Its all about the bed

by lexxxxington

This hotel was very very nice...it was extremely clean which i am notorious for being picky about and i loved it! THe staff was extremely friendly and curtious. The rooms were very roomy and the king size bed was unbelievably comfartable. I had a wonderful nights sleep. The sheets were goose down which was nice...starbux coffee to go ready for you in the morning in your room...a beautiful spa like tub to relax in...a great bar and lovely setting... The dessert menu was wonderful....loved it all. the price was extremely fair......your in the middle of downtown near everything and great to go to the house of blues which is right next door....

One of the Best!

by coconino

I have lived in many hotels in Chicago before. Westin is one of the best hotel I have ever stayed. The bed and the shower are simply the best in town.

Inexpensive Elegance

by jeffseevers

My wife and I were looking for a place to stay in Chicago that didn't drain our budget, but provided a bit of class. Unlike some of the other comments provided here, our stay was VERY NICE. I booked online and when we arrived early, got booked into an upgrade and then had our car valet parked and luggage stored so we could go enjoy the city. The lobby/bar area was also very spacious to kick back and have a drink at. The room was very nice, and the "Heavenly Bed and Bath", were heavenly. If you're looking to pinch a couple of pennies and still stay at a nice place, it's a great spot.

  • Pros: heavenly bed/bath, bar/lobby area, kind staff
  • Cons: door service

Pure Joy!

by bjbabcock

The best hotel I've stayed in for years! The staff, from door to room, exudes happiness. I felt pampered and among friends. My "wake up" call was incredible. I am so use to electronic wake-ups that it was amazing to be awakened by a cheerful, friendly greeting from a wonderful woman who must love her job. It made my day!!

  • Pros: centrally located
