Room was very clean, check in was an easy process. For 2 hours staring at 1am I was bothered by a loud intermittent noise. I couldn’t tell if it was from the wall or above. I could not sleep. I tried to tough it out because it was so late at night. I finally called the lobby and was notified they would send Engineering up or I could be relocated to another room. I couldn’t take the noise any more and was quickly switched to another room with no hassle. The next morning I was notified there was a rock in one of the vents that was located above. Having to work early the next morning. it was truly an inconvenience. The staff quickly relocated me but the damage was already done.

The bed was not heavenly; it was very firm. The pillows were not down, they seemed like down alternative. I had to request for slippers and it took a while for the temp. to reach 65 after adjustment. I stayed at Westin in San Francisco a years back and enjoyed it very much. Not here.
