I loved the free parking so close to the building. The room was very nice and quiet, which I appreciated. It is also just a short walk from little shops, restaurants, and the lake, which is great.

Fabulous stay at the Westbourne. Friendly greeting from Sue and check in was quick. Room was excellent and had everything we needed. Location is perfect as you are no more than a 10 minute walk to the lake, restaurants, bars, and shopping, but hotel is on a quiet street in a good location. Breakfast in the morning was served by Andre and was really good. Would absolutely stay here again and would definitely recommend.
