    - Although there is a pool, it is very small for the size of the hotel. - The SPA treatments offered seemed too expensive to consider. - The breakfast at Daly's was a buffet but was nothing great for the price paid BUT with a food court, dining outlets and grocery store just downstairs this was not a big deal. - In our room the hairdryer looked tired and needed replacing.

    - The location was great, right within the shopping centre with easy access to the train stations and metro. - Fantastic size to the rooms (we were a group and occupied a couple) and views from the room were brilliant too. - Staff was great and always happy to help. Be sure to tip for anything you ask for. - Excellent fitness area within the hotel. - The beds were very comfortable and other small touches like the USB connecting station, the hairdryer, the fridge, safe etc and other complementary items made our stay more enjoyable.

    When I checked out it was very early in the morning. I think 4 am or something like that and the receptionist who handled my checkout got all the details of what I wanted in my invoice/receipt wrong so I left her the details and my calling card to just email me the correct one as my Uber had already arrived. I never got that email. Also, she told me that the debit card reader wouldn't work when somebody intervened it suddenly worked. I found that strange.

    The room, the fact that it is connected to a mall and I like the breakfast and the friendliness of the people there. In a previous trip I also ate in your fine dining and had a good experience.

    Nothing really!

    The location could not be better: within walking distance of Shaw Centre, Parliament Hill, and CF Rideau shopping center. The room was spacious, well-maintained, and offered a magnificent view of the city through its large window.

    I hate the lifts/elevators, it’s the worst system I’ve ever come across in a hotel. We spent ages trying to go up and down. It didn’t help that there are no stairs available after the 4th floor. This is my only complaint and it was shared by quite a few other hotel patrons we were stuck with trying to go up or down.

    Always a pleasure to stay at the Westin, lived there view from our huge window.

    We were offered reduced housekeeping which we accepted but they only attend on 2 occasions over a 9 day stay, I wouldn’t agree to that in the future. Alternate days would be better

    Amazing location for our stay Express breakfast option was handy, Shannon was amazing and remembered our daily order

    There was noise outside the room during the night. Not sure the source but seemed mechanical in nature. The 8th floor didn’t provide a great view.

    Good hotel in a great location. Comfortable, modern, clean room.
