Negative Reviews
negative:
No free Wi-Fi in rooms.
Standard hotel rooms at the Westin Oaks do not come with free Wi-Fi connectivity. This is not to say that Wi-Fi is not accessible in hotel rooms (as opposed to just in the lobby), but there is an additional charge for this service.
negative:
Traffic and parking issues.
As part of the Galleria Shopping Complex, access to the hotel via motor vehicle can be quite difficult, particularly on weekends as traffic congestion issues are quite considerable. To further exacerbate the issue, the hotel only offers valet parking which comes at a fee, the free parking is not near the hotel and is easily congested.
negative:
Poor sound insulation.
Standard hotel rooms suffer from poor wall insulation and it is quite easy to hear the activities in neighboring rooms as well as hallways and outside areas.
