Sheraton Wall Centre Vancouver Hotel Review

Overall Impression
I have stayed at the Wall Centre Vancouver more than any other hotel in the city. It is not necessarily my favourite, but it just works. The rooms are nice, the service is good, the location is super central, parking is easy, and there always seems to be a good rate. I usually prefer to stay in boutique hotels, but the Wall Centre is just simply good.

My Rating: 4 stars

Value Range: $150-$225 CAD per night

My Recommendation: Recommended

Location
Great location on Burrard and Nelson. Short walk to Yaletown and to the West End/English Bay. Cool restaurants nearby. Wall Centre is almost in the exact middle of downtown Vancouver.

Amenities
Pool and fitness centre are both good.

Service
The service always seems good when I’ve been there.

Elevator Speed
My one pet peeve about this hotel is the elevator. A couple of times an elevator has been out of order which compounds the traffic problem in a tall building like these ones. Expect to wait for the elevator here.

Atmosphere
It is nice and feels like a hotel, but it is comfortable. Fantastic views from most rooms.

Bed Comfort
The bed was great.

Internet
Pet peeve #2 — they charge for internet as do all Starwood hotels. I don’t know why they still do this.

Room Cleanliness
Very clean.

Toiletries
Sheraton toiletries. Nothing special.

Family Friendly
Yes.

Rates
I typically pay about $$160-170CAD when I stay here which is very reasonable all things considered. Factor in parking and internet on top of that.

Other Notes
There are two towers. I prefer the North Tower for some reason. I think it is easier to access the parking garage. The views from the South tower are probably a bit better though. Either way it’s not too bad.

Number of Stays

Frequent Flyer Miles / Hotel Points
Starwood Points, but don’t book on Travelocity etc, if you expect to earn them. Best thing to do is check rates online and then call the hotel to book. They will match online rates, but only by phone. Then you get your points too.
