“First Time DISAPPOINTMENT”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Have stayed at this Westin before and was pleased. This time was a disappointment. NC Music Factory had advertised a special rate on their website for Westin guests. Called to make reservations and Westin reservations would not honor the rate. They told us to check with Westin front desk at check-in. Upon check-in, they would not honor rate. We even showed them the rate on the website and they still would not honor it. Free shuttle service from Westin to NC Music Factory was also listed. Westin front desk would not honor this either. The Westin now makes guest pay for Internet, local phone calls, and parking. This has never been the case when staying over for the weekend. Because our reservations were entered incorrectly in to their system, we had to check out of our first room on Saturday morning and then check back into another room. Neither room had good water pressure and the second room had a shower head that wasn't even working...(normally I wouldn't say anything about this, but the Westin prides itself on it's "Heavenly Shower" with dual shower heads). I will say that the rooms were clean. The cleaning staff really does a good job. Wish I could say the same for reservations and front desk staff. Disappointing because they have been good to us in the past, and is a good weekend retreat when going out on the town. Will investigate other options next time.

Room Tip: South side of hotel gives good sunset views. North side offers views of downtown.

“Would definately stay here again!”

The rooms were nice and clean. The staff was very friendly at the front desk and helped get us checked in quickly and efficiently. I am very happy that they are a pet friendly hotel as well. And you DON"T have to PAY to bring your dog (40lb limit). I enjoy having the option of bringing our 12lb dog with us. The pool was nice too. I would definately go back and stay at the Westin in uptown Charlotte!

“Great renovations”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

We stayed here for a weekend getaway from our home in Charlotte. From check-in to check-out my wife and I did not experience exceptional service; however, I tend to have very high standards. The property is large and kept nicely. We stayed in a Superior corner room on the 21st floor. The rooms are great; with their Heavenly Bed and Bath. These rooms have been recently renovated in a very nice, modern yet comfortable style. My one complaint concerning our room was the filthy window which heavily impaired the uptown views of the city. I went ahead and payed more for the Superior corner room because of the better city views it offered, so this was very disappointing for us. I have included a photo from the room that shows the problem window.

Room Tip: -Request to stay on the north side for best views of the uptown buildings.

“Disappointing experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

We stayed in several hotels the last month in the USA and this was really not a positive experience. We stayed as a SPG member on the 25th floor of the hotel. Our beds were made but it looked if someone slept on our beds. The iron and iron board was not once put back into the cupboard. You really expect more of a 4* hotel!! We have boxes of brochures shipped to the hotel for our convention and waited nearly a half hour for the boxes the be brought to us at the front desk after 4 different staff members came to ask if they could help us. And that after we asked reception to bring the boxes to our room when we checked in. We complained about the housekeeping but the iron and ironing board was still standing against the wall. Very disappointing! The front desk staff could also be more helpfull and warmer. It felt if they did us a favour.

Room Tip: We got a room on the top floor, very good view.
