Rated 4 out of 5 by ANagory Excellent stay at Westing Michigan Avenue, as I have come to expect at this hotel!!
There are several reasons I always stay at this hotel when in Chicago!! The Westin Michigan Avenue provides the best service and personal attention from staff than any other hotel I stay at. They also provide me with frequent Platinum room upgrades with rare exceptions! I want to specially commend the following individuals for making sure my stays were comfortable -
Jerrel, Ashley, Carly, Anna and Diana. Thank you guys!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Alto Unpleasant checkout
When I checked out around noon on May 6, there was a long line, same line for check-in and check-out. No privilege to platinum member, I waited like 30 mins. Finally it came to my turn, the receptionist said the system was down and I would not have my statement and invoice. She said these would be sent to by e-mail. Yet as of now I have not received anything.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LH11 Bad customer service
Hotel is in a nice location but overall customer service is terrible. No one was in the front to greet or help me with my luggage. The same when I departed...had to take care of everything myself including open the door while the staff just stood there and looked.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Linda1969 Comfortable Stay and great location
I had an overall enjoyable experience in your hotel..all staff and guest services were more than helpful, courteous and professional.. My one and only complaint would be the location of our room in relationship to the elevators. The elevator activity was louder than I was expecting and hindered sleeping, at times. When I return to your hotel on my next trip, I will remember to ask for a room away from the elevators. Thanks, Linda

Rated 5 out of 5 by jack114 Nice, comfortable stay
Visited for a girl's weekend. Comfortable hotel with a nice and accommodating staff. Rooms were clean and appointed well. The rooms were plain looking but served our purposes.

Rated 3 out of 5 by KathyK Great Location, average accomondations
The hotel location is great, next to Water Tower Plaza, across from the 95th floor, blocks from the lake. The staff was nice, but the room was dirty. The bathroom had a moldy smell, the nightstand next to the bed had a glass top on it and under it was what looked like mold (or just grimy dirt) as well as a red liquid that looked like had spilled. The phone had dirt spots. I stay at Westins all the time and this room was not what I am accustomed to. It could have just been this room, everything else was good.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Ohioan34 Nice hotel but not as lavish as its price
For the price of a room, I was expecting a lot more. The rooms weren't nearly as fancy as I had anticipated. The staff was friendly, but didn't go out of their way for the most part. Housekeeping was disappointing. I've never stayed in a hotel where the open bars of soap weren't disposed of/replaced. It also seemed as though the concierge was always in a hurry. Overall, it was a pleasant stay but it felt like your average run of the mill hotel. I thought I was paying for a lot more than what we got.

Rated 2 out of 5 by JoeFW Bad Bed / Bad Service / Bad Valet Parking / Great Location
Biggest problem was the parking fee: $59/day
Some valet driver attempted international calls to Helmsdale, United Kingdom (left phone behind, my fault, their fault)
Smaller problems are numerous.
There was hair on the shower curtain.
Miracle bed was lumpy; immovable waves in bed looked like a frozen waving water bed.
Television channels so bad that we watched Netlix on laptop, using cell phone WiFi hotspot.
Unreasonable rate for internet access. No free Wifi, really, today 2013 no free WiFi.
The consierge phone number never answered.
The front desk was always busy with a long wait, so no way to ask questions.
The room looked nice, great view, and the location was great, that's it. Oh, two free bottles of water for Preferred Guests.
Don't Park! Use Taxis.
