Reviews
The staff was very pleasant and polite. The conference facilities, while in the lower levels, were very accommodating. The set up staff were hard workers and very prompt at setting up and taking down. They were undergoing a renovation while I was here, the finished product will enhance the experience.
During our stay, we had a small matter that needed to be addressed, and Brett Haduch, the manager, went above and beyond to resolve it. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care made us feel like true five-star guests. The way he handled the situation exemplifies outstanding leadership and customer service.
The entire staff was incredible in every way—courteous, attentive, and consistently welcoming. I highly recommend The Westin Downtown DC and would absolutely stay here again. An outstanding hotel with an exceptional team.
Great breakfasts, close to the Metro, wonderful staff!
What I don't understand is how is it allowed that someone can pre arrange a party in their room with approximately 50-100 people on a floor that has guest rooms who now cannot sleep due to all the noise and the people hanging out in the hallway talking loudly. That party should have been done on the lower level where the conference rooms are. And I should be credited 1 nights stay for my inconvenience not just $100.
I will never stay at a Westin Hotel again and I will make sure that I tell people that it's the worst hotel I've ever stayed at

The staff was very careless and absent. The manager was rude and condescending (telling us that our complaining style was wrong -- we tired to be as polite as possible). And the food quality was completely was lackluster as well.
Never again will I go back to Ping Pong.
Clearly they were understaffed the night I was here and it showed in the slow and error-prone service. The few staff on duty spent most of the night running around like headless chickens, they tried their best but really the blame must lie with management in under-staffing the joint.
In my case, the main problem was around a side of sticky white rice I had originally ordered to come with my first course of dim sum. It actually showed up at about 10 minutes after I had finished the dim sum. I was intending to order more dim sum so I asked the waiter if he could take it back and just keep it warm until my next course came, he actually offered to just give me a fresh one during the next course which was appreciated. Unfortunately the rice never came back, I got the rest of my 2nd course as ordered but the rice never materialized. In the end, I didn't even have to tell the waiter to take it off the bill, he did it virtually automatically so again I do not blame him for the overall bad service, he was clearly under a lot of pressure.
Also I heard the table next to me which was a large group of girls complaining as well so clearly I was not the only one having issues that night.
This place really needs to get their act together. Ping Pong is a widely recognized chain now and is considered fairly upscale so the service needs to match the amazing food (and cocktails!) on offer here.
