Westin Atlanta: A $260 Disappointment 😤

Booked a stay at the Westin Peachtree Plaza Atlanta—a supposed 4-star hotel. My room was on the 54th floor, costing around $200 per night, plus an extra $60 for valet or $40 for self-parking. All in, that’s about $260–270 per night. Sounds luxurious, right? Well… my experience was anything but. 💸 First off, the room was surprisingly small, and the decor and facilities felt seriously outdated. Peeling chairs, cracked window frames, a closet door that wouldn’t open—you name it. The lighting was dim, and electrical outlets were way too scarce. I felt like I was on a treasure hunt just to charge my devices 🔦. The whole vibe wasn’t “classic charm” but more like “this place needs a renovation, ASAP.” The only plus? The mattress was decent—firm but comfortable 🛏️✅. But that was pretty much it. As for the view from the 54th floor? I’d expected something breathtaking, but the windows were small, dirty, and covered in reflections. The Atlanta skyline looked more like a blurry postcard from the ’90s. All in all, I couldn’t help but feel a little ripped off. The idea of a "star-rated hotel" felt like a relic of the past. These days, what truly matters is thoughtful design, modern comfort, and attention to detail—things many newer boutique hotels and even some high-end hostels are doing way better. This stay taught me a clear lesson: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 "Stars don’t always mean quality, and a high price doesn’t guarantee a premium experience." #WestinAtlanta #HotelReview #AtlantaTravel #DisappointingStay #TravelTruth #LuxuryFail #BusinessTrip #HotelProblems #HonestReview #TravelTips
