The staff (Sanjeet and Tracie) were the best host, hostess we have ever experienced at any hotel. They made us feel right at home. Thank you. The food was delicious and Paul playing live music in the lounge was excellent. May we suggest a plug(s) in for charging on both sides of the bed.

We had a great stay with the family a couple days over March Break. The breakfast buffet was amazing, the staff were friendly. The only thing we didn't love was how hot the hotel was. Our room was very warm even with windows open. The AC didnt seem to be working. The front desk did get us a fan which was helpful. The location is great, we would stay here again.

We every year take advantage of the March break package. It’s great as always! The staff were excellent 😊 My only feedback which is small is pizza that was provided as part of the March break package was not editable(covered in flour on the bottom) Overall we really enjoyed our stay and we will likely be back next year

Incredible location, amazing view of the harbour - check in is super fast, staff supremely professional - you know you're in a classy place as soon as you arrive...Food is excellent, great selection of beverages - Beds super comfortable - I gotta be honest if I could afford it - I'd live there 🤣🧨🤝 But the staff from reservations to room cleaning make the vibe. I travel for a living and this is my favourite place to visit - thank you all at the Westing

This Westin is wonderful. An older hotel with very nicely updated rooms & interior. The linens were so soft & a soft fluffy down comforter on edge of the bed made everything cozy. The bathroom had a rain shower head w/ great pressure. I didn’t expect that nice touch. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. It’s a very convenient location. I’ll be back next time I’m in the area.

Very clean, beautiful, and well-located hotel. (Grocery and wine store within steps, near many super restaurants and coffee shops, and beautiful view of the water.) Front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful, room was clean and well-equipped, and the pool and hot tub were lovely. Will stay here again for sure!

Excellent service and value! We love staying at the Westin and it is our go to hotel in Halifax the past few years! Never have we experience such great service from reception, at the bar and restaurant for breakfast. A lot of history and charm, great value for all that included.

I have stayed at every Marriott property in the Halifax/Dartmouth region at one point or another and this is my favorite place to stay. The customer service is unmatched, from the valet parking attendants to the front desk staff, and the restaurant/bar staff. The value is incredible and it's clear that management does an excellent job making customers feel welcome and appreciated. I stay here as often as I can. As a long-time Platinum member I have stayed at dozens of Marriott's across the globe, mostly North America, and this ranks as one of the very best. Located in a great location with some of the best views of Halifax Harbour, a short walk to downtown and dozens of restaurants and shops. Pool is a nice size, as is the hot tub, and kept clean. Ample parking and A+ valet parking which takes mere minutes to get your car. valet is right next to hotel entrance). Regular parking is an open lot with lots os spaces behind the hotel. Buffet breakfast is one of the best in the city, (included for Platinum members) and they are amazing with special diets. My wife has Celiac Disease and the chef walked her through all the gluten-free breakfast options and handmade a terrific omelet. Top notch service.
