ISO - Reviews of Rosellen Suites At Stanley Park

[PSUJeepGirl]

I tried searching this forum for the property but I didn't come across any results.  Has anyone stayed here (or in the area) post cruise?

Thanks for any tips and recommendations!

Maybe you'll get lucky here with a personal report or two, but Tripadvisor will be a better bet (more users as more general); and Expedia reviews can only be done after a confirmed stay so they're about as trustworthy a baseline as it gets.

 

As a local I can say that I'd have zero hesitation recommending the location for a short stay - one of the quietest parts of downtown, very convenient for the park and English Bay, a short and cheap cab ride to the pier with bags although about as far as it gets for foot travel at over 1.5miles. Plenty restos on Denman St within a few minutes walk.

 

Honestly the only real inconvenience has more impact on residents, very little on tourists - have to drive through some of the worst traffic downtown to get anywhere else, no SkyTrain station, so if your job is not within walking distance it's a less convenient neighbourhood than the other end of the core!

For you though, if you had no interest in wandering Stanley Park and the Seawall but would want to visit say Chinatown, Mount Pleasant, anywhere outside the core then book a different hotel further east - but if you want to do a mixed bag of things, every hotel in the core ends up fairly comparable as you can't be right next to all of the popular spots (Granville Island, Gastown, Chinatown, Stanley Park tend to be the places most folks think are the 'Must Sees').

 

But given the tiny distances involved, and how we have conveniently placed the pier and most hotels within the same part of town as most of the big tourist attractions - even walking all the way from your hotel to Chinatown would be quicker than coming in on SkyTrain from any airport hotel!
