I was really pleased with my last stay at the Westin. I got a good rate, but I wouldn't call it phenomenal like some other reviewers which makes me think I can do better next time! The $38 valet parking seems a bit outrageous too, but after the drive from Edmonton my better judgement was gone and I just paid it. I chose this hotel because it's right downtown and only 2 blocks from the University of Alberta Calgary Centre, where I had a work event. The great thing about this place is it's part of the Starwood hotel group, so my gold membership got me some extra perks, including an express check-in/check-out line, free wifi, and a room of the Starwood Preferred Guest floor (floor 15). As a high-end hotel, the service was as perfect as expected. Staff is exceptional and really looks after the tiniest details of your stay. LOVELY. I had an awesome king bed in my room with a great view (unfortunately, it was blizzarding the week I was in Calgary this time!). I'm especially a fan of the complimentary Starbucks coffee in room, since the Starbucks in the lobby charges $1-$2 more than any other. My room didn't have a tub, which isn't essential but caught me off-guard so when I mentioned it to the concierge at check-out, they made a note on my file to always get a full-tub bathroom. I know it's random, but maybe you're like me and like to soak after a long workday so I don't think I'm totally out there! Four stars this time, but five next if I can get one of these stellar rates, cheaper parking and a full tub ;)
