Some of the rooms are in need of an update
The Westin Bayshore is an upscale chain hotel with 511 classically decorated rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows -- many with excellent city or harbor views. There’s a breakfast buffet and a separate seafood restaurant with a patio that offers beautiful views of the harbor. Some of the rooms are older than others, and past guests recommend staying in the newer tower, which has more modern furnishings in rooms. There's a fee for both parking and Wi-Fi. Visitors wanting free Wi-Fi and a more elegant experience, may prefer the Wedgewood Hotel & Spa, which has beautiful rooms and doesn't charge for Wi-Fi.
