92Location
96- “The location of the Westin Bayshore is also tough to beat. It's close enough to the city centre to enjoy Vancouver's urban offerings, yet sits on the waterfront right on the doorstep to Stanley Park.” 7
- “The fact that the Westin Bayshore sits at the doorstep to Stanley Park is a huge plus. It makes the Westin a perfect location for exploring and enjoying the park.” 7
Room
87- “A chaise lounge-like chair right beside the window invites relaxation, and the Westin's signature trademarked "Heavenly Bed" is all that its label implies. You truly do feel like you are sinking into a soft fluffy cloud when you snuggle into the luxurious sheets.” 19
- “We were very lucky to stay in a large space for our family. We had two rooms interconnecting, one was a suite with a massive balcony and a lounge. The second room had two king beds. Both had incredible harbour and pool views.” 1
Service
89- “The front desk clerk responded that she would check with her Manager and get back to us. Within 15 minutes there was a knock at the door and a staff member handed my wife her glasses. Miraculously they were in perfect shape, none the worse for wear despite the fall. The staff at the Westin deserve kudos for going above and beyond!” 7
- “As we pulled up to the entrance, a valet greeted us with an infectious smile, eagerly assisting us with our luggage before whisking away our rental car for valet parking.” 16
Bed & Sleep
91- “And, of course, the Westin's legendary "Heavenly Bed" lived up to its name, providing pure comfort and a restful sleep wrapped in luxurious sheets.” 16
- “I loved how the bar of soap was in the shape of leaf. Our bed was so comfortable, it literally felt like a giant cloud. I woke up so rested and revitalised.” 1

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “(I should have read the tips here first because I paid alot more for our rooms than most people did:o ) Here is why I am nervous, we did something similar on our January cruise. We booked the Sheraton Bal Harbor Resort in the Miami area with Hotwire. Yes, we were treated like second class citizens.” 13
- “The only real downsides are the extra fees for valet parking and Wi-Fi.” 4
- “ras like free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and free long-distance calls add value.” 4
- “The Westin is the way to go for a family vacay; the rates are super high in Summer because we have limited hotel stock in the city and its cruise ship season so all of the Alaska tourists are booking up the rooms.” 20
- “Rates are among the best in downtown Vancouver for value, and the property often sells out.” 4
- “The budget YWCA Hotel Vancouver offers basic accommodations with attractive, modern decor for rates that are hard to beat.” 4
- “I had found a good price with the Hampton Inn, although it may be a little further away from things--the price was good and I heard good reviews--not 4 star, but affordable!!” 13
- “So, ultimately, the net room rate was $127 for the night, taking into account the Visa gift card and the credit card promotion - fantastic value!” 7
- “Overall, I will not hesitate to stay at the Westin Bayshore again in the future. It is particularly good value if you can time your stay to take advantage of a Stay Vancouver Hotels promotion.” 7
- “But plan to skip the breakfast buffet (which some past visitors say is overpriced) in lieu of the neighborhood's more reasonably priced fare.” 11
- “The deluxe room type offers an incredible view and is not much more expensive than the traditional room.” 5
- “The hotel comes in at around the £210 mark per night, making it a treat for the most of us. However I can safely say it is worth every penny!” 1
- “And the stunning views command your attention immediately! Wow! Booking a marina or harbour view room is definitely worth the little bit of extra cost.” 19
- “Also a local and prefer the Westin when with kids as the outdoor pool is nice. The rooms are much nicer at the Westin but the restaurant at the Pinnacle, plus the lounge, usually means we stay at the Pinnacle.” 10
- “The hotel is in a great location, their lobby bar and showcase restaurant and is super popular with locals for dinner and drinks.” 10
- “The rooms are much nicer at the Westin but the restaurant at the Pinnacle, plus the lounge, usually means we stay at the Pinnacle.” 10
- “H Tasting Lounge is a culinary oasis that never fails to impress us. We've visited several times while living in Vancouver and couldn't wait to revisit during our stay at the Westin Bayshore. From the first sip to the last bite, H Tasting Lounge takes you on a tantalising journey from crafted cocktails to delectable bites.” 16
