The Westin Seattle

The Westin is suppose to be a AAA 4-diamond hotel, but the quality of the hotel didn't seem like it. The concierge was extremely polite and helpful, the lobby and restaurants are great.. but the hotel rooms need to be updated. Or maybe it's the building itself that I have problems with. Because the hotel is designed in a circle, the hotel room is curved which limits the amount of space we have. The TV is at a painful neck-cranking angle! We were staying on the 15th floor and during the day we heard the building creaking repeatedly! I have never hear that kind of creaking before and it didn't feel very safe. Another small complaint is that the lamps in the room have a switch by the bulb and not on the stand or on a wall switch which would've been easier to reach.

The good part is because of the curved nature of the rooms, there is ample space between each room and you can't hear anything. You CAN hear things going down the hallway though - I guess the door isn't very thick.
