This makes for a stress-free arrival experience compared with some other downtown hotels where the hotel&#8217;s main entrance is right on the busy street.<\/p>\n<p>At the Westin, you arrive and park, a valet unloads your luggage and takes it to the lobby, then they park your car for you.<\/p>\n<p>Valet parking is $30\/night, with no option for self-parking unless you want to choose another parking option not affiliated with the hotel. This might seem expensive; however, it&#8217;s a decent value for the downtown Montreal area. The Embassy Suites next door, for example, had self-park only for $40\/night.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;0&#8243; images=&#8221;209295,209297,209299&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Westin<\/strong> has a warm, inviting lobby featuring several check-in desks, a valet station, a concierge desk, and escalators going up to the Mezzanine where the conference rooms are located.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;0&#8243; images=&#8221;209301,209303,209305,171656,171646,171644,171642,171640&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>As a Titanium Elite Bonvoy member, I was hoping for a suite upgrade for this stay. I had confirmed a premium room upgrade several days beforehand by emailing the hotel. It was pretty good since these rooms offer a separate bedroom and living area with a pull-out sofa.<\/p>\n<p>However, not quite satisfied yet, I began an online chat with the hotel on the Marriott app the morning of check-in. Suite&#8217;s availability is hard to judge since they don&#8217;t allow any booking via their website; the hotel needs to be contacted directly for this. After a bit of suite-talking, I got another confirmed upgrade to a vast executive suite, which provides a whopping 135 square meters of space, including a large hospitality area.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I was happy to accept this offer. I could not be sure what the exact cash price would be to rent the room since they aren&#8217;t listed, but judging by the costs of hospitality suites at nearby hotels, I would put it at a minimum of $700+tax per night.<\/p>\n<p>At the check-in desk, our twice-upgraded suite was confirmed. In addition to our keys, we were also given vouchers for free tapas and wine at the bar, put on the list for complimentary breakfast for the whole family, and awarded bonus Bonvoy points as a welcome amenity. With that, we headed towards the elevators and the hotel&#8217;s upper levels.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;209307&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;209309&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The Executive Suite&#8221; el_id=&#8221;the_executive_suite&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Upon reaching the 21st floor of the Westin, we headed down the hallway to room 2114\/2116.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;209257&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;209259&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Once you enter the executive suite, the first room is a foyer which includes a chair, a wall mirror and a full closet for coats and shoes.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;209261&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Turning to the right, this is followed by a living room with an L-shaped couch, coffee table, work desk and chair, coffee station, dresser drawers with a mini-fridge and a big-screen TV.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;209263&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;209687&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>The bedroom consisted of a very comfortable king-sized Westin Heavenly bed.

It has a nice heated pool with a lounging area, a jacuzzi, a dry sauna, and even a cold plunge pool. A lifeguard is on duty and provides towels to all the guests. They also have life jackets\/kicking boards\/pool noodles that kids can use, which is a nice touch.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;0&#8243; images=&#8221;209333,209337,209335,209339&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>But the best part of the pool has to be its glass bottom.

The gym also featured a scale, water dispenser, and fresh towels for guests.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;0&#8243; images=&#8221;209345,209343,209347&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>The services available at the hotel right now are limited. Like the rest of the post-pandemic world, the hotel grapples with staffing issues. There is currently no room service, daily housekeeping, or valets available to assist with luggage to your room, and they have limited staff in the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>That isn&#8217;t a significant issue, though, as you can call down to the restaurant and pick up your food. The housekeepers are happy to replenish your room supplies on demand. There are plenty of valet carts to help with luggage, and we never had to wait long for restaurant service.<\/p>\n<p>I expect in the future the service level will increase back to pre-pandemic levels. Having said all this, every staff member we dealt with was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. So we didn&#8217;t actually feel like we were missing out on anything. The room&#8217;s manager on duty during our arrival even inspected our room before we went up to it to ensure that everything was in order.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Hotel Fact Sheet&#8221; el_id=&#8221;hotel_fact_sheet&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 94.1815%; height: 193px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 96px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 49px; width: 23.0769%;\"><strong>Parking<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 49px; width: 23.0769%;\">Valet 40&nbsp;$\/day<\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 49px; width: 28.6902%;\"><strong>Breakfast included<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 49px; width: 32.4324%;\">No (included for Platinum Elite members and above)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\"><strong>Pool<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\">Yes (inside and heated)<\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 28.6902%;\"><strong>Rooms with balconies<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 32.4324%;\">No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\"><strong>Spa<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\">Yes<\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 28.6902%;\"><strong>Rooms with kitchens<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 32.4324%;\">No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\"><strong>Gym<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\">Yes<\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 28.6902%;\"><strong>USB plugs in room<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 32.4324%;\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\"><strong>Restaurant<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\">Yes<\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 28.6902%;\"><strong>Smart TV<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 32.4324%;\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\"><strong>Accepts animals<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\">Yes (no additional cost)<\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 28.6902%;\"><strong>Shower\/bath in room<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 32.4324%;\">Depends on room type<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\"><strong>Executive lounge<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 23.0769%;\">No<\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 28.6902%;\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px; width: 32.4324%;\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Conclusion&#8221; el_id=&#8221;conclusion&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Overall this would be a great hotel whether your stay is for business or leisure.
