Great stay at the Westin Downtown DC. Valet parking was easy and welcoming, and check-in was smooth with friendly staff who accommodated an early check-in. The hotel was extremely clean throughout--from the lobby and hallways to the elevators and my room. The lobby had multiple vibey lounge nooks, and the bar served great cocktails with a fun, upscale atmosphere. Overall, a very comfortable and polished stay. Would definitely return. read more

Clean, spacious. Weird noises emanating from the walls; interrupted my sleep Good addition with Starbucks in lobby read more

Our stay was perfect from the start. Janae at the front desk was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We were incredibly grateful to be able to check in early at 10 AM; after an early flight, being able to head straight to our room was a lifesaver. The room was spacious, the bed was exceptionally comfortable, and you can't beat the location. We were right in the heart of the city, just minutes from the Smithsonian. read more

We really enjoyed our stay! He upgraded our room at check in with no problems. We were on the 2nd floor and had a view of the bar & dining area, typically I prefer natural light but it wasn't bad at all. Our room came with a lot of extra perks, food/drink vouchers, complimentary tickets to the Museum of Illusions and there is a Starbucks in the lobby. It was really close to a lot of shopping and dining spots as well. There was beautiful art on the side of the building. There was a random mini pop-up art show (on a Tuesday, that's unheard of lol) that we really enjoyed. The room was clean, bed was cozy, shower was great and robe was comfy. (I love a good robe, even at home lol) We had everything we needed. I would stay here again! read more

So comfortable, clean, and in a great location. Loved the room service options and the little market downstairs. Everything smells good. Will be back. read more

A really nice hotel. I guess it's about to be updated but I had no complaints. One quirk: most of the rooms look into an atrium, instead of the outdoors. I loved it. Lobby bar not the best but was ok. read more

Truly in the center of downtown with easy access to all the main areas, definitely walkable. Best part, one of the biggest hotel gyms in the city. I always stay here when in town, really clean rooms, great service, and large breakfast area. read more

Overall very beautiful facilities! I was able to request my room view be changed and appreciated the receptions assistance. Upon changing rooms, there was a stain on the sheets however room service quickly came to change all the bedding. I did not notice any other issues with cleanliness. Excellent location for convention center! read more

Stay Here. If you can't decide? Let me tell you... I stayed here a week and absolutely loved it. HUGE. Beautiful room, gorgeous lobby, friendly service, lobby action for drinks and there is a freaking Starbucks in the hotel. Say less. Attentive housekeeping. I loved that the floors weren't carpeted. I always feel icky walking on hotel carpet. The room was minimalistic, contemporary and comfortable. The shower was AMAZING. A few dials to give you a handheld shower experience as well. I loved the motion light in the bathroom so if you have to go in the middle of the night you don't disturb your partner. If I had to pick a dislike, it would be no microwave, fruit flies in the lobby drove me nuts and there were loud kids on my floor. The gap at the bottom on the door makes it easier to hear everything in the hall. The floors make it easy to hear your upstairs neighbors walking all day also. But I still highly recommend this location. Close to shopping, food, museums, metro, Chinatown and even a grocery store is nearby. read more

This hotel is beautiful and amazing! The fitness center is top notch - theres Peloton bikes and a massage gun machine. The staff is so kind and helpful - I have never stayed somewhere where the staff was so attentive! They answered any questions I had and even brought up toothpaste and toothbrushes to my room when I asked if toothpaste was for purchase in their shop in the lobby. The restaurant is tasty, however service is slow. I would opt for room service if you don't want to sit in the lobby for too long. read more

Such a great stay! Beautiful spacious and comfortable rooms. The most important feature, however, is that staff was always pleasant and accessible. House keeping was thorough and great. I was here for a conference and the catering was delicious. The lobby is pleasant- lot of people commented that this was nicer than other hotels in the area. The best part? The luxurious gym! Peleton bikes available, Olympic weight lifting room at your disposal, cardio machines, weight benches, weights, and plenty of space so you never feel crowded! read more

I recently had a bit of a staycation when my friends came to town for a visit and decided to book us a room at the Westin Downtown DC. The Westin is a gorgeous hotel with a beautiful lobby (on-site Starbucks and car rental!), top-tier gym (I would "join" today if that was an option), and comfortable/modern rooms. It's very clear that all the details in the hotel were carefully considered to make for a great guest experience. I was informed the hotel has been recently renovated and if that is the case I must say Marriott did a great job! The only "negative" was when we first booked I wasn't a huge fan of the destination fee, but was pleased we could use a $30 daily credit to enjoy the on-site restaurants, which provided great service and tasty food options. Parking is also VERY expensive but that is expected at any downtown hotel I suppose. I would've rather my destination fee went towards that but for the full weekend we landed just shy of $80 by self-parking in the garage. The hotel itself is centrally located with lots of options in walking distance for food, drinks, and exploration. There was also easy access to the metro stations to get around the city. The last minute decision to grab a room at the Westin was a great one and I'm planning on "hosting" more friends and family there in the future. read more

