    Overall it was a nice stay, very clean. The rooms are very average for the price you are paying. There is also a $30/day charge on top of your price for basically no reason that you do not get refunded. No complimentary breakfast or coffee. Only valet parking on site which is almost $100/night. There is a parking garage across the street you can park in for much cheaper. The location for downtown Chicago/mag mile is very good, within walking distance to any shop or restaurant. Area it is in is very nice and clean.

    The hostess assisting us during check-in was quite rude and almost sarcastic when I inquired about the reservation details. She was not very helpful when I attempted to use my credit card; the card reader wasn't working, and she seemed hesitant to manually enter the numbers. Additionally, the beds were squeaky, and the sheets appeared worn and crumpled, suggesting they had been used frequently and were made of low-quality material.

    I was charged for something new everyday. When I booked, my total was calculated but when I checked out it was way more than expected. We only charged the room once! When we asked what the extra charges were for we were told they were holds and will be returned to my card after checkout, they have not been returned! Just beware… lots of extra fees.

I do not recommend.

    Overall a beautiful hotel, the lobby looks and smells wonderful, the front desk employees were incredibly nice, and the view from the room was great! This was the second time we’ve stayed at this hotel and it’s one of the best in Chicago, especially for the price! The only complaints I have is the vallet is pricey at 89$ but it is super nice to just drop off the car and not have to worry and the breakfast is fantastic but INCREDIBLELY expensive (~100$ for two adults) so I recommend just going somewhere else for breakfast! 9/10 hotel!

    I stayed here while visiting Chicago. The location was nice, but be prepared—they charge for almost everything and taxes add up quickly. The room was pretty small, which wasn’t ideal. The room itself was clean overall, but the mirrors weren’t properly cleaned. It wasn’t a bad stay, just a bit overpriced for what you get.

    Upon check-in, the staff was friendly. This is a return visit to the property, which is ideally located and was nice last time we stayed. The room itself was quite warm. I called the front desk and asked them why I couldn't adjust my thermostat in the room and was told "I'll call engineering and have them adjust it". 30 minutes later, no change, so I called back. "Oh yes, I meant to call you back. Engineering says the 'chiller' isn't working because we're in-between seasons, so we can't adjust it cooler. We can bring you a box fan." For a hotel room in this price range in downtown Chicago? Unacceptable. The rest of the room was run down. Outlets on the wall were loose. The floor lamp base was broken, so it leaned way over the bed. The desk chair was worn and tattered. The bathroom had rust spots coming through the wall coverings, and the paint was peeling over the tub. Just general upkeep was poor. The room was clean. I let Marriott know that my experience was poor, and they immediately replied with "Oh, well since you booked with Expedia, we can't do anything. You'll have to bring it up with them." Seriously? I'm guessing Expedia can't do anything to credit me for a below par experience, so I'm forced to review the property to let others know. I'm going back to the Intercontinental on the other end of Michigan Ave. next time.

    They charge you a $35 destination fee thats supposed to include tickets to the art museum but when i asked they said they didn't have updated tickets. I think they should have to refund the destination fee if the things offered arent even available, seems like false advertising. Hotel was nice, quiet and convenient location to a lot of stuff on magnificent mile. Would stay again.

    Shops outside of the Hotel were near by. The room was ok but very dusty. Never was showed where the Spa was. The checking in was good, but throughout our stay not once did the staff acknowledged us no Hi no smile was kind of surprised because normally that’s what hotel staffs do is acknowledged the guests not even the doorman. Had a situation with elevator we got stuck in it no one came to help us luckily the door opened and we were able to get out right away there was a lady at the desk as we came out my daughter explained to her what happened she was just like “oh ok”and asked if we were ok my daughter told her no “I think my mom is having a panic attack “I have never experienced a panic attack so I wasn’t sure if that’s what I was experiencing but if it was it was a terrible feeling. She just offered a bottle of water but didn’t asked if she needed to get help for us nothing. I wasn’t expecting special treatment but at least some sort of compassion. As for our checking out was a good experience the staff that was on were so bubbly and just happy people they checked us out and for the 1st time since our 6 days stay were told “thank you for staying with us and have a great day” Wow I told my daughter a good greeting on our last day OK we’ll take it. I don’t know about staying here our next trip to Chicago but it is very convenient to everything. 😉

