Besides the TSs, which Westins have Kitchens, similar to a TS?

In my limited knowledge:

Westin Whistler
Westin Verasa Napa


I am trying to compare and calculate hotel versus TS, in an almost apple to apple comparison.

More for "fun" analysis, but I will come up with actual costs, so other people can just compare and see.

Thanks.

Westin Whistler and other hotels have very limited kitchens...much more so than the studios or small 1-bed of the timeshares. I consider them to be a completely separate category (inferior) when considering "kitchens".

I have stayed at the Westin Whistler , and they do have a not bad kitchen. That is burners, and stuff. Not just a microwave.

So I can almost consider it a full kitchen for our purposes.

This is a 1 BR connected to the "studio" or regular room.

The penthouse? or the one that has the bedroom on the 2nd level has a smaller "kitchen" than the 1BR. Though it is a nicer room and has a better view.

Not all units at Westin Napa Verasa have kitchens/kitchenettes - the studios do not. The SP rate given is for a studio.
The rack rate for a studio is ~$440, I recall the current SP for a studio is 16K per nite.
I would not pay $440 per night to stay there. I do use SPs to stay there (about 2x per year).

the premium villas with kitchen/kitchenettes are much more in both $/nite and SP/nite (if available) and their costs are variable based on time of year (occupancy).
