I didn’t want to leave, everything was perfect! The family next door had very loud kids, but I think that’s inevitable. The view, the bedding… my favorite hello, and saddest goodbye. Thanks for one of the best hotel experiences!

Our room was not ready at time of check in and we were not able to be provided a reason or timeline. Finally a different room was found after I inquired for more information. Suite is spacious and clean with lovely sitting area and nice view of the market. We came with three kids and the pull out had no pillows or blanket. Had to call three times and request to speak to a manager to get basic amenities for our kids to get to bed after waiting over an hour at bed time. At $500 a night, I would have expected basics.

The room was nice, comfortable bed, however for the price that we paid, I would have preferred an unobstructed view of the parliament and chateau Laurier. Also, the air conditioner unit was humming that was a bit inconvenience. The food at Dalys in the hotel was wonderful. Great breakfast and excellent service from Christian - italien extraordinaire!

The beds at the hotel were extremely comfortable, and overall, it was a quiet stay, aside from the fireworks on Saturday night. I stayed at the Westin over 20 years ago, and while the location remains fantastic and the staff are very friendly, it's clear that some areas of the hotel could use improvement. I noticed some signs of aging, such as fraying carpets, cracked plaster, and an older pool facility. Despite this, we had a great time and appreciate the wonderful location and hospitality.
