“This was one of the worst experiences. The hotel claims to have recently renovated and if that is so, may be they did not renovate every room. Or I'd hate to see it prior to renovation. We had an accessible room, but there was no hand rail near the toilet. We had the room for our 88 year old disabled mother for a special occasion nearby. When we got back to the room late, tired and mom in extreme pain, we found the room completely stripped of our belongings. Mom's meds, our clothes, luggage, everything. Mom started crying, I started trying to figure it out and learned that staff had taken our belongings out and put them in another room. But when the people who had engaged that room arrived they were upset because none of the items in the room belonged to them. So instead of putting our items back into our room they were stored somewhere. I did not get mom tucked in until Midnight. The hotel is in a very bad area of Vancouver and all night there were sirens, yelling and loud noises on the street. The bathroom was not thoroughly clean and there was rust and old scum around the toilet.To top it off the breakfast was abysmal. Bacon that was fried in stale grease, toast that wasn't even brown or crisp. I have had much better experiences with Motel 6, Holiday Inn Express, etc. This stay was horrible and traumatized my poor mom to the extent that she didn't sleep all night.”

• Great location.
• Very shabby, low quality room.

“Better suited for extended stay guests, the suite (but all together just the size of a large hotel room) has a full kitchen and the perk of a full washer/dryer, however the other furnishings were drab and unexciting. The ridiculously small bathroom was clean but cramped, and the bedroom was lit with cheap blue fluorescent bulbs that gave everything a sickly, zombie-like cast.”

• Location, room service.
• The ENTIRE 7th and 10th floors smelled like dog! Had to be moved twice. They may allow pets!

“Very good, but the internet in the rooms was down the entire week. Had to use the 2-computer "business center" which was inconvenient. Ended up getting access at the local starbucks, so that was TERRIBLE! Also, the entire 7th and 10th floors smell like dog! Horrible! Had to be moved twice! Room 703 doesn't have a shower, only bath, so beware! But if you are not staying on the 7th or 10th floors, AND the internet is working, AND your room has a shower, then this is the BEST place to stay! REALLY! Location is great! Staff is great! Room service, great! (Except on Friday night! I called 3 times, was placed on hold for over 10 minutes each time and never got my meal! But the room service is actually part of the restaurant next door, not the "actual" hotel staff.)”

• The staff was super friendly and helpful.
• Pool was not heated; or at least not heated enough.

“This hotel is in a great location. Downtown, Robson Street, waterfront, Stanley Park aren't far away. Davie street area has everything you need -- markets, shopping, restaurants. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We liked the suite set-up, with the one bedroom, fold out couch, kitchen with all appliances -- and a washer/dryer for doing laundry.”

• The location.
• The hotel staff was not very friendly.

“The hotel staff was not very friendly. The bed was terrible. They gave us a double bed and kept insisting that it was a queen and that they did not have a double bed. The whole experience was terrible. did not like that fact that they didn't even offer to change rooms and kept telling me that they are sold out. ”

• Kitchen in rooms.
• Very busy street - not so nice part of downtown.

“Given Vancouver is an expensive place to stay, this hotel was pretty good value for money. For a one-bedroom suite, the space was somewhat small but larger than a regular hotel room and with a nice small kitchen. Location is pretty good (downtown) with lots of food shops and restaurants - but it is not the prime shopping or theater area (those are a good walk away or short drive).”

• Friendly and helpful staff.
• Fire alarm @ 1:00am, room needs upgrading finishes.

“The hotel is becoming somewhat dated, I was told the Westing was the top of the line hotel in Calgary, so perhaps my expectations were set too high. The room layout was poor, not accommodating for children, and the carpet was torn, bathroom floor did not look like it had been damp mopped.”

• It was very peaceful & close to just about everything I needed I was looking for.
• I never saw anything offering a continental breakfast.

“It was very relaxing, peaceful, and very clean, which I am very impressed. The whole setting was just wonderful. You would never know that the main and busy street was just a few feet away.”

• Spacious and well laid out; great kitchen and washer/dryer.
• Slow elevator.

“This was a great hotel - having a kitchen and washer/dryer made a 6-day stay very comfortable. The rooms were modern and clean, the lobby was neat and fashionable and the staff pleasant.”
