    “The Westin is a very nice hotel with a lively baseball vibe both before and after an Astros game. The rooms are like new and have comfortable beds. The restaurant serves a hearty breakfast. I’m always disappointed in the $70 cost to park a car overnight! Overall I recommend this Westin when visiting downtown Houston.”

  • Simply great!

    “Westin Houston Downtown is a great all round venue to book. You're greeted from the moment you park to the moment you load up to depart. All of the staff are courteous, professional and ready to help our accommodate your needs. The room has a great view of Daikin Park with the room open. It was spacious, clean and very comfortable. For being downtown and the capacity at a high the house of celebrating was zero to none. Making perfect for a restful sleep at any time of the day. The atmosphere was amazing with many visiting AGGIES there to attend TEXAS A&M AGGIE NIGHT at the Astros game.”

  • Westin management experience

    10/10

    “If you ever have the pleasure of meeting manager Michael Lymanat the Westin, consider yourself lucky. He absolutely made our trip. He has that rare gift of making everyone feel like an old friend—he’s funny, engaging, and genuinely loves what he does, and it shows. Because of his recommendations, I stepped outside my comfort zone and tried food I never would have ordered on my own… and every single bite was amazing. (Try the candied bacon). He didn’t just recommend a meal; he elevated our entire experience. In a world where great customer service feels harder and harder to find, Michael is a breath of fresh air. The Westin is incredibly fortunate to have him, and he’s one of the biggest reasons we’ll be coming back. Thank you for the laughs, the incredible recommendations, and for making our stay one we’ll be talking about for a long time.”

  • Best Margarita on the Freaking Planet!

    10/10

    R2642IRscottb · Couples · 2026-07-24

    “We popped in for a drink before the Astros game and sat at the bar. My wife and I have consumed 7 million margaritas and our bartender that night, Cameron Matson, literally made one of the best we’ve ever had. For what it’s worth, this is the first review I’ve ever made online for anything. It was so good, we stopped for another after the game on our walk back to our hotel. The nachos were also very good. Lastly, we sat next to the Westin’s Director of Sales, Michael, who was a great dude and welcomed us back. We know where we’re staying the next time we go to a game. Go Astros!”
