State-of-the-Art Gym

The workout facilities at the Westgate Hotel were simply amazing! From state-of-the-art equipment to an inspiring atmosphere, I could easily keep up with my fitness routine during my stay. There's even a crossfit area and a spin class section that adds variety to your workout. Truly impressed!

Really good Dining Experience

One of the highlights of my stay was the dining experience at Westgate's restaurant. The atmosphere was wonderful and the food was simply delectable. I also enjoyed high tea, which was filled with good treats! The memories of those meals will keep me coming back.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The staff was outstanding and went above and beyond, but the rooms were dated and noisy despite the fantastic suite we were eventually moved to. The location, while convenient, had some safety concerns due to homeless congregations nearby. There are also extra fees that caught me off guard, which affected the value for money.