- “Because the H2 was closed during our stay, breakfast was a simple but nourishing takeout affair from T & Co Cafe.” 19
- “The on-site restaurant gets rave reviews, as do the views of English Bay and the location next to Stanley Park.” 4
- “Breakfast and service are just as good as at Bayshore.” 20
- “The lobby/restaurant at Pinnacle are nice. But rooms very dated <haven't stayed in 2-years>” 10
- “Breakfast runs from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and a wide selection of dishes is on offer. You can place your order and wait in an area set aside for exactly that.” 6
- “All we had to do was choose our items on the menu (shown above) by checking it off and choosing a time for it to be delivered in the morning. They came right on time and the food....oh my the food - tasted just as ambrosial as the restaurants! The meal for two adults cost approximately $100 USD.” 9
- “JW Parq has an incredible lounge with great breakfast, appetizers and dessert but it's on the opposite side of downtown next to stadium.” 10
- “The Westin Bayshore offers a made to order menu, as well as a buffet breakfast. The trouble is choosing which option you want because both are amazing. Their spin on avocado toast is pretty special!” 1
- “I also wasn't super impressed with any of the restaurants on offer, but I'm going to be honest and say I don't think I had a single good meal in Vancouver.” 20
- “I love the Bayshore. The breakfast, which is included with Titanium, is fantastic. You get the choice of buffet or from the hot menu, both in the restaurant. Service is phenomenal.” 20
- “The Westin Bayshore is up there with my top two hotel breakfasts in the world! Delicate handcrafted chocolates (who doesn't love it for breakfast), smoothie shots, pastries presented in wooden box drawers and the freshest platter of fruits I have ever seen.” 1
- “On our first morning, we treated ourselves to breakfast in bed. It was the perfect way to start the day, enjoying the views while preparing ourselves for the adventures ahead. The convenience and luxury of room service added an extra touch of pampering to our stay.” 16
- “ras like free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and free long-distance calls add value. There's a casual bar and grill on-site, and two excellent restaurants next door: Gotham Steakhouse and the chic Shore Club Restaurant.” 4
- “H2 Rotisserie & Bar - In the mornings, we were greeted with fresh and various cuisines. The Westing Bayshore and just about the best meals from a hotel for every single meal we ate.” 9
- “The in room dining breakfasts are nicer than the jw lounge breakfast too.” 20
- “There's a breakfast buffet and a separate seafood restaurant with a patio that offers beautiful views of the harbor.” 4
- “Still, the breakfast was tasty and delivered within twenty minutes as ordered.” 17
- “In 2017, the H2 Rotisserie & Bar stepped in with hearty comfort food (local free-range rotisserie chicken and flat-iron steaks).” 2
- “The menu for In Room Dining room service was a slightly less exciting version of Off the Drive, missing Avocado Toast and Eggs Benedict, among other things.” 17
- “I love the Bayshore. The breakfast, which is included with Titanium, is fantastic. You get the choice of buffet or from the hot menu, both in the restaurant.” 20
- “I got upgraded about 95% of the time I was there. We now stay at the Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver when all four of us travel together. Rooms have two queen beds. They still fit a crib in there. Breakfast and service are just as good as at Bayshore.” 20
- “Given its name H2 Rotisserie & Bar, it's no surprise that the specialty is spit roasted chicken. Served with fresh coleslaw and delicious fries, they put a fine dining spin on a simple dish.” 1
- “I thought the hotel was pretty nice, the breakfast was a very nice touch, and overall, I like the vibe of the hotel more than the JW, which I walked through to go to the spa-you do have access to most of the amenities at the JW except the lounge, so I can't say whether or not the lounge is worth it.” 20
- “The breakfast, which is included with Titanium, is fantastic. You get the choice of buffet or from the hot menu, both in the restaurant.” 20
- “A chaise lounge-like chair right beside the window invites relaxation, and the Westin's signature trademarked "Heavenly Bed" is all that its label implies. You truly do feel like you are sinking into a soft fluffy cloud when you snuggle into the luxurious sheets.” 19
