Never in my life have I had a worse experience at a hotel. The staff violated our privacy in a most disrespectful way while we were in our room. To add insult to injury the Night Manager David, spends the rest of the evening gaslighting us on what happened. Zero accountability or awareness of respecting their patrons.

After almost year of no travel due to the pandemic, we decided to have a Valentines staycation at the Wedgewood. Best decision! Immediately at arrival we were warmly greeted by staff. The room was very nice and… spacious with a king bed, wet bar and sitting area. The hotel was super quiet and the bed was very comfortable. A great night’s sleep and a morning lounging in leisure before breakfast in the hotel lounge. Then off to the spa for a very good couples massage with Stephanie and Erin (?) They have heated massage tables which was wonderful on a cold snowy day. We’ll definitely

My husband and I spent this past weekend at the hotel. The staff was courteous however the hotel double charged our credit card and we had to email the hotel to get our reimbursement. We also were charged a $17 parking tax on top of gst for valet parking with zero disclosure about it. When we complained to the manager he didn’t seem to care. We… spent about $1000 at the hotel from Friday night to Sunday morning and felt the hotel should have reversed the $17 especially after the hassle we dealt with when the hotel messed up. Not impressed and I do not recommend them.

This review is for front of house staff. Was in an emergency trying to get a cab across town with no luck. Irish fellow who was the doorman went out of the way to help me, with a sense of urgency that was appreciated. He was able to get a cab for me even though it turned out to be a cruise ship rush. He explained the situation and gave me some context, which was super helpful. Made my day better, and I made the meeting just in time. Please give him a customer service medal.
