The Westin Poinsett Hotel

The place is old.. there is no food for under $10 a plate and we are talking like each idem like $10 for a muffin and $10 for eggs and coffee is like $5-10 dollars. The people are nasty they don't tell you there is a local Mc Donald's and stuff for normal people around the corner when you ask. Their answer is " Not in Downtown"( in other words beneath them or oh how low class). And there is within a few blocks away... There were stains on the carpeting in the room that were unidentifiable.

They put bathrobes for you to buy in the closet for $90 that have been used and ripped... There are no gift shops with novelties for people, that have key chains and fun things cheap things. The building next door has broken windows and is dirty looking. The hotel itself is not as nice as it looks in the pictures the dining area is smaller so is the lobby... They are over priced. Its definitely for a snob who likes to tell people how to live and what to think and that has no taste or personality and no human quality's.. They are not human friendly to smokers..(I don't smoke but a friend that was with me does) They make the warning if they smell smoke or see anything that says you smoked in the room they will charge you a $200 cleaning fee....There is nothing around the area worth seeing or doing.

You would go broke on a trip to this hotel everything in it is a gimmick to make more money.... They take a credit card to supposedly hold the room and put a $50 hold. If you do not use their Valletta parking before you check in you get a ticket to park and they will charge you for parking instead of just validating it. Once you get the room key its free to park in the lot and get in and out of the lot..

Another rip off gimmick. The town itself if a waste of businesses that have gone out or some that are just coming in. The ones coming in are a waste because they have all these expensive over priced items that are not only ugly but they are useless, pointless and unfun...

If your on a trip business or pleasure you want to enjoy yourself.. I give this trip a huge thumbs down it was not fun and it was not up to my standers of living....

They have video games that are on a play station system they want to charge you $65 to play. So there is really nothing for a child to do or an adult who is bored.. All the business around are over priced and lacking real entertainment...

The rooms lacked color and a warm feeling they were very cold and plan. No decoration and what was there reminded you of a funeral parlor in the angels hanging above the beds..... I will say the beds were comfortable. but that was the only thing that was good..

Nothing fun, Nothing Enjoyable , No Entertainment for the family, Nothing for Kids Or Adults that are big Kids. Expensive, way over priced and pretty much a waste of time and money. Lacks the feeling of being human and being able to relax and have a nice time.

I travel a lot for business and returned to Greenville for an annual client visit. I stayed at the Poinsett last year and had a pretty mediocre visit. I have to say that my recent was much improved. The beds were awesome (the front desk told me they just got new mattresses), the staff was very outgoing and welcoming, overall feeling of the hotel was much warmer than my previous visit. The location is ideal and the management seems to have made a lot of improvement in the staff. I will stay at the Poinsett when I return next year.

We stayed here a month ago and we were generally happy. Didn't have any problems. Rooms are nicely appointed if a little small. Doesn't have all the in room amenities of newer hotels, but its supposed to be a little old fashion by its concept. Great convenient location if you need to be near downtown.

I travel to Greenville frequently on business, and had grown tired of staying at the Soviet-style Hyatt down the street and wanted to try the much more outwardly glamorous (and more expensive!) Westin.

I booked a room for a week's stay and am now 2 nights in, and have been majorly disappointed. My room is a box with absolutely no imagination. The windows are single pane (is this still even legal?) and even on the 8th floor I hear absolutely everything that happens on the busy street below.

I swear someone is vacuuming the hallways from midnight to 1am, and the first night my alarm clock (which dates from the Reagan administration and is a $10 Sony) woke me up in the middle of the night. I have no bathrobe in the room (so much for "heavenly bath") and there is no mini bar. The television is a big fat Zenith (the only thing "flat" in the room is the $4 bottle of water), the hotel is dated and incredibly overrated.

If the Hyatt is a 3-star and the Westin a 4-star, I shiver at thinking what a 2-star in this town looks like.

Stayed in Oct 07. Nice historic hotel, walkable downtown. No complaints and will stay there again next visit.
