Good stay at Westin Nova Scotian
Had a great stay, staff were friendly and helpful, our room was clean and comfortable and the pool and hot tub were nice after a long day of shopping and sightseeing. The lobby was cozy and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The only small hiccup was parking. It’s $25/day and on my second night there was no parking at all due to a Christmas party in the ball room. After driving in circles for 30 mins hoping for a spot I decided my only option would be to upgrade to valet parking as they had spaces. Other than the parking we had a great stay and would return next time we’re in the area

Overall a very good stay
Overall my stay was excellent. The room was very comfortable and clean. Didn’t like the way the walk in robe closed behind you and the room went dark. Very annoying. The service overall for the majority of my stay was first class especially from the Concierge Lee and the bell hops. Restaurant service was good too. Pool and spa were excellent. My one complaint was that on my last night there was a party in the room next to me that went until nearly 1:30am. I rang “Express Service” only to be put on hold. I then rang again at 1:15am and the call was answered and the noise stopped. Other than this annoying blemish I had an excellent stay.

The lobby is beautiful. The room was nice but the door to the bathroom was so narrow (picture a closet door) you almost need to turn sideways to go in and out. The breaker blew in the bathroom after using the hotel provided hair dryer for three minutes - nothing else plugged in at the time.