I visited the Westin near the Convention center on 7th in DC, for a special dinner, and it was so magical and a wonderful experience. I was able to get my bag and coat checked which at the event. The food was so good! Mushroom toast: crunchy and so delicious Shrimp: was salty! Chicken wings: perfection Garlic bread: a bit too crunchy There was an open bar, and they were able to make me a Moscow mule with grey goose! Yum! The ambience was wonderful, with purple seats and a variety of seating arrangements perfect for networking! read more

Perhaps the greatest hotel rebrand is Westin. Transforming into a wellness hotel brand, their magic worked on me. Checking in for a two-night staycation, my family of three enjoyed our stay. Here's why. 1) Rooms: We stayed on the 14th floor with views of City Center. With adjoining rooms, we had a king-sized bed suite with a living and dining area and a connected single room with two queen-sized beds. The entire hotel is recently renovated, so the rooms are new looking and clean. It comes with all the usual suspects like a safe, iron, etc. What sticks out are the little things like a full tray of toiletries like tooth paste, deodorant, and mouth wash. They also leave you bathrobes that you can take home. The beds are very comfortable and the AC/heat work well. 2) Space: The renovation makes this hotel pop. With a modern yet simple design, the entire hotel reminds us of the nearby Conrad (a Hilton luxury hotel). The lobby is spacious with a full restaurant and bar. Being a wellness hotel brand, their third floor gym is massive! It comes with one huge room with Peloton bikes, treadmills, weights, etc. There's a separate yoga room and towels and water. 3) Amenities: Again, the gym is massive so pack your workout clothes. The hotel restaurant and bar (Root & Vine) serves quality food and includes better-for-you food and more healthy portion sizes. The lobby has three kinds of water for guests. Each floor has an ice and water room. There's a Starbucks and a little market with snacks, wine, and grab-n-go food in the lobby. There's valet parking and on-site parking garage for $36 a day. 4) Service: Everyone is kind, especially the restaurant staff. They are attentive and offer help if you need it. 5) Parking: There's valet parking and a parking garage that connects to the hotel. 6) Neighborhood: In a central location, there's plenty to do within walking distance from Luna Hall, an Asian food hall, to Planet Word, an interactive museum about language, to A Baked Joint, a popular restaurant with delicious breakfast biscuits. (Our stay was comped, but views are my own.) read more

Birthday weekend, nice treat staying at this hotel. Love the wellness brand. Decor is beautiful and updated. What I always love about the Westin are the Heavenly beds. Best. Sleep. Ever. So for me the wellness brand works. Being able to eat a breakfast with menu options akin to what I would typically eat, I mean good, nutritious delicious food. This fitness studio was the best I've seen. I stayed at the Westin in Toronto last year and it was really nice but not nearly as big. This one is massive! Able to easily social distance. Upscale shopping in walking distance. Friendly staff. I highly recommend. read more

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-appointed with modern amenities. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all our needs were met. The location was perfect--close to key attractions and great dining options. The only downside is if your on the lower floors you will hear everything from the street. This hotel also offers a variety of water in the lobby that you can refill your reusable bottles with (alkaline, sparkling, and flat) it was a great start to each day. Highly recommend for both business and leisure travelers! read more

Stayed here for 3 nights as part of a conference. The room was clean and well made up. There were full size bath products in the shower, which is always great. The front desk staff was a little cold, but polite. It is busy, however, so if you're looking for a quiet stay, be thoughtful of that. Overall great location and would recommend! read more

Very clean and nice rooms. Great lobby and bar. Nice staff. The parking garage is a little tight though -- hit my head on the pipes and hanging poles multiple times! read more

Beautiful room. Didn't have a view but location made up for it. Destination fee of 30$ a night on top of already paid for room was a surprise and not a choice (this was the only critical thing I might say about my stay). Very close to metro stop and really everything is walkable if you don't want to use the metro. I flew in to Dulles, took the metro all the way, switching trains twice. Worked great. Would stay again without question. read more

By far the best hotel bed you will ever sleep in. The Westin is curated around health and good rest and it shows. From their gym, to the lighting, to the kind and accommodating staff, every detail here shows that they care. I LOVE staying here, and I wish every hotel was this clean and comfortable. Outstanding! I do wish they had microwaves, but you can't have it all. read more

