The Westin Harbour Castle is conveniently located near the Scotiabank Arena, making it ideal for event attendees. Many guests enjoyed the stunning views from their rooms, some of which are recently refurbished with classy decor. The hotel is right on the Harbour, which is great for walking, however, some guests mentioned that getting to other parts of Toronto requires a bit of a walk. There is also a nice rooftop pool with a sun deck and tennis court.

rude staffunavailable ice
the service wasn't great i gotta say. i needed ice, but it wasn't available on several floors near mine. when i called, they were rude and told me to just put my ice bucket outside. i did it, but nobody ever filled it. eventually, i found a cleaner who helped, but i shouldn't have to search for help like that.
