this property for business purposes. This stay was personal due to having a family medical emergency. The staff was amazing and so helpful. I had to rush to my own cardio appointments and they let me have a late check out and took great care to keep my luggage safe while I continued with my health appointments.

    Staff charged me $300 without telling me, they asked for my card and I was thinking it was just to have on file in case I took some snacks from the room or something, but no they grabbed my card tapped it on the screen and $300 gone instantly and I had to wait 5 business days to get it back

    We loved the location and layout of the Westin Houston Medical Center. It was the perfect hotel for our group visiting for a a concert at Reliant Stadium. It was very easy to use the valet and uber/Lyft to get around town. The hotel smelled lovely and the staff members were great!

    I always walked past this hotel on my lunch breaks in the med center. I didn’t know it was that nice. It overexceeded my expectations. The front desk, housekeeping, and valet staff were nice. Parking is a hassle in the med center, but they do offer valet with in/out privileges. The fitness center and pool were great and clean. They do have a guest laundry room if you have time. Would rebook.

    This was a great choice for our long weekend trip to Houston. It is in a convenient location near the Museum District and Rice Village and while it is near several hospitals we didn’t find it to be too noisy. Definitely avail yourself of the light rail if headed to the museums or the beautiful Hermann Park. Rideshare trips can take a bit long to arrive due to all of the traffic lights so plan for that if you aren’t driving. The restaurant and bar also offer a pleasant atmosphere but are not open for late-night dining or drinks.

    Staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Restaurant food was very good! I needed somewhere I could sit and put on my shoes. The room was small and it had a bar-high table set that took too much space and was not useful. I even hit my head and got a bump on my forehead with it. One normal height chair and a small table would have been great. Windows need to be updated, I got a lot of noise from the street below and would hear the metro train. Location was great and staff amazing.

    I had a great stay! I checked in Saturday night after attending a wine festival and needed a convenient place to stay before work on Sunday. The hotel was right across the street from my job, which made it the perfect location. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the shower was spotless. The complimentary bottle of wine was a thoughtful touch and made the stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again!

    The Westin Houston Medical Center is very conveniently located, especially if you need to be close to the Texas Medical Center. The location makes getting around the medical center area very easy, and the hotel itself is comfortable and well suited for a short stay. My biggest disappointment was the restaurant. Given the quality and reputation of the Westin brand, I expected a better dining experience. The food and overall restaurant experience were simply not particularly impressive. Overall, the location is the biggest advantage of this hotel. It’s a practical choice if you need to be in the Medical Center, but I would recommend looking elsewhere for a good meal.

    The hotel was amazing, until I walked into our room. I was very underwhelmed. We were to be at Texas Children’s in the AM, so the location was great, and I understand that's what I was paying for, but the rooms themselves could use a major update. Our room felt very humid and muggy, and did NOT cool below 71ish. It smelled almost moldy, or like a public swimming room locker room or something. OVERALL...MOIST! There were also silverfish bugs. I found two in our room. So that just instantly makes you feel dirty and makes you check your bed 😬.... the windows are very thin and let in SO MUCH heat. I'm very sure that if I pushed with one hand hard enough, I could break the window out, which is just so scary. The caulking around windows was nasty and then painted over. I think maybe there was the idea of an update years ago, but they got "the landlord special." The restaurant in the hotel was great and had great staff. Valet was great. We didn't use any other amenities, but unfortunately, I think I would use elsewhere if I needed to stay in the medical district again.

The pool was beautiful and a great place for us to relax and have fun, and the food at the restaurant was absolutely amazing. Every staff member we encountered provided outstanding customer service, which made our stay even more special. This has definitely become one of my favorite hotels in Houston, and I can’t wait to come back. Thank you for helping make my birthday weekend one I’ll never forget!

    Whereas the Hyatt literally threw us out after we had paid for two nights and refused to honor our reservation, the Westin was quick to accommodate us. Even though the suite we reserved was unavailable, they promptly arranged a different room, provided complimentary breakfast and parking, and made the entire experience extremely nice. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel. We will be staying there again in the future. As for our relationship with Hyatt, based on that one experience, we will probably never stay at a Hyatt again. We travel regularly, are Platinum members with Expedia, fly frequently, and stay at hotels all over the world. We will probably never stay at another Hyatt, but we will definitely return to the Westin and other Marriott hotels in the future.

    Originally booked a suite and upon arriving to the room we noticed what looked to be like a drop of blood on the floor along with the tub not being cleaned. When housekeeping came she rudely remarked it was makeup and wiped it up. When I asked if they don’t mop between guests she just offered to mop. The manager on duty was really kind and offered us a different room which we took but it was much smaller due to suites being sold out making it much harder with a little one. Valet was 24/7 but was very pricey. We ordered room service and were quoted 30 minutes and it arrived in an over an hour- food was lukewarm. At least the pool and most of the service was really nice.

    Everything was great. Only issue we called for extra sweet and low due to three occupants. I had two friends with me to attend to me after my surgery. I went down stairs after waiting for an hr. The front desk clerk called for them to deliver us the sweet and low. The hostess of the restaurant was at her post and over heard what I needed. She did not offer to get sweet and low from the restaurant even though I purchased coffee at 6am at the restaurant and used sweet and low at that time. Great hotel and staff except for that one issue.
