    This hotel needs updating for the price I expected better quality for a Westin. The rooms were quite dated, stains in room...did not smell fresh. Would not stay again. I usually stay at Westins however when I come to houston I prefer the holiday inn express galleria, very nice. Clean and modern hotel. This westin...not so much. The lobby and hallways were modern however the rooms were very dated. It felt like a regular hotel nothing special.

    The one amenity I was l was looking forward to, in the heat and humidity, was the pool. Unfortunately this was a severe disappointment. The pool, located on an exposed roof, has NO umbrellas, and is a huge concrete slab that has absolutely no appeal. There is no bar or service to obtain drinks, and the exposure is such that all one can expect is dehydration and sunburn. If it were not for the need to attend my CE course, I would not choose to stay at this hotel unless I felt like shopping to get out of the heat and humidity.

    The old Galleria hotel is showing its age but still a very nice property. Solid building built back when they knew how. Quiet. I'm surprised that the pool area is not exactly run down but plain, empty, lots of wasted Galleria $1000sq/ft real estate. There could be a Tiki bar up there!

    First you get there and the supposedly free parking lot was full. We wasted half an hour waiting for a spot and no luck. We had to park with valet who charges 60 dollars to park your car. Hotel reception was good and fast but the rooms need serious sound insulation from all sides. We could hear every car on the road and every neighbor closing his hotel room door. We could not till around 2 am because of the noise. Pillows are very low quality. Woke up with neck and shoulder pain.

There were actually multiple layers of bedding which I appreciate rather than the thin "blanket/sheet" that seems to be popular. We would definitely stay here again. A+++

    The toilet in my room did not flush, so the dirt accumulated when I just checked in. It took two requests with the front desk to have it fixed within 4 hours. Then I needed to ask again to clean it. The front desk person couldn't explain what is being served at the club and was not very welcoming, Eileen, I believe. Other front desk people were more professional and polite. They gave me a late check out, and access to the pool after I checked out. Even walked me to the pool to make sure I can enter. Unfortunately, the people in the room next to mine desided to smoke weed, and the smell was all three days I was there. I wish they vacuumed the hallway carpet with the deodorant/airfreshener to reduce the smell. Overall, I would not return here, unlike my recent Westin Anaheim trip, which was amazing.

    That said, I did run into a few issues worth noting. I had some packages delivered during my stay, and I wasn’t aware there would be a $10 charge per package, even as a guest with a reservation. In the end, I was charged more than expected (about $65), and when I inquired, the adjustments and deductions weren’t clearly explained, which left me a bit confused. It would be great if the package policy were communicated more clearly and managed more transparently. Another hiccup was with breakfast. Although my reservation didn’t include breakfast, a staff member at the front desk kindly offered me a complimentary breakfast for Friday as an upgrade. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the restaurant, they told me it wasn’t included and I had to pay for it—so that was a bit disappointing and awkward. Lastly, there was a $29 daily charge for amenities like restaurant credit, skating, and museum access, which I wasn’t interested in using. I would have appreciated the option to decline that charge, rather than having it automatically added. Despite these concerns, the hotel itself is beautiful and well-maintained, and the staff was generally helpful and friendly. I just hope they can improve clarity and consistency around charges.
