“Might have to come again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Me and my friend decided to go to Vancouver for the weekend of feb 4, As we only decided that evening we stayed up and waited for our flight at 7am. And before boarding I booked through Expedia and got a price of 125/night and so booked here. Arrived at the hotel around 8 and was in need of some sleep, asked if we could do an early check in and they very kindly said they could accommodate us. Stayed in a traditional deluxe room 507 and was not disappointed although not the view of the whole harbour but still had a great view of the water and mountains still worth the price Beds were great. Shower was well needed.

Sadly had to leave 7pm as I was needed back home in calgary. So this weekend I have decided to return at this hotel as I was so impressed. This time im staying for the whole weekend.

“Beyond Amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Our stay was originally planned for 2 nights as part of my birthday celebration. I ended up coming 2 days earlier and staying two nights more as my husband broke his leg skiing and was in the hospital.

The hotel and service was amazing. Michael F., one of the managers, went out of his way to accomodate us and make the hotel our home away from home. I have never experienced such amazing service in my life - and I travel a lot (SPG Plat). The things the hotel did for us:
*sent me a beautiful cupcake/cake in celebration of my b- day. I also got a hand drawn card with my name and signed by the staff of the hotel.

*the manager, Michael F., met us personally at the hotel when my husband was released from the airport and wheeled him up to the room. They also had gotten flowers for the room for when he arrived.

*offered to send lunch for my husband and i while he was in the hospital.

*sent us boxed breakfasts for our trip to the airport when we were leaving.

Overall, the hotel went above and beyond and treated us like VIPs. Al the staff was very kind and helpful. It was very unexpected, generous and genuine. We will definetly be back to the hotel on a future visit.

Thank you Westin Bayshore!

We were surprised to this contemporary room with beautiful bathroom and very comfortable bed. We stayed on one of the top floors in the tower. Beautiful view of the bay. Within walking distance from Stanley park and nice bars and cafes.

“Great birthday!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

My husband and I were celebrating my birthday and we stayed at this hotel one night at the end of December. It is centrally located, the rooms are well-appointed and the hotel has beautiful views. The woman who checked us in, Jenifer knight, was kind enough to upgrade our room and send a nice note and fruit up for my birthday. We will definitely stay at the Westin anytime we are back in Vancouver!

Room Tip: The higher up, the better your view of the water and mountains.

“Expensive and Nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Very nice hotel. Staff are great - the cleaner I seen everyday was especially friendly. Internet was expensive and in all the travel I've had this was the first I had to pay for internet - but apparently that is acceptable and reasonable for Vancouver.

Awesome beds, sheets, pillows, etc.

In-room Starbucks coffee was not very good, but there is a full Starbucks coffee shop in house that was nice to have.

All the food and drink is extremely expensive - $28/person for breakfast.

Most, if not all, rooms have a small balcony to step out on.

Thermostat in my room did not appear to work until the last few days of my trip. The first 4 days it would only go as high as 19.5 C.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a waterfront view.
