Westin at DFW Airport: Where the Sheets are Middling but the Water’s Hotter than Texas in July

The Bed: Just Dream, but Don’t Expect to Soar

In room 1311 at the Westin DFW, the bed scores a perfectly average 60%. The linens, mattress, and pillows all hit the middle mark – not too hard, not too soft, but right there in the Goldilocks zone of mediocrity. After a long flight, one might expect the plush embrace of Westin’s famed Heavenly Bed. Alas, the bed here is more of a cloud overcast with slight turbulence. It’s passable, but unlikely to inspire dreams of returning.

The Room: Good Bones, but the HVAC's Having an Identity Crisis

The room itself lands at a 55%, a decent enough space but plagued by more issues than a lost suitcase. Cleanliness is commendable at 80%, but the HVAC is about as reliable as the Wi-Fi (spoiler: it's not). With a chilling 20% score, guests may find themselves toggling between too hot and too cold, in sync with the Dallas weather. Noise levels? Let’s just say the walls in 1311 seem to be made of thinly-veiled whispers—of which you’ll hear plenty. The layout is serviceable, but style? Well, the room is doing its best, but it’s more economy class than first class.

The Bath: The Hotel’s Unsung Hero

Ah, the bathroom. The true oasis in this sea of mediocrity. Clocking in at a solid 76%, it is the real MVP of room 1311. With water temperature hotter than a Dallas summer and pressure to match, showers here are the highlight of the stay. Clean towels and a spotless sink further sweeten the deal. If there’s one thing that can wash away the room’s sins, it’s the bath. One might be tempted to spend more time here than anywhere else in the room.

The Hotel: A Decent Stopover with Little Flare

At the grand scale, the Westin DFW as a whole comes in at 60%. The lobby is nice enough, with a vibe that says "yes, this is a hotel lobby." The bar and restaurant serve their purpose at 80%, and the location is undeniably convenient for airport proximity. But if you're planning on streaming that mid-flight Netflix binge, think again. The Wi-Fi ranks at a dismal 20%, so consider practicing patience. Service is fine, but don't expect anyone to roll out the red carpet.