The room is simply beautiful. I had the king looking out towards the library. Baby I slept real good. Spacious with a place to sit and my other favorite part was the bathroom. Specifically the shower. Visiting with big group and so check in took some time but not more than 15 mins. Since our events were predominantly at the hotel, we had to engage a lot with staff; from car services to food servers. Everyone was super nice and accommodating. I even enjoyed the staff at the Starbucks. I would recommend for a short stay. Lots of restaurants near and other attractions. However, if you are in the mood for things like the national mall it's a good hike. 44 mins on public trans. Things to consider: with big groups possibly have pre check in and additional bell hop support. read more

I stayed at this property for 5 nights on business travel. The property's common areas are clean and bright, the front desk staff were very helpful and the location is great! I was in a king guest room on an upper floor, facing K Street and the Apple Carnegie Library. The room wasn't huge but it had a very efficient layout that made it seem larger. The chaise in front of the window was actually comfortable--most hotel furniture just is not--and the bed was heavenly. Perhaps my favorite part is the water fillers (in the lobby and by the ice machines) that allowed you to fill your travel cup instead of buying expensive, single use water, one of my pet peeves of travel. And if you didn't bring your own, two (admittedly pricey) bottles were available in-room for purchase, or from the lobby Starbucks. Starbucks staff was friendly and fast, as was the lobby bar/restaurant. Close to metro and all sorts of shopping and food, I will stay at this property again! read more

I recently stay at this hotel. I would highly recommend the Westin. The entire staff we encountered was very accommodating from the valets, front desk, the concierge, the market restaurant in the hotel. Thank you so much for an amazing stay. read more

One of the worst hotel experiences ever. Did online check-in, which said I just needed to stop and get keys at the front desk, but the incompetent person on the front desk wasn't able to handle the task, had to show multiple proofs and credit cards, ended up taking almost 30 minutes read more

Overall we have had a good stay at this hotel. I am Titanium Elite with Marriott and was paying for this stay (not using redemption nights or points). I had done my research and knew it was a recently renovated rebranded Westin. The gym in this hotel is definitely second to none. It's huge, with a wide variety of quality equipment options. The lobby is beautifully renovated and is a huge open space. And this is one of the few hotels I found that had self parking, which I prefer. As for the rooms, we were initially in a 2 Queen room with a city view; the room was not large but was big enough. Beautifully renovated, with comfortable beds and bedding. My biggest pet peeve with it was the bath/shower combination (with a shower curtain). I was hoping for a decent upgrade at check-in but even with my status only received higher floor/better view room. I did end up going back down to the front desk and was able to pay a reduced rate to be upgraded to a King 1-bedroom suite, which was well worth it and a huge improvement (and had a stand up shower with a glass shower door). One of my favorite things about Westin's is their continental buffet breakfast, and I am not sure if this was recently discontinued as a brand, but this hotel did not offer them. As a Titanium elite you get a $17 credit per day for your breakfast, which at this hotel does not cover a breakfast and coffee. Not the end of the world, but something I was looking forward to. I do want to mention both George and Bridgette at the front desk who assisted me. They were both helpful and friendly. I did need to have extra bedding brought to my room and did not have to wait long for it. Overall I found the service to be amazing throughout the hotel. read more

I LOVE this Westin. Hands down my favorite. It's large, spacious, staff are friendly. I was upgraded to the Peloton corner suite and it was amazing. The hotel is very clean and quiet. Will certainly be back. read more

The location of the Westin Downtown is unmatched. We stayed here for the location to the Capital Center to view a Celtics game. The lobby is gorgeous & the staff in the lobby is excellent as well. Unfortunately the bar was woefully unstaffed for a busy Friday night. The bartender was doing the best she could, but we waited a very long time to order drinks and snacks. Our room was definitely on the smaller side (2 queens), however updated and nicely decorated. The letdown was the bed linens, the comforter was burst at the seams in a couple of places and the top blanket was more of a worn throw. I just expected better. read more

If you happen to book this through Marriott Bonvoy be ready for a $30 + tax "destination" fee. It's not listed under additional charges on the app, and when I inquired about it was told they wouldn't credit it. Why this hotel has that fee and not so many of the others we have stayed at, I really can't answer. Nothing special here. We were told the fee can be applied as a credit in their restaurant. We weren't able to go due to other plans and were gone by 6am the next day, so getting stuck paying this fee isn't sitting well with me. I emailed back and forth with one of the managers about it, and asked him why it wasn't mentioned in the welcome email they sent me, and I was told it's because it's NOT charged to all customers, just those who book through Marriott.com. I realize it's not a huge amount but it's the principle here. Be aware Marriott Bonvoy app users. Bye Westin! I won't be back. Ever. read more

Restaurant, valet, front desk, service. Food, drink, atmosphere, parking, convenience, etc.

