My family visits Vancouver somewhat frequently. We usually stay in a one-bedroom suite near Robson Street. This time, however, I wanted to check out a different hotel to see what’s available. I chose the Sheraton Wall Centre for its convenient location and Trip Advisor ratings.
I was traveling with my Mom and my toddler, Owen. We got a room with two double beds, and I shared a bed with Owen. Since Owen goes to sleep early and wakes up early, we spend a lot of time in the room. Here’s what we liked and didn’t like about the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre Hotel:
Pros of the Sheraton Wall Centre:
- The location is fabulous! It is just a few blocks from Robson Street, which has lots of shops and restaurants.
- The elevators are super fast! Probably the fastest elevators we’ve ever experienced in Vancouver.
- The staff is friendly and helpful.
- There is a Starbucks on-site.
- There are blackout curtains, which is essential when traveling with a toddler.
- The room was very spacious.
- Free wi-fi in the room was a lifesaver.
- The room felt very clean.
- The bed linens have two weights of blankets, so it’s easy to get comfortable.
- Our room was right next to the elevator, but we couldn’t hear anything.
- The gift shop had diaper cream, which saved us a trip to the drugstore!
- The hotel restaurant had boosters and high chairs.
- The hot tub was a nice touch for relaxation.
- The club lounge provided a great place to unwind.
- The hotel has a pet policy that allows furry friends, making it pet friendly.
- The common areas were well-maintained and inviting.
Cons of the Sheraton Wall Centre:
- The walls are really thin. We could hear an extensive/explosive argument from the family next to us, showers running upstairs, and guests shouting in the hallway.
- The parking garage is tricky to find at first.
- I was surprised by the limited toiletry items (no shower cap, q-tips, etc.)
- The bathroom door has a large glass cutout, so it lights up the room when someone turns on the light at night.
- Not all the power outlets seemed to work.
- We couldn’t seem to get standard TV channels. I’m unsure if my toddler hit something on the remote, but it kept saying it was unavailable.
- The pool was hidden away and didn’t seem super child-friendly.
- There were dirty dishes outside of our room for a full 24 hours, left by the cleaning staff.
- The hotel restaurant offers a children’s menu but doesn’t have kid-friendly/non-breakable glasses or cups with straws.
- When we checked out, the only elevator down to the parking garage was broken. We were able to get all our luggage down to the 3rd-floor parking garage, but then we had to walk up three floors inside the parking garage to get out to the street. At seven months pregnant and pushing a toddler in a stroller, this was not a good way to end our visit here.
- The check out times were a bit early, but they were accommodating when we requested a later check out time at 12 00 pm.
Overall, the Sheraton Vancoucer Wall Centre was a beautiful hotel, and I’m glad we checked it out. I’m not sure it’s the best pick for traveling with a toddler, but it’s probably an excellent option for business travelers or couples. The location is fantastic, and the staff members are extraordinary!
