Tolerable but I would definitely not stay here again.
Pros:

Staff was great. Location was pretty good.

Cons:

Shower was not clean and had hair all through it. The shower head barely had enough pressure for water to come out of it. Mattress was god awful. Sheets and towels had unidentifiable stains on them.

Beautiful Hotel, Confusing Entrance
Pros:

The Westin Minneapolis is a beautiful, clean, and recently renovated hotel. The historic bank building gives it a unique and stunning atmosphere, and the location is excellent for exploring downtown Minneapolis.

The only downside is that the hotel can be difficult to navigate when arriving by car. Coming from Marquette Avenue, it was confusing to find the reception, as the main entrance is actually on 7th Street. Better signage would make the arrival experience much easier.

My biggest disappointment was the pricing. I booked my first night for $180, but when I wanted to extend my stay by one more night, the rate jumped to $770, which was hard to justify.

Overall, it’s a great hotel with beautiful renovations and a fantastic location, but the confusing entrance and extreme rate fluctuation kept it from being a five-star experience.

Pros:

I have a very bad back, with arthritis in my spine. Your bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in in my life.

The bartender was rude. He judged me from the second I sat down!
Pros:

Booking.Com double booked me. I was told at the reception area that I needed to take it up with the 3rd party. That was incorrect. The 3rd party told me to take it up with The Westin. The Westin seems to have blown it off.

Cons:

They could have upgraded my room if they weren’t going to change the booking.

Mediocre at best.
Pros:

Great facility!

Cons:

My 3rd party booked me twice, and management wouldn’t take away the second booking. It would have been fine if they had upgraded my room, but they didn’t. The bartender treated me like a second class citizen because I wasn’t dressed to his liking!

Room and location as well facility was nice but the way they just decided to downgrade us was not
Pros:

Nice ambience with restaurant entering including classy dim lights and dark dining with a decent bar.

Room was nice with great bed and tremendous shower

Cons:

Valet parking can be tricky when street is at busy times of day

Unethical / shady business practices that will be explained by me booking in advance a king with city view and my payment being accepted. I even called a day before to confirm as advised by booking.com email. My elderly father was greeted by saying “we don’t have a king we will give u a 2 queen because we are fully booked because of concert

—-> they did not even offer any credit, I decided to talk to the desk myself and told them “I did not get what I paid for.” They upgraded my room after much unneeded discussion and banter at the busy front desk


Why do I need to talk to them myself it seems like there was the room I paid for after all

Stunning Downtown Hotel with Friendly Staff
Pros:

The staff is super friendly and were able to hold our bags until check in, since we took a bus from Wisconsin! Definitely recommend if you're looking for a place downtown. You can purchase the 4 dollar all day metro pass and get anywhere you want to go!

Cons:

There was a large family on our floor who booked separate rooms for their kids, and their kids were slamming doors, yelling, and running through the hallways. We were trying to sleep around 5pm since we had been up since 3 am to get to Minneapolis, that was the only disappointing part of our stay since we booked the hotel to get ready for our event and nap before hand.
