What Is Westin's "Heavenly Shower"???
 
I am very impressed with Westin's Heavenly Beds. That was a great marketing move and the beds are nice enough that I now sometimes consider staying at Westin just for that reason.<BR><BR>Now that have something called a Heavenly Shower.<BR>What is it like?<BR>What's different about it?<BR>Anyone know?

It's two "rain" shower heads mounted in the bath... which SUCK if there is no pressure to begin with! The amenities are supposed to be "special" too but they are only a little better than before. My own products are better.<BR>The beds ARE great, though!

Thank you very much TvlPro!<BR>I've been tempted to book a Westin in a city in which I already have a couple other favorite hotels, but I think I'll hold off.<BR>I think you may have saved me some disappointment.<BR>Gracias!

I agree with TvlPro - water pressure is the name. I judge most hotels simply on the water pressure in the shower!<BR><BR>Recently stayed at the Westin SFO. It had the "Heavenly Shower" and it was. Two huge shower heads with great pressure....aaaahhhhh!!!!

The "Heavenly Shower" and "Heavenly Bed" at the Westin Galleria in Houston didn't make up for the old tired room (last renovated in the eighties, according to the desk staff) and befuddled employees.

I made the mistake of requesting the heavenly shower at the Westin in Dallas. Two hispanic bellhops came into my room unannounced and proceeded to tinkle on me.

At the Westin Maui you can't be any taller than 4' for their heavenly shower. We both had to scoot down underneath it to rinse our hair. The new rounded shower curtain helps though. I hate when the shower curtain sticks to you in that tiny bathroom they have in the ocean tower.

I guess the bellhops in Maui are a lot shorter than the ones in Dallas that Fred had.<BR>

The water pressure at the Westin in Providence is just fine. The shower heads are adjustable and you can turn the lower one off. After long hours at the convention center, aim the upper one at the back of your neck, lower one at the small of your back.
