Request accommodation on the south side and upper floors.
Star Service "This is a convention beehive if there ever was one.
Its harborside location creates a question mark for tourists, as it is on the wrong side of the Gardiner Expressway, though close to the ferries." Full review
Gayot "A large hotel, The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto has 977 rooms in a 38-storey tower rising above Lake Ontario."
Zagat "A waterfront location, large conference centre with ample meeting space and an upscale Italian restaurant offering 360-degree views from its 38th-floor perch are among this business hotel’s assets."
Lonely Planet "If this were a hamburger, it'd be with 'the works' – restaurants, shops, gym, conference centre, pool, disabled-access suites etc." Full review
