Cheadle_Chick Posted July 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2023 We are considering staying at the Westin Bayshore and wondering if it's walkable (with 2 younger but highly mobile children) to the Cruise terminal? For those that have stayed here, is it worthwhile? What did you like best? We think the pools might be a big hit with our 2 younger kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Milhouse Posted July 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Yes it is reasonably walkable (if it's not raining). You can take your time. I do the walk a couple of times a week but with my Starbucks, not luggage. I've timed myself: It's just over a 20min walk along the seawall from the far side of the Westin Bayshore and just over a 15 minute walk from the near side/main entrance of the hotel. The seawall path is fairly wide and fairly smooth/nicely paved. Careful to stay on the pedestrian side as the path is split in half with bicycles/wheeled transport. Mixed sunny and shady parts. Safe, nice views. It's fairly level except for two uphill portions: one by the float planes/Jack Poole Plaza and one on the east side of the Convention Centre. I've regularly come across others pulling their luggage walking along this route and NOT looking miserable. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCX22 Posted July 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I had to attend a meeting here and stayed at the property for a few nights. Can't complain about the hotel itself--rooms and service are up to Marriott standards. It's kind of far from the downtown core, but great if you want to walk to Stanley Park. The area is more residential, brimming with high rises. Not too many restaurant options in the immediate area, but West End of Robson street which there are supermarkets and restaurants is a 5-10 minute walk. I don't particularly like the location (too far for me), but if you can get a cheap rate and are only staying for a night, I'd recommend it.
