Our room was comfortable and the room ventilation system was well above average. The bed was also very comfortable. The hotel was quiet and the staff were friendly. However, the bathroom was not that clean. The faucet had moist brown crud all around the base.
Greg, 1-night trip

We really enjoyed our stay at the Westin. The room was very clean and beautiful. It was quiet. We really enjoyed the pool and that it had towels provided. The location is great. Bus stops close by, grocery store next door and discovery centre across the street. Would definitely stay again.