    The biggest issue was the hidden fees that were never clearly disclosed in the stay description or explained during booking or check-in. What initially appeared to be an $800 stay nearly doubled once all the additional charges were added. We were charged for multiple unnecessary items and services, including being charged just to watch TV, which is unreasonable and not something you expect when booking a room. These extra charges felt excessive, misleading, and poorly communicated. At no point were we properly informed or given a clear breakdown of what these fees were for or why they were mandatory. This lack of transparency made the experience frustrating and stressful, as we constantly felt like we were being nickel-and-dimed. While the room itself was fine, the value was completely overshadowed by the unexpected costs. Because of the hidden fees and poor communication, the stay was not worth the price we ended up being charged. I would not recommend staying here unless all fees are clearly disclosed upfront and explained in advance.

    We were overcharged so check your bill for double taxes and double resort fees - beware! The hotel charges $25 per day on top of charging you to stay there. We were given access to a Club Lounge as we were staying for 7 nights and had nothing included other than the room, but honestly the lounge is not somewhere you’d want to eat breakfast, drink the coffee or spend any time. Some of the staff there are absolutely lovely though. The rooms have literally no creature comforts in them. Empty fridge, coffee machine but no milk, no spoons and just paper cups, there’s also no vanity kit just soap in the bathroom…. Also a seemingly small thing but every guest remarked how annoying the lifts are! Everyone has to race to one tiny touch pad in the corner of the lift to input their floor before it shoots up. When you have 8 people in a lift it’s just frustrating. Overall I’d say this is a poor experience from the Westin. Most of the staff are trying their hardest to give guests a nice experience but the hotel is so old and tired and the Westin appears to have cut costs on some basic comforts you expect from a top hotel - especially one that charges us over $3,000 for one week!!

    There was a stain on our comforter and we let them know and put it outside. It was never replaced even when they “cleaned” the room. When they “cleaned” the room the bed was not remade just blankets straightened and pillows on the floor. The air conditioner didn’t stay on so it was warm and stuffy in the room.

    Coming from Canada, we expected our 6 nights stay in the Chicago Magnificent Mile Westin to be equally good, if not better—but it felt only a notch above a motel. The hallways had an unpleasant odor, unclean, smelly carpeting, and clearly needed upgrading. Basic amenities like a tea kettle was missing, cofee machine was located in the washroom (!), and housekeeping service was inattentive. The toiletries were of poor quality, and despite our room overlooking rooftops, it was priced the same as rooms with much better views. Overall, a disappointing experience that didn’t live up to the Westin name.

    The city view rooms are great. Even though the hotel is in a busy area, the street it’s on is fairly quiet and has little traffic going through it. The hotel is conveniently placed and everything was walking distance. They also offered a credit for any service upon arrival along with free excursion activities. The only thing I’d change is having a microwave in the room so I didn’t waste as much food.

    Staff was wonderful across the board. Issues were with the mattress and a maintenance issue with the shower drain. The mattress was very different than at other Westin properties and did not have a heavenly bed feel and nor did the pillows. Not sure if other rooms have been updated / refreshed, but ours was very dated and likely needs to be fully refurbished. The drain issue was addressed same day which was appreciated, but really should not have been something that occurred and for a guest to discover. Location is good for shopping, some museums, some touristy attractions, but there are likely other locations to stay in the general area with more activities in a shorter walk. Would stay again if we have a need in this area and could be guranteed best in class bedding.

    I enjoyed my stay as the location is convenient and the rooms were clean and the bed super comfortable. My only complaint is that my robe that was hanging for my use was soiled and there was no grab bar in the bath/shower. People should be aware that if they need grab bars, they should a room with accessibility. These should be standard (and i believe code) so this downgraded my rating.

