“Pricey parking. Comfortable hotel.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I've really come to enjoy the Westin hotels. You can rely on them to be clean and comfortable. My last trip to Calgary was no exception. I was in town for interviews and the staff were very accommodating in placing me in a quiet room. The room has all the usual amenities but free wifi is not included in all rooms (some of the rooms you may need to pay for wifi so check this before you go). Good selection of tv channels. Comfortable bed. Very clean room.

In addition to room service (slightly pricey --- entrees are usually $15 and up). There is a Keg and Starbucks at this location, with Old Spaghetti factory very close by so there is no shortage of food. Check-in and check-out were easy and when I encountered a problem, the manager was great at contacting me after my stay and rectifying the problem. Parking is $$$ at $30-$42/24hours. Downtown parking in calgary is expensive but still might want to see if maybe you can find a cheaper parking price in a nearby parkade.

A bit pricey but worth the splurge. Was not disappointed.

“Top Notch Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Westin in Calgary for 2 nights. The first night we stayed with our son and the following night we moved to a Deluxe King room. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. We had a wonderful time and felt that we were treated so very well. There were 2 things that we asked for and were accomodated with both. We love the location. The breakfast was delicious with so many choices. The staff in both the hotel and restaurant were efficient and most pleasant. We look forward to staying there again.

Room Tip: If you plan to use the pool ask for a tower room otherwise you have to go through the lobby to get...

“Better of the few business hotel options in downtown Calgary”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

If I was to review this hotel in another city, it would get a lower ranking. But in downtown Calgary, the business class hotels are sadly overwhelmed and they know you are a captive audience and don't need to try as hard. The Westin is no exception - it is fine, I'll probably stay there again, but I'd like them to try a bit harder for the business crowd!

Pros
- great location for business stay - walking distance to businesses in downtown core
- pretty hotel, it looks very nice and is updated
- well rounded breakfast buffet ($25, but included for Platinum members)
- healthy menus for room service
- indoor pool for swimming some (short) laps
- free water bottles for spg preferred guest. Calgary water can taste over-treated at times.

Average
- gym has lots of cardio machines, but older, outdated models and always busy after work. There is one multi-function weight machine that doesn't appear to function.
- while decor is nice, room layout can be odd and hard to work in, for a business travel trying to multi-task (work, watch tv, and eat)
- no turndown, which I don't miss, but would be nice to top off water bottles or towels at times
- heating system was not really adjustable.
- no option for delivery of newspaper to room. just provided at the elevators.
- no business lounge

Cons
- no recycling!! Really? even the motels in eastern Saskatchewan now offers in-room recycling
- gym weightroom is very very small & not well equipped. it felt crowded with 2 people in there. AND, you need to walk through the lobby and up another elevator to get there.
- the usual exhorbitant resort fees (this ISN'T a resort) for internet access of most business hotels. If Starbuck and the above mentioned SK motel can offer wifi for free, why can't business class hotels?
- paper cups for in-room coffee machine. Please give us ceramic!
- humidifiers are provided, but they are impossible to fill using the bathroom faucet orientation!

“Most disappointing”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Imagine the surprise when we walked into what was supposed to be an upgraded room (Starwood Preferred) to find that the bathroom still had fingerprints on the mirror and the table between the beds was dusty! The vanity mirror in the bathroom was broken and even though we asked for it to be fixed, no-one ever came! I would not stay here again.

Room Tip: If you can upgrade to the tower, do so as this may result in a better room.

That pretty much sums it up. I stayed at the Westin in Edmonton too and can tell you that both were top notch for service!
