I loved my stay here so much! Facilities were clean and up to date. Location is great. Of course you have the proximity to the mall. Parking is free which seems to be unique for the area. Lots of people even at night and especially on the weekend but it keeps things lively and does not interrupt the experience at all. 15-20 minutes from everything I needed!

Top notch service all the way! From the time I got out of the car, it was very welcoming. I met Maha the Velet manager, he and the staff really took care of me. Definitely one of my favorite hotels in the city!

We stayed at this hotel for a night and it was seriously amazing. It's right above The Galleria Mall, so super convenient for shopping and eating. You can go straight into the mall from the hotel, and they even give you lavender oil to help you sleep. The rooms are big and the bed is really comfy.

Nice, convenient hotel attached to the Galleria Mall. I was able to check in early on a Sunday around 1pm. The hotel clerk was friendly, I asked for an upgrade but none were available for a double queen room, instead I was given access to what I believe was M lounge benefits. This was nice breakfast, coffee, and snacks in a private room that required key card access. Paid parking right across from the hotel was about $20 per day. Valet is much higher and frankly not worth it. We were visiting DelFrisco’s Restaurant which was a quick 3 minute walk from the hotel. We also were able to access the mall from the 3rd floor. Great spot, nice rooms, clean facility. I will definitely return.

Lovely hotel with a very nice location next to the mall. The staff seemed friendly and the room was nice with a very comfy bed. Gym was also very good.

The best thing about the hotel is location. Right in downtown Houston and it opens into the Galleria mall. Lots of places to eat around and walk around. The hotels are not new and could use cleaning and renovation. But rooms are super spacious. Microwave and iron in the room. The small refrigerator barely cools and they could have more variety of flavored tea in the rooms. The Fitness center is pretty decent Everytime we visit Houston, we’ll be staying here

Upon arriving at the front drive of the Westin Oaks, Maha provided excellent service greeted us warmly and assisted my wife and me with our luggage right away. Their professionalism and positive attitude made our visit enjoyable. I’ll definitely return.

My experience at staying with The Westin was very satisfying. Beginning with the greeter service at valet. I was helped by the manager Maha himself and from there was taken care of splendidly. In my room there was peace and comfort just the way i wanted.
