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.

Short walk to Lakeshore Drive and many bars/restaurants. Be mindful that you will be charged $25 resort fee per day. However, this is redeemed by availing of bar or restaurant on location.

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.
