Our stay at the Westin was unfortunately, okay at best. The property was undergoing renovations at the time, which I am hopeful were in the rooms, as our room was very outdated and run-down. The wallpaper was bubbling everywhere, baseboards off the walls, the couch was very small, the bathroom was very difficult to use - it was on old wood top that was cracked and had no space. There was also a lot of issues with the water pipes that led to constant noise in our unit (we were compensated some Marriott points for the noise). However overall at over 450$/night I was incredibly underwhelmed and did not meet our expectations at all. It felt a bit like “student housing” the unit was so run down which is completely unacceptable for the price. The photos of the unit online were nothing like the unit we got. The staff however were lovely and attentive.

There was renovation going on so at times it was noisy. We were given a 10 dollar breakfast coupon I believe to compensate? The view was spectacular and it was nice shopping in the Rideau Centre.

The rooms are very nice. Appreciated the quiet, and also the very comfortable beds, lots of hot water. The staff was pleasant enough, but did not seem especially well trained. Did not give us either very much coffee, or very much lotion.

Everyone was great! Room was spotless. The only minor thing is a small area of tiles around the bathtub were uneven and possibly cracked?