- “We were very lucky to stay in a large space for our family. We had two rooms interconnecting, one was a suite with a massive balcony and a lounge. The second room had two king beds. Both had incredible harbour and pool views.” 1
- “The room itself was fairly standard and was pleasant enough, with a king size bed, big screen tv, a functional desk (with ample power outlets) and a chair in the sitting area.” 7
- “The bedroom holds a large King bed and a television. Here again, sitting out on the balcony to soak up the late-day light is very pleasant!” 6
- “In all, the room was quite spacious, and it was easy to move around in my power wheelchair. Every one of the room's features was accessible to me.” 5
- “As if a sofa and two chairs and coffee tables were not enough entertainment space in a well featured room, there was also a chaise lounger by the window. The window featured a world class view.” 17
- “The rooms are dated but they are starting to renovate and you can actually book a renovated room! The new rooms are amazing.” 10
- “The room was musty and the beds were not very comfortable. It was bad enough that I don't think I will ever stay at a Sheraton again.” 13
- “The tower was very, very nice and so was the room, especially the bed!” 13
- “The stand-out feature of the room, however, was the expansive sliding glass doors which provided panoramic views of the city, marina and harbour.” 7
- “My Junior Suite at the The Westin Bayshore Vancouver is on the 9th floor, with a splendid view over the Marina.” 6
- “The budget YWCA Hotel Vancouver offers basic accommodations with attractive, modern decor for rates that are hard to beat.” 4
- “In one of my half dozen stays or so there I once got a south facing room, which looked over the rooftop of the Bayshore's convention area. Not great.” 15
- “MrsWT73 had her comments about the room. She specially called the room "old" but that the location of the hotel was the best.” 17
- “The room also featured a sofa bed in a Murphy bed styled wall unit. The wall unit was a little imposing in a teak brown color, but fortunately, it wasn't a focal point of the room.” 17
- “With just my wife and baby the suites were great. I even had a favourite room they reserved for me.” 20
- “While indoor pools aren't normally too exciting, this one had a floor to ceiling window view of the Vancouver Sea Wall that ran along the side of the hotel.” 17
- “But some bathrooms are smallish, and the decor goes a bit heavy on clunky woods.” 4
- “Also, there was far less privacy in this room with all the people in the lower wing staring back across at you. Our first hotel room in the lower wing which faced east had no buildings immediately in front of it allowing for a more expansive view and greater privacy.” 7
- “Twin beds are tight and the sofa beds aren't the nicest.” 20
- “The work desk provided ample space for all types of disciplines. The view made it easier to catch up on posts!” 9
- “The couches were typically firm, and along with hotel furniture, was more built for industrial standards instead of actual comfortable sitting and relaxing.” 17
- “The work desk provided ample space for all types of disciplines.” 9
- “If staying at the Westin Bayshore, spend the extra money for a water view, you won't regret it. As well, an east facing room in the lower tower provides a nice expansive view or a high floor in the tower will provide an equally nice view.” 7
- “We opted for the Panoramic Suite on the top floor, and ended up being really happy with the room.” 17
- “The harbor views are spectacular, and you'll definitely want to book your room with this in mind.” 2
- “The room was basically the same as the tower room we had previously, but as it was on the opposite side of the tower it had a view facing west toward Stanley Park. Once again, the views were beautiful.” 7
- “The location of the Westin Bayshore is also tough to beat. It's close enough to the city centre to enjoy Vancouver's urban offerings, yet sits on the waterfront right on the doorstep to Stanley Park.” 7
- “The Westin is a little dated, but the location is my favourite. There's something to be said about stepping out the front door and already being on the seawall.” 20
- “I have stayed at the Wedgewood but not the Bayshore. I much prefer the location of the Bayshore.” 15
- “The Westin Bayshore is right on the Sea Wall in Coal Harbour, right downtown, and much better for taking your little one out on strolls and the like.” 20
- “Wedgewood is upscale, excellent service, very centrally located downtown and likely a little noisier, but not to the point that it would be a problem.” 15
