| Guests Review of the Westin Bayshore Hotel Vancouver |
| May 14, 2010 In my work, I see an awful lot of hotels. And over the years I have become increasingly picky and particular about the sort of place I stay at. Those places have to look after the small details. The staff has to be pleasant and helpful. Thee food has to be good. The beer selection in the bar needs to be interesting. The room has to be clean and comfortable. The Westin Bayshore is all of that. And the location on Coal Harbour, near Stanley Park, makes it even better. There is absolutely nothing to complain about at this hotel. OK, there are no coffee mugs with the in room Starbucks coffee. But that's a pretty small complaint when everything else is pretty well perfect. Guests Review of the Westin Bayshore Hotel Vancouver May 6, 2010 Birthday wish Arrived at the Westin Bayshore and was a little disappointed by the dated 60s design. The first hotel room we were allocated had a great view of the marina and the sea planes landing. However due to next door neighbours smoking on balcony (considering a non smoking hotel and hanging over balcony we were moved to the 12th floor of the tower. The tower had excellent views of the marina and the mountains. This hotel was booked as it as a celebration of my 30th Birthday and we decided on somewhere special we were not disappointed. After one day we returned to find a plate of fruit and pastries with Happy Birthday which was a lovely touch along with a birthday card. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of things to do in Vancouver, we arranged to go whale watching to Victoria, had afternoon tea in the Empress and flew back in a sea plane a great day all round. The Capilano bridge was a great trip and zip wires as Grouse Mountain. We then booked a car from reception and went to whistler for the day which was a great drive and went ion the famous peak to peak gondola. Vancouver does have it all beaches, mountains, shops, sports, skiing I just loved it and the Westin Bayshore was the perfect base for the perfect holiday. Guests Review of the Westin Bayshore Hotel Vancouver May 3, 2010 I just wanted to note what a great job the the staff of the Westin Bayshore did in late April in hosting a week of G8 Roma-Lyon meetings in Vancouver. I have been to a lot of these meetings over the years and I know how much attention to detail is required to make things work out well. The meeting rooms were comfortable and functional, the breakfasts and lunches were very good, the coffee breaks were well done, the reception was top-notch, not only the location overlooking the marina, but the food and drinks, and the hotel staff was kind, courteous, friendly and helpful. My room was fantastic, overlooking the water, and the view of the mountains and the marina was spectacular. In fact, it is difficult to find a view that is not beautiful in Vancouver. The hotel is beautifully situated right on the water, has great public areas and, of course, my favorite a Starbucks right in the lobby area. Some of my colleagues enjoyed swimming in the heated pool and going to the very classy spa at the end of a long day of meetings. I say to the Westin staff, congratulations on a job exceptionally well done, and I have written the hotel manager to let her know how well her staff performed. It has been a very long time since I wrote in praise of a hotel, but I thought that exceptional service and hard work should be encouraged and praised. I also copied our Canadian counterparts who were responsible for setting up the meetings so they would also know what a great job the Westin did. Guests Review of the Westin Bayshore Hotel Vancouver Apr 30, 2010 We have stayed here before and as far as we are concerned there is no other place to stay in Vancouver. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay there again. The staff is excellent and I would dary anyone to say otherwise. All of them go the extra mile for guests. We highly recommend this hotel. Guests Review of the Westin Bayshore Hotel Vancouver Apr 24, 2010 My husband and I stayed at the Westin Bayshore in April 2010 for a business conference. The hotel is in an excellent location and both Stanley Park and the downtown area are a 10 to 15 minute walk away. Our room in the tower was very nice although quite small. It had a vew of Stanley Park, but the balcony was not big enough for a chair, so we could only enjoy it from inside the room (it would have been nice to be able to sit outside). Service in the hotel was consistently excellent. Every staff member I dealt with was friendly and efficient. The room was quiet (except for noise from the marina outside) and the common areas of the hotel were always spotless. The fitness centre was okay but the pool was not big enough for swimming laps. There were a few small things that surprised me at a hotel at this price point (my room was $289 a night). First, they seemed a bit stingy with the in-room suplies. There was no sewing kit, no shoe shine cloth and no city guide. Small things, but when I get to a strange city in the middle of the night, I don't want to leave the room to look for supplies and info. There was a coffee maker with a good selection of Starbucks tea and coffee, but it only came with 2 paper cups, 2 individual creamers and 3 sugar packets (they were replaced daily). Again, a bit stingy, and since there were no coffee mugs in the room we could not make more than one cup of tea or coffee each. The first day we had breakfast at the buffet downstairs and I was not impressed. It was $26, and the waffles and bacon I selected were cold and hard. When I spoke to the hostess, she had the kitchen make me a fresh order, but the supplies on the buffet were not changed. Some items on the buffet were finished and were not replaced. Finally, the room came with a card stating that customers could help the environment by declining room service. If you chose this option they will give you a $5 voucher to use in the hotel restaurants. This seems to be a new trend in hotels, but I find it truly ridiculous. How does it help the environment if my room isn't cleaned? They only change the sheets if your request it (which is fine with me), but if I'm paying close to $300 for a hotel room, I don't want to make my own bed and clean my own bathroom. It seems to me that they are using the environmental angle to get away with offering less service. On a related note, there was no bottled water in the room and a sign urged guest to help the environment by drinking tap water. That's a nice thought, but when I'm in a strange city and heading out to do some sight seeing, it's nice to be able to grab a bottle of water to take with me. If hotels are serious about helping the environment, maybe they should provide reusable water bottles or coffee flasks (I ended up buying both at the Starbucks downstairs for $12 each).
