I spent 45 minutes arguing with the front desk staff, who still refused to call Expedia. Expedia tried calling the hotel directly three times and no one answered. Finally, because I was so persistent, they gave me a room. It really is not the guest’s responsibility to work out a situation like this and it was extremely frustrating after a long day of travel. When I got to the room, there was hair in the bathtub and a maroon stain on the duvet. I tried calling the front desk and housekeeping three times each and no one answered. Honestly the worst customer service experience I’ve ever encountered.

Shower drain backed up and feces looking gunk came up top. Had to personally clean it to shower since we didn’t have time to wait for staff to resolve it before heading out for a funeral. My relatives room was dirty too and the bathroom wasn’t cleaned properly. They had to switch rooms as well. Lobby is nice, hotel itself isn’t run well or cleaned properly. Bottom tier Westin hotel. Not recommended

Nice 24h gym, heated indoor pool, plenty of parking. I was there for a wedding nearby but there were 2 weddings happening at the hotel, and during that time it was a little loud and elevators were chaotic. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff is nice and helpful. Very decent for the price, good option close to O'Hare.

parking is easy Some of the facility was closed and/or run down (carpet on 14 floor has multiple stains in hallway), not sure why we were assigned an accessible room on the 7th fl (we do not have special needs), and both days housekeeping did not replenish the towels. The pool was Closed. The conference room restrooms have cracked/broken tiles. Lights on the word WESTIN on building need bulb replacing.

The location is great - very conveniently located. The lobby was beautiful! The staff were very efficient and friendly. The shower in the restroom was amazing. The breakfast wasn't anything special. Could use more hot dishes. The eggs were very dry - thinking they were powdered eggs? The room was outdated - the furniture very dingy, scratched, and heavily used. The room could really use an update and has outlived its value.

Nice room. Nice bed. Terrible lighting! No light near any mirrors: if someone is in the bathroom, there is no other place to apply makeup or do hair, despite two large mirrors. Nothing is lit. I swear… when are hotels going to figure out the easy things? Mirrors are useless without lighting.

The property of course looked amazing. Don’t like the parking design other than valet. You’re really walking a good distance with your luggage to the parking lot. I think my main concern is that even without a do not disturb sign in the morning. The staff came by literally four or five times. Before checkout time! Usually checkout time standard at hotels is 11 o’clock. Here it’s 12 o’clock. Before 1030 they had already been by our place again either four or five times. I get they want to get the property clean but goodness. Matter of fact, my wife and I checked out before 11.

The restaurant was exceptional. I enjoyed a wonderful meal at the bar. I thought I lost a ring and they responded immediately to look for it and called me back even when they did not find it. Instead of saying we will call you if we find it. I later found it in my suitcase.

I had to wait 30 minutes for check in because I had booked using Expedia and I guess it hadn’t went through yet.. when I entered the room I saw there was trash left in the garbage bin. When i was checking the sheets with a flashlight as I held them up I saw stains on it.

We had a wonderful stay! Our room with two queens was so nice, and the bathroom was huge with a terrific glassed-in shower that felt like something at a spa. There was a nice sitting area with chairs and a loveseat. We were able to log into our own Amazon Prime account for movie viewing on the television, which was very convenient. We had a very nice view on the 12th floor. The beds/linens/towels/pillows/comforters were so nice. We enjoyed eating at Saranello's downstairs, just a short walk from our room. We'll be back!

The beds are very uncomfortable ! The mattresses are soft and old style with springs. The body wash container was empty. No iron in the room. And really awful breakfast. Sorry, the building is very nice and pretty inside. But that is pretty much it. Would not recommend and would never stay there again.

I stayed here a few years ago and it was great. This most recent time though was disappointing. The staff seemed off. Not welcoming and when my acquaintance asked if there was a sauna or steam room, the woman that evening answered him walking away. The rooms are dated and need to be refreshed. The drain in the shower broke so the water didn’t drain. They also removed the hot tub so that was very disappointing. Area around the hotel is nice. I wouldn’t stay here again.

The chair in our room was peeling really bad. My friend sat in it and when she got up there were black pieces all over her legs. The table top had spots on it. The dress was broken and hard to move the drawers in and out. This room wasn’t cheap but the furniture in it was definitely old and needs to be replaced. Not worth the price I paid and I am highly disappointed because I’ve stayed here before and never dealt with this.
