Avoid this hotel at all costs. I have been in many hotels including other Westins and this has been by far least comfortable experience I had. Small rooms, a lot of noise, unhelpful staff, and generally cheap. The coffee maker is probably from 1931. Anything you need, you got to pay extra. Safe didn't work. Turning shower to cold was actually hot and vice versa. The AC vent kept falling off. The restocking was a joke. There's not a single room in the lobby I could sit and have a business call in quiet. I don't know why so many conferences are held here. Probably due to no competition?! Internet was so slow. The only good thing about this place is the location and being walkable to downtown. And they charged us above $450 CDN per night for a tiny double twin bed room. It was a last moment trip for me otherwise I would have never got this place.

The lobby is beautiful. The room was nice but the door to the bathroom was so narrow (picture a closet door) you almost need to turn sideways to go in and out. The breaker blew in the bathroom after using the hotel provided hair dryer for three minutes - nothing else plugged in at the time.

Had a double bed instead of a queen bed. Bathroom door would get stuck each time it was closed locking yourself in. They don’t notify you parking is a daily rate of $23. When you check in it just says parking is $23 but not per day.

This is a wonderful hotel. Staff is great, hotel is lovely. The only reason we didn't give it a 5 is because the rooms need to be renovated. The sink and bathroom tile were cracked and the carpet and bedding need an upgrade.