- “I think the Bayshore's location shows the best of Vancouver. Why look at buildings when you can have a view of the water and mountains and be by Stanley Park and the Yacht Club?” 15
- “The Parq is an awful location. It's inconvenient to get to and isn't near anything.” 20
- “The large, sleek rooms may be the highlight, with subtle earth tones, floor-to-ceiling windows, and decadent marble bathrooms, but the Downtown Vancouver location is convenient as well.” 4
- “The location is awesome once you get there and you can walk on the seawall.” 20
- “The Westin Bayshore hotel is located in one of the most picturesque areas of Vancouver, adjacent to Stanley Park on the shores of Coal Harbour.” 5
- “The budget YWCA Hotel Vancouver offers basic accommodations with attractive, modern decor for rates that are hard to beat. It's a step above typical hostel-like hotels, and it has a convenient downtown location across the street from BC Place Stadium.” 4
- “With an amazing location right on the Seawall, guests can walk outside and start their morning jog along Vancouver's shoreline.” 3
- “Located in the heart of the entertainment district, the 67-room Samesun Vancouver is a lively and conveniently located spot.” 4
- “JW Marriott Parq The Douglas are definitely nice properties but not in a very walkable area with great restaurants surrounding it.” 20
- “Being Vancouver residents, we self drove over to the property. Although it's an older property, it's been well maintained, given it's prime real estate location.” 17
- “Agree it's not overly dated. It's like you're at an Oceanside resort (because you are) but you're a short walk to Stanley Park and have all of the incredible restaurants in Vancouver right there as well.” 20
- “The The Westin Bayshore Vancouver is ideally located steps from Stanley Park and the Marina.” 6
- “This cool, modern hotel has an outstanding location at the entrance to Stanley Park, with stellar views of Coal Harbour and the North Shore Mountains.” 11
- “The beauty of the Westin Bayshore is that it's located downtown, so it has the access to hundreds of shops and restaurants, but you're not actually located in the hustle and bustle of the city.” 15
- “The on-site restaurant gets rave reviews, as do the views of English Bay and the location next to Stanley Park.” 4
- “One of the finest hotels in British Columbia, Canada, The Westin Bayshore in Vancouver, offers wheelchair accessible guest rooms in a fantastic downtown location.” 5
- “The property has a prime location. It's situated right on the water in a mostly residential neighbourhood, with the Vancouver's twenty eight kilometre sea wall running in front of the hotel, with Stanley Park (among the largest city parks in North America) to it's immediate left, spectacular mountain views to it's North across the water, and downtown about a fifteen minute walk to it's east.” 17
- “Hughes reportedly was rarely seen and did not leave his room for the duration of his stay. This latter fact is a pity because one of the real draws of the Westin Bayshore is its superb location.” 7
- “The fact that the Westin Bayshore sits at the doorstep to Stanley Park is a huge plus. It makes the Westin a perfect location for exploring and enjoying the park.” 7
- “The hotel's 1960s bones are still there, and it's an excellent location for exploring Stanley Park and Denman Street.” 2
- “While it's not the most ideally located for cruise ship traffic, the location on the water is almost unparalleled by Vancouver hotels.” 17
- “Next door to the JW and neither are centrally located plus I hate casinos and they are both attached to it.” 20
- “The breathtaking views from the hotel were simply unparalleled. and the prime location of the hotel made it incredibly convenient to explore Vancouver's stunning attractions, including the seawall, downtown scene, sandy beaches and historic Gastown.” 16
- “MrsWT73 had her comments about the room. She specially called the room "old" but that the location of the hotel was the best.” 17
- “Located within walking distance of the lively West End, the 510-room Westin Bayshore Resort maximizes its spectacular natural setting with its own marina, outdoor pool and floor-to-ceiling window views.” 14
- “I usually always choose the pinnacle for location to everything and it's like a 4 min walk from the train station” 10

- “Westin Bayshore is in a way better location. Right on the seawall, close to Stanley Park and great food options. Best choice by far.” 20
- “The pinnacle is an amazing location for seeing Vancouver. Bayshore is nice, good to be closer to the seawall.” 10
- “The pinnacle is an amazing location for seeing Vancouver.” 10