I would have left a 4 1/2 star review as the restaurant was not up to my expectations, however the beyond amazing service from Shariff at the front desk more than made up for it. He not only welcomed me and my nephew with the biggest smile and most positive attitude, he clearly communicated what our stay entailed and all the benefits we were able to receive as elite members. His energy and good vibes were very infectious and we were lucky enough to have him check us out at the end of our stay. He remembered us and what our purpose for our stay (educational vacation for my young nephew on his spring break) and he had the same infectious positive and genuine energy that I so appreciated which really made a huge impact on our weekend. Our room was very nice, clean, and had a great view; the restaurant staff was a dependent on the lead so it was a hit or miss on customer service (one of the bartenders made the best mocktail for my nephew and the best adult beverage for myself and the cashier in the to go restaurant was amazing); the food was "meh" especially for the high price and room service ordering wasn't working on the app; and the rest of the hotel staff were very courteous and helpful. If you're lucky to engage with Shariff at the front desk know that you will be taken very good care of. He made our stay top notch from start to finish. read more

Arrived at noon and they got me in. I had a Marriott account so that saved me an early check in fee. Gave it 4 stars for the early check in. Otherwise it's about a 3.5. 24 hour Wawa next door was nice. Room was average. read more

Once I found it, the hotel changed names and not all apps have been updated, I had a great stay. The room was clean and updated. My room was on the 7th floor, but I never had a long wait for an elevator. The food served was great. It is rare that I can travel and stick to a low sugar, vegetable, and whole grain diet AND enjoy the food. The only issue is check in. It takes a long time. That is the bad news. The good news is that the staff focus on you and what you need. They work hard to resolve any issues or simply delight. Asked what room I wanted, I said I had no preference, but I was given a room with a great view of the former Carnegie library. This turned out to be a great landmark for navigating the area. The location of the hotel is great. It is walking distance to shops, Chinatown, museums, and healthy restaurants as well as the bus stops to everywhere I needed to go. Would book a stay there again for leisure. read more

Dont let them jam you up with a single queen room or you will find no chair, no desk, no drawers , an ikea thing jammed into the closet, so no closet. Serious here.

I may go back and edit at the end of my stay. But arrived 2 hours ago. Checkin took 20 minutes, and the queue was backing up. I am here for a convention where this is the HQ hotel, and one would think they would have been prepared for a rush. Second - on a Sunday afternoon, the only "food" available was Starbucks. Restaurants closed down and the so-called market was closed - they were tallying up receipts. No food service at the bar. Lovely - needed to walk 3 blocks to get a p*** p*** Potbelly sandwich. Third - well there is a small table and chair to do work on, but need to crawl down to get electric outlets for my devices. Room quality and cleanliness looks fine at this point. Bottom line - If Marriott wants to label this as a Westin, they need to upgrade their game, or else this is a Courtyard. read more

So many great things to say about the Westin Washington DC Downtown and the bar is just one of them. Talented, extremely pleasant bartenders conjuring up amazing concoctions is just one. The food was so good, staff was very pleasant and accommodating, and the whole hotel met every need above and beyond expectations. Oh, and the welcoming scent coming in the front door makes you feel right at home. Lovely hotel that I will be so happy to stay at again sometime! read more

Nice quiet hotel. Fancy looking but bare boned. Paid breakfast, typical fitness center. For the national mall and other attractions it's a good 40 min walk. You'd have to take public transit or drive if you aren't a hiker. The parking fee is crazy (58 dollars a night). Use the spot hero app to find cheaper parking beforehand. If you are here to drop off your kid to university like me check out the hotels near the Pentagon. Much cheaper. Free parking. And you'll have to drive from this hotel anyway so not a huge difference. In short no real advantage in staying here unless you get a good rate. And find alternate parking. read more

Room 826 had a serious odor issue that was never fixed during our stay but other than that everything else went well. The rooms were still very clean and the shower is as well.

The venue itself is nice, but they need to be more accountable. Today I was treated quite poorly for simply holding them to their word. There are areas where guests are instructed they cannot be without meeting certain conditions and, when pushing back, security gets called. If you're going to restrict seemingly common areas, put up signage so guests aren't set up for failure and staff are not put in the awkward position of enforcing rules that no one is aware of. I have severe PTSD and this was triggering, putting my health and well being in jeopardy. I will not darken the doorstep of this, or any Westin hotel again and will be speaking to my company's Vice President of Global Travel (55,000 employees globally and growing) to discourage sending any further business their way. read more
