$17.50 for a Guinness after recommended tip and tax? What am I sitting around a pool in Vegas? To be fair it was good, but thats the most expensive beer I have ever had in the country!

$79 for a 14 ounce sirloin of average quality! And NO SAUCE... The flatbread was also nothing special. Beef stroganoff was better but still not what I would call fine dining. I was excited that we were on the roof but the heating and poor air quality was a distraction the whole night. The overhead heater was so hot we were almost medium rare. Then there was the proliferation of propane heaters and natural gas fires. Not sure if that was the cause of the poor air quality and chemical smell or it was something from the kitchen. Overall, not a great experience at all, not recommended and would not go back. I've had better food at half the price.

2nd time visiting here and had to leave a review, on both visits wait staff was very professional and attentive to our table, frequently checking in on us and ensuring our needs were met. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food.

500 per night for a city view. Our room had carpet lifting and water stains on the roof. Building is starting to show its age and needs renovations. Prices in the Arc restaurant are out of line for the quality. $70.00 for a 10 oz steak that was flavorful but definitely not over the top. There are some excellent choices nearby with similar price point . We have enjoyed staying on the property over the years but this may be our last time based on where things are headed with the property. They are riding on past performance, not on creating future experiences.

1. we enjoyed the beautiful room with newly furnished design. Very luxury details in the room. 2. caring room and cleaning service and good gym and pool possibility 3. Good location and close to bus stops, Vancouver Art Gallery and Vancouver City center 4. Noise from cafe outside (room 718). Noise from people talking outside as the room door is not sealed correctly. 5. The hotel does not offer any breakfast buffet and the breakfast at the restaurant is expensive.

This is the singular most disappointing place I have ever stayed by choice. The property is very worn out. It is dirty. Service: outside of the bellman, service is indifferent, distant and uninterested. The room was very dated. Clean is a subjective word. Will you get sick? No. Did you feel good about walking barefoot, No. Outstanding service can elevate a poor facility. That is not the case here. Food: We were there during the slow part of the slow season. I was hoping to at least have a decent meal. That didn’t happen. I was trying to find a reasonable comparison from previous travel. The buffet food on the last day of a Carnival Cruise is light years better. You will enjoy the food more at a Golden Coral. Pricing: This is more than The Wynn, Bellagio, The Ritz at Occonee etc. The pricing structure with add ons make the folks in Las Vegas look like rookies. Everything has several resort taxes. The historic preservation fund fee is laughable. The property is so run down it brings a tear to your eye. Bottom line, don’t waste your money. A staycation downtown at home with a meal at a nice restaurant would have been more memorable and considerably less money.

Another outstanding stay at the Wedgewood.The service was superlative, starting at check-in with David A. Martin the doorman and Dicken the manager were awesome, too. Our anniversary room was upgraded to a full suite, which was greatly appreciated. Everything in the room was perfect. We stay here when in Vancouver for the value, and the friendliness of the staff from top-to-bottom. The atmosphere in the bar and restaurant was very romantic, with a live pianist. This was our second stay, with many more to come. Our favorite hotel in North America!
