Vancouver to Calgary

I am planning a trip from Vancouver to Calgary. Flying into YVR on May16th
and departing YYC on May24th. I need help planning an itinerary, and I am not sure how much time to allocate along the way. I am Hilton Diamond and Starwood Gold and have a ton of points in each program, and would prefer using these properties when possible.

Here is what I have come up with so far.

May 16th: Fly into YVR, rent car and drive to Victoria. Overnight at Westin Bear Mountain. My concern is that Westin is away from downtown, and I am wondering if 1 night is enough here? Want to see downtown, Butchart Gardens etc,

May 17th and 18th: Vancouver, either Westin Bayshore or Hilton Burnaby. Do we need two nights in Vancouver? Want to see downtown area, Capilano Bridge, Grouse Mountain

May 19th and May 20th Whistler, Hilton Whistler again wondering if 2 nights here is too much or better spent somewhere else.

May21st Kamloops? as overnight stop, or drive straight to Banff?

May 22 and May 23 Jasper, Lake Louise , Banff. Was considering staying 2 nights at Fairmont Lake Louise or splitting it 1 night Jasper 1 night Lake Louise.

May 24th Drive to Calgary, fly home.