    Had a terrible time at this hotel. The A/C didn't work well at all and we were incredibly hot even when it was just 70 degrees outside. The check-in process took over an hour even though it was 8:30pm on a Wednesday, the lines were so long and the support staff was limited. The room itself smelled so awful, it was like something was dead in there. The A/C was unable to go to normal levels so we sweat throughout the night. The worst part was that a housekeeper tried to enter our room without knocking or announcing she was entering, and this is while we were getting dressed in the morning. Overall, I was really unhappy with our stay and would advise people to not go here.

A lot of tours pick up right there at Water Tower place. On a little bit of a side street for easier taxi/uber pick up/drop off. Highly recommend.

    The ‘resort fee’ was explained at checkin. Nice to get some of it back as free Starbucks coffee or drinks but this resort fee is a scam and feels like way to get more money for nothing. Read the fine print as you book. It is not a resort with resort amenities.

    When we arrived, there was no remote for the TV in the room and the television was on. A quick call to room service and someone brought the remote up within minutes. Otherwise, the room was clean and comfortable, and even a great view. This time we had a city view last time we had a lake view they’re all great. When we checked in, I mentioned it was our 35th anniversary. The manager gave us two free drink tickets. We will definitely stay here again in fact, we just booked a night in November at the Westin and we often recommend it to many of our friends.

    We usually stay at another property further south on Michigan Ave., but I decided to try the Westin all the way north. The Website says there is no parking at the hotel, so we had to park across the street at the Hancock Tower parking garage. It's a bit of a hassle, as you have to take two different elevators and pay via machine (one was out of order). The Westin itself...staff was friendly at check-in. The room smelled like a pet room that had been sprayed with deodorizer to cover it up (but it didn't). My daughter, who is allergic to cats, said her eyes were itching shortly after we got in the room. Other things...there were what appeared to be blood stains on the floor by my bed, in addition to white stains on my bed's headboard (don't want to know what those were...). Pretty gross. The toilet paper holder in the bathroom was broken, and the roll kept falling off. The toilet seat wouldn't stay up by itself (had to hold it). The shower head was one of those "rainfall" types, but it was clogged, so we had to use the handheld sprayer as the shower head. The T.V. remote was worn out, so you had to push each button really, really hard and aim it perfectly at the T.V. The HVAC control panel was cumbersome, and we had to hit multiple buttons multiple times to change any setting. Regardless of temperature, the room always felt kind of humid. My daughter put a pillow on the sitting chair in the room because of the stains on the cushion. It's not a great property. We won't return.

    Arrived at 5:30. Told there were no clean rooms. I had to wait to check in. No apologies. Only housekeeping was to blame and being sold out. I had dinner reservations Had to go to dinner in the clothes I’d been traveling in all day. But I did get a drink ticket out of the deal. That I couldn’t use.

    We are return customers to Westin. For the most part the stay was fine. However, we were very disappointed in the lack of cleanliness of our room. Even after a request for cleaning, the most that was ever done was making of the bed and emptying the trash. The toilet was not clean upon our arrival and was never cleaned, nor was the sink wiped down during our entire stay. I had to do this myself.

    The stay was just OK although the hotel good location and looked nice from the outside. The check-in staff was not very friendly or accommodating in anyway this was my first trip to Chicago and it was a quick overnight to watch the Cubs game with a friend. The room was small and we could not get it to cool down. There were no real amenities in the room. It was no different than a Holiday Inn or Hampton Inn so for the price it’s really not worth it. We checked in after the game and asked the staff if there was anywhere we could get dessert and the answer was no they had no suggestions for us. I asked him if the room had a nice view and they said “if you like, looking at the street”.

    I do believe the Westin franchise is relying on their name and reputation at this point. The hotel felt dated. Lobby furniture was stained and old. You could tell it's in need of a renovation. The room was a decent size. I appreciated how spacious it was. However, you could see that the room was not the best quality or cleaned properly. Bathroom and carpet felt dated. Saw hair on the towels and make up stsins from previous guests. The refrigerator also had a smell that would not go away. For the price, i would recommend staying elsewhere.
