Great for shoping in the Galleria

If Galleria shopping is your final goal, this is your final destination hotel. Its right in the middle of the Gallería, not like the other hotels at the end or outside.

definitely not a good experience

there was no running water in the morning.... when it finally came back it was murky ......so I decided I was better off not taking a shower rather than waiting some more and missing my appointments. They payed for lunch on my way out which made it better, but it was definitely not a 4 star experience

The Location is great for a shopper

I wasnt quite happy with the condition and size of the room. It was small and it looked old. The pictures posted on the hotel site are way out of proportions in comparision to the room I got. It was okay. The hotels best asset is its location especially for shoppers. I would try the westin oaks next time.

Shopping tip: In Hotel

You can shop till you drop and always go and come to the hotel to drop off your shopping bags. The enterence to the mall is so great because its location is almost in the middle of everything.

Great Hotel

The Westin Galleria is located at the Galleria. You have immediate access to the restaurants, stores, and the food court. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Hotel staff was very helpful and polite. I will definitely stay here during my next visit.
