• It was right in the airport.

“Beautiful room, great bed, wonderful bath facilities. Television controls were awkward, and there was no guide for channels.”

• The beds and pillows were as described heavenly.

“This was the hotel to stay at if you are traveling out of DTW and need a place to stay. I highly recommend it, staff was very pleasant and did not treat us any different than other guests. Rooms were very quiet and well maintained.”

“This hotel has no real negatives. Two things. It's in Detroit and it has no real outdoor leisure areas.”

• Its location is the best of any hotel in the world.
• Charging extra for Internet is absurd.

“This hotel combines location and luxury in a way that it unprecedented. I already loved flying in and out of the McNamarra terminal in Detroit. This makes it a pleasure to have an early flight.”

• Nothing.
• Internet did not work until 3am. Than they charged me $9.95. No ice on 1st or 2nd floor.

“If you don't want internet, want to walk through the hotel and go up 3 floors to get ice because all the machines are not working this is the place for you. It's noisy, dirty and the staff is not very friendly. I would never stay at this hotel again.”

• The ambiance is peaceful and welcoming.

“The Westin is a premier luxury hotel. It is beautifully appointed with peace and harmony as the central style. For harried business travelers, this is a haven of comfort and the perfect place to recharge. What a treat to catch an early morning flight after a good night's rest with just a few steps to the gate!”

• It was clean.
• Terribly difficult journey from parking ramp to room. Tough with a wheelchair.
  

“Parking is $19/night. The walk from the ramp to the room was about 10 minutes. Very difficult with one person in a wheelchair. We had to take 4 separate elevators each time when going between the room and the vehicle. The hotel may be great for a traveler using the airport, but for a family visiting it was sub par. For some reason the large 42" TVs had poor reception. There was no noise from the planes taking off.

• Love the fact that it has its own security entrance into the airport!

“The room was sleek, beautiful, comfortable - with an enormous flat panel tv and a window overlooking the gorgeous atrium (with bamboo shoots and a koi pond). Enter directly from the McNamara terminal and use the hotel's own security entrance to return to the terminal. So convenient!”

• Rooms were beautiful.
• Hours for massage were not long enough. They were not open late enough.

“When we were checking out, there was a guy who would not look up for anything to help us. He kept staring at the screen and was waiting for the other guy to help us, who was already helping someone else. We just had a quick question, we had already checked out, walked away and came back. But he refused to look and acknowledge us.”

• Dining - poor service waited one hr for dinner after 10 pm.

“Dinner was late, and sat under lights at 10 pm, menu selection was not the same as served dinner - substitution of ingredients. Other people served first after we had been waiting extended time period.”

“Love this hotel, within the DTW airport. Great for a late arrival or early AM departure. Nice rooms, although furniture is beginning to look at little worn (but still very nice!). Have stayed here 3 - 5 times and will definitely return.”

• The meal we ate at the restaurant was amazing!
• The top sheet on the bed was like a rough paper napkin. So uncomfortable!

“We stayed here one other time and loved it. Our room had the most amazing tub and shower and a private toilet and we were excited to stay again. Our room this time had no tub and no private toilet. Plus, the top sheet on our bed may have been 200 thread count but I think that's high. Overall, a great hotel but not the best stay this time.”

“I might fly second class but I always sleep in first class. Your bus boy dropped me and my luggage off in the wrong line and by the time I found out, I almost missed my plane.”

• Very quiet.
• Exclusive gate to check in (not if you have luggage).

“Had dinner one night, food arrived on a hot plate but cold food. So I sent it back, next try a cold plate with lukewarm food (note these meals are not cheap). So the manager gets involved which was nice and did not charge for meal but I was starving at that point. Room extremely quiet and peaceful given location. Touted special check in gate) but not if you are checking luggage, so I had to wheel my 50# suitcase up a steep ramp (there was no one to help me) then outside, to check it. They should have offered to help me. There are no vending machines in the hallway so if you want a drink, get it in the terminal before going to the room. Very Asian themed hotel but no Asian food on the menu. Bar small and very crowded, dining area lacks ambience considering price of food.”

• Nicer than other hotels in the area.
• Starting to show wear, time for improvements.

“The Westin at Detroit Metro Airport is still one of the nicer hotels in the immediate area. That said, the property is starting to wear a bit and if some improvements aren't tended to soon the hotel will lose it's appeal. Love the fact that dogs are allowed but perplexed as to why the hotel has not arranged an onsite potty area for it's canine guests. Public spaces lovely. Restaurant is good but overpriced (but you are a captive audience so what to do?). Some nice touches have disappeared such as the previously complimentary bottled water that they now charge $5 for. With the tiny shop only open certain hours and absolutely no vending options it seems the hotel wouldn't take such advantage of their valued guests.”

• Hotel has its own airport security checkpoint.
• Allegedly Asian restaurant serves same old beef, chicken, and fish with fancy Names.

“The room was small but lovely, amazingly quiet (you could see the airport runway right outside, but only the most distant of muted murmurs when planes took off). The lobby was very nice, the room service was too expensive and I thought the room service menu was very limited: steak with Asian vegetables is still steak; chicken with Asian vegetables is still chicken. The AAA guide said the restaurant had stir fries and noodle dishes and maybe it did, but the room service menu did not. The best part was having our own private security checkpoint right into the airport; that was very pleasant.”

• Attached to airport.
• Handicap room was not suitable.

“I liked everything about except having to stay in a handicap accessible room. There is no counter space in the bathroom. Hotel was not sold out. I should not have gotten that type of room. This was only shortcoming, but it was in my opinion a big one. I would not have been happy if I had to stay more than one night.”

• Classy hotel with nicely appointed rooms.
• Nowhere to potty dogs.

“The Westin is by far the nicest hotel in the area. It is starting to show a little wear and tear but is still lovely. The lobby is gorgeous, the rooms are nicely appointed, and the runway view is awesome (and quiet if you can believe it). My one gripe I love that they allow dogs but there is not any green space within walking distance to potty them. Please, Westin, build a small run for them. Indoor pool & Jacuzzi are nice and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Restaurant is good but a little pricey.”

• The staff was very friendly and helpful.
• Only one restaurant to eat at. Expensive, salty food.

“This hotel was a combination of upscale and penny pinching. The two bath towels were smallish. I expected that I would be able to order room service for an early flight departure but room service doesn't begin until 6 AM even though my flight was scheduled for 6:40 AM. I expected that a four star hotel would have room service 24/7. The food was very expensive and salty at the one restaurant that was in the hotel.”

• Staff was exceptional. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.
• Only one restaurant & pricey parking option (valet). Meals were pricey. Internet service was $10, should be free.

“We loved our stay at the Westin. Jennifer went out of her way to locate a Kids Pack for my children to enjoy, and really all the staff we encountered was very personable yet professional! Rooms were very clean and beds were extremely comfortable. View from our window was the Northwest terminal so the kids could see the planes coming and going. Kids loved the pool and hot tub. Some might have found the pool to be too small, but my kids had it to themselves so it was just right for them. Meal prices for the kids were very reasonable, but adult prices were high and there was only one restaurant. I would prefer another option for parking, but I guess being attached to the airport limits options. Internet access should be free like it is in most other hotel chains. Overall, very nice hotel and we would stay there again if in the Detroit area.”