- “The rates for the Westin Bayshore usually command a substantial sum in the summer. Thanks to it's great waterfront location in Vancouver right on the waterfront and being nearby to Stanley Park, its typically a popular place.” 17
- “Love waking up to a marina view from the Westin. It is on the older side, but nothing too bad.” 20
- “Bayshore has the view, proximity to Stanley Park and the beautiful new seawall - a definite don't miss if you like walking.” 15
- “Yes something deeply peaceful / really resonates with me with view! For me it's somehow cozy / reminiscent/ cool reminder that Vancouver is part of the "Pacific Rim"” 20
- “The view we had at the front of the Wedgewood was pleasant enough, for a city view. But no matter how nice, it could be any hotel in any city.” 15
- “We stayed in a Harbour View room, which we highly recommend when booking a room at the hotel. The moment we stepped inside, floor-to-ceiling windows unveiled a breathtaking panorama, showcasing the lively harbour, the tranquil expanse of Stanley Park and the majestic North Shore Mountains.” 16
- “Love waking up to a marina view from the Westin.” 20
- “The Panoramic Suites likely started off life as two separate rooms that have been joined through the removal of adjoining doors. Despite being older rooms, they are actually quite generously sized by modern day standards.” 17
- “Douglas can have some nightclub/casino noise. Most modern one. Next door to the JW and neither are centrally located plus I hate casinos and they are both attached to it.” 20
- “Noise from Granville Street's nightlife is a major issue at the Samesun, so if you're not part of the party don't expect to sleep through it.” 4
- “Douglas can have some nightclub/casino noise.” 20
- “The ensuite off of the living room had a somewhat small counter space by the sink, but was perfectly fine for an ensuite bathroom.” 17
- “Once again, the bathroom had the short half glass panel that resulted in a very wet bathroom floor with every shower. The bathroom was well lit, which is always appreciated.” 7
- “The en suite bathroom was spacious and wheelchair accessible, with a design that took cues from the United States ADA standards for accessible design.” 5
- “While the bathroom was modern enough and the water flow from the shower head was good, I found the open shower with the short glass wall to be rather impractical. It resulted in water continually splashing and spraying onto the bathroom floor.” 7
- “Bathroom with walk-in shower, no-curtain (always a plus!).” 9
- “The bathroom sink was small, but accessible.” 5
- “In all, I found this bathroom to be very accessible and wished more hotels outside the United States would follow suit!” 5
- “The gesture was appreciated and appropriate but these early missteps had us wondering about the service standards and training of staff.” 7
- “As we pulled up to the entrance, a valet greeted us with an infectious smile, eagerly assisting us with our luggage before whisking away our rental car for valet parking.” 16
- “I got upgraded about 95% of the time I was there. We now stay at the Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver when all four of us travel together. Rooms have two queen beds. They still fit a crib in there. Breakfast and service are just as good as at Bayshore.” 20
- “It's a hotel that oozes casual luxury, the staff are welcoming and helpful, the rooms are spacious and clean.” 19

- “The hotel's commitment to excellence was evident in their impeccable service, from the friendly valet who greeted us with a smile to the attentive staff who took care of our every need.” 16
- “Check-in took only a few minutes, and with key card in hand I set out for my room on the 8th floor.” 5
- “The front desk clerk responded that she would check with her Manager and get back to us. Within 15 minutes there was a knock at the door and a staff member handed my wife her glasses. Miraculously they were in perfect shape, none the worse for wear despite the fall. The staff at the Westin deserve kudos for going above and beyond!” 7
- “As a nice touch, we were offered the choice of two available room assignments in a Panoramic or Lanai suites.” 17
- “Service was spotty at times, ranging from very poor to exceptional. Overall it was average with the notable exception of the over the top service in the retrieval of my wife's glasses.” 7
- “Although it's an older property, it's been well maintained, given it's prime real estate location. We led ourselves into reeception. We had a bit of a wait at check in, even though there were three staff working.” 17
