Congratulations on your win and thank you for sharing it with the board... a new hotel for our lists too! :)

Looks like a good deal for this property.

Have a great stay.

Recently returned from our trip to Calgary. I had successfully obtained three rooms for Sept 3rd and 10th at $60 (US) per night. When checking in, I present my Starwood Preferred Gold Card. For the evening of Sept 3rd, the Westin upgraded us to the "club" floor. Rooms were very clean, comfortable, and spacious. On our return on Sept 10th, Westin upgraded all our rooms to "mini-suites"....very large rooms with sitting areas. Westin has all amenities...ironing boards, hair dryers, etc. Our friends were absolutely stunned at the rate we got. Staff and hotel were excellent. Highly recommend to all. Happy biddding!

That's a good deal for the Westin. It is definitely one of the better hotels here in Calgary, although arguably the best hotel out of the major hotel companies is actually the Sheraton Eau Claire.

The Westin was in the process of upgrading all the rooms with the new Heavenly Beds and other refurbs. I'm pretty sure that this process is now finished, but for future guests it might be worth checking at check-in that your room is refurbed with the beds.

Glad you had a good stay!
