I've never stayed at a Westin before this, so I was excited.
I pre-booked a separate airport shuttle that has this place on its dropoff route. Check-in was easy, room was very nice indeed, and the bed is freaking awesome! Could do with a tad less starch on the sheets but otherwise, they have got this "Heavenly" bed thing down pat. The Heavenly bath robe is also awesome. I just wish they left two in our room instead of one, especially after requesting two.
The "partial view" was nothing to look at, just a construction site and a bit of the lake, but most construction site. Other gripes include: crappy soap and no body wash - hey it is the freaking Westin; no hd tv; ABSURD prices for internet access, which should be included for the room rate, and is included at every other hotel I ever stayed in; shuttle service to Eaton Centre only runs twice a day, ugh; location is nearly the middle of nowhere but that's not exactly their fault, just a pain in the ass sometimes unless you drive.
Tip: the closest public transit is the Queen's Quay trolley stop just across the street on Bay - take the stairs down. You can take this west and connect to other trolleys along Spadina, or take it north to connect to Union Station if you don't want to walk (I wouldn't blame you).
