| - The Westin Downtown is fantastic. My room was enormous and the Heavenly Beds were just that. There was both a couch and a desk so I could get comfortable or work or get comfortable and work. Three spacious closets actually included drawers and hid away things like the safe, coffee setup, etc. The bathroom was twice the size of a typical hotel bathroom, with a glass-walled shower and lots of counter space, not to mention the plush bathrobe. The television featured a wide variety of entertainment options, and they had provided two real (as in caffeinated) coffee packets and to-go cups. I wish I could have moved in. The workout center was smaller than I expected, but I had no competition for a treadmill and it was open 24 hours. The bar offered an excellent selection of local beers, light, dark and in between. I would have liked a few less chi-chi food options on the menu, though. Staff granted my request for an early check-in and a room on the floor I wanted. Another guest commented on the complimentary bottle of water and the second bottle for the almost laughable price of $1. The only few minor foibles were the phone--I couldn't figure out how to work it, and it wasn't labeled with an easy way to contact the front desk. Also, the body lotion was opened upon closer inspection. I really believe that any hotel stay should come with free Wi-Fi nowadays but they had made a nice effort to have a tiered pricing system. All in all, a great place to stay and close to many of the visitor draws in downtown Phoenix.
