Okay
Our recent stay at the Westin Hotel on Michigan Avenue was somewhat disappointing. For a pricey $*/night, there weren't any amenities. Bottled water in the room was $5/each beyond the usual costly in-room bar items. The tub was plugged up when we...

I've found most Westins to be of consistently good quality. The Westin Michigan Avenue was no exception. Location is the key value add of this property - steps from the great shopping and dining of Michigan Avenue.
Service is good and overall the hotel staff is quick and efficient. I do think the property is a bit older than most, as I noticed a sign in the bathroom stating not to use both electrical outlets at once - right before the power went out from having both my hair dryer and straightener plugged in. Didn't take too long to get the power back - I did have to call the front desk for repair - but by that point I was stuck running downstairs to meet my boss with half-wet hair. That was about the only downside to my trip.
Rooms are a bit more dim than most - the rooms are large and while there seem to be plenty of lamps, there just isn't much light. Some might call it romantic (and it can be!), but when you're working on a trip or trying to read a book, it's a tiny bit annoying. Internet access was solid and I had a work desk near the entertainment center, so it was possible to watch TV, surf the Web and talk on the phone in one small portion of the room.
This is a solid hotel, and even with the power outage issue I'd still recommend it. To be fair, that was the only time I'd experienced that issue, and by the third time I visited the hotel (January 2006) the "don't use both sockets"" sign was gone.

Great Michigan ave. location -- few minute jog to lakefront, Rush Street, Hancock Place... Friendly service caters to business folks. Just felt guilty putting this charge on a company expense report.
The best location and value in Chicago.

Excellent
The location of the Westin is its greatest asset. Located directly next door to the John Hancock tower, and in the heart of the great shopping of Michigan Avenue make this hotel a tremendous value for its very affordable price tag. The lobby was a...
The bottom line is that we expected more from a four star hotel and the Westin disappointed us. When we booked it, we were excited about our stay, but our accomodations quickly disappointed us, because the room was much smaller than expected and...
