Virgin rating

The hotel

There's only one thing that gets Texan shopaholics more worked up than cut price ten gallon hats and that's a stay at the Westin Galleria. This is your chance to gain unrivalled access to over 200 designer stores, restaurants and attractions without having to step foot outside. Once you've shopped 'til you've dropped, you'll find your guest room with a great big signature Westin Heavenly® Bed ready and waiting. Aside from your room's contemporary comforts and glorious Dallas views, you'll also be able to take advantage of the Westin's outdoor heated swimming pool and Second Floor Bistro, both of which are on hand to help you rest and revive after a good day exploring the city. From the largest whiskey bar in Dallas to towers of shellfish served at the Oceanaire Seafood Room, this is your chance to experience the superlatives of Texas. No sooner than the valet has parked your car will you be ready to find out just what all the fuss is about.

I was here for a 3 day business trip. Great location. Attached to a mall with lots of food choices. Rooms are comfortable and large. Elevators are fast. Only downside, had noticeable street noise; next to a major traffic road (my room faced it). Small bar/restaurant on the second floor.

Overcrowding of entire hotel due to an unsafe overbooking of rooms and people far exceeding safety guidelines. It’s obvious you don’t need to be an inspector. Good and beverage is iffy. Staff is friendly. I paid with points as a titanium Bonvoy member however the hotel snuck in an unauthorized 50+ USD redemption fee. Yes they charged me… Read more
Overcrowding of entire hotel due to an unsafe overbooking of rooms and people far exceeding safety guidelines. It’s obvious you don’t need to be an inspector. Good and beverage is iffy. Staff is friendly. I paid with points as a titanium Bonvoy member however the hotel snuck in an unauthorized 50+ USD redemption fee. Yes they charged me $50.00 to use my points to pay. This is a widespread scam among Marriott Properties. I’ve filed a complaint with Marriott International headquarters. In any event I can not recommend this property as it is a total cluster **** located in a lower end shopping mall that used to be “the place”. It’s no longer anywhere close to “the place” and the experience proves that. Read less

This former Grande Dame of the area has sadly faded. I spent a night this week and while there were plenty of people working the front desk- they lacked a certain panache that used to be present. Firstly, most of the staff were dressed in their own clothes in a variety of color schemes, instead of a crisp uniformed outfit as they once wore. I was greeted by a gentleman who simply asked’ “ can I see your ID?” Not, “Welcome to the Westin, how may I help you today?” As a platinum member I asked if I would be granted an upgrade and was immediately told No. The hotel was full. I assure you…. It was far from full. It’s only a night, so my room was good enough, very clean and had a decent view of the toll road and a seating area where the balconies once were. But there is definitely a lack of training present wit the staff. This hotel used to make guests feel as if they were about to have a high end experience. This visit was as spectacular as a Garden Inn. Lastly, elevators were having issues. Hallways were damp and humid. I ordered eggs Benedict from room service for breakfast. For $28 before tip in a hotel if this “caliber” I expect a proper presentation with a TRAY and a PLATE with metal CUTLERY and cloth napkins. Instead, I was handed a large paper bag with a cardboard box and haphazardly presented breakfast that had slid to one side of the box, plus greasy, burned hash brown potatoes and plastic utensils. You can DO BETTER Westin Galleria. My family and I have been guests of this hotel since soon after it opened in the 1980s, and to see such a downgrade of attention to detail is quite disappointing. Please stop using Covid as an excuse to downgrade the level of service while raising the rates. If you were going to serve me a lukewarm breakfast tossed into a cardboard box, then you need to be charging half of what you are. McDonalds has a better presentation. Hopefully this “skimpflation” will be remedied or I’ll sadly have to find new accommodations next time I visit. Read less

Very great service from Eman at the desk when checking into the room early afternoon. Upon returning late in the evening from a dinner meeting, the A/C was not working well in my room and was very hot and muggy. Other than that, the hotel was fine.

This hotel us In crazy serious need of renovations. Elevators were out due to an “electrical issue.” The bathroom was severely outdated but the biggest problem was the mold all over the tub and shower. When I asked if someone could clean it the hotel sent someone up who apparently sprayed a little bleach that did little to help. Pictures here… Read more
This hotel us In crazy serious need of renovations. Elevators were out due to an “electrical issue.” The bathroom was severely outdated but the biggest problem was the mold all over the tub and shower. When I asked if someone could clean it the hotel sent someone up who apparently sprayed a little bleach that did little to help. Pictures here are AFTER the “cleaning “. When I brought it to the hotel’s attention they said they would try again but never did and basically told me “too bad.” As a Marriott gold for life…sometimes platinum member i say run from this dump with terrible management.
