Times Square Suites

Just finish my third stay there for three nights. They were very kind to offer a free room upgrade on the third floor, Suite 305. The experience was just as great as before. Room was very clean. They’ve also done some upgrades of there facilities here and there. The staff has been superb during our stay. Free Wi-​fi was super fast. Highly recommended!

Could not have asked for a better place to stay while visiting Vancouver to see womens’ World Cup games at BC Place. So many dining options but also convenient grocery shopping (whole foods & Safeway) to save $$ & get good use out of our kitchen.
Amazing location — nice walk down robson to bc place but even more convenient location as we could walk to stanley park. We also took advantage of the bike rental place downstairs, so that we could bike around Stanley Park as well. once we parked our car on arrival, we did not pull it out of the garage until it was time to leave.
Our hosts were very helpful in making tour arrangements and offering assistance whenever we needed anything (dining recommendations, etc.).
The rooftop patio area was very enjoyable to use… To Chat with friends or just enjoy a cup of coffee early in the morning (before the kids woke up).
We stayed in the corner one bedroom & den corner unit which was perfect for our family of four (2 adults & 2pre-​teen girls).
Would not hesitate in recommending Times Square Suites for anybody visiting this area in vancouver!

Times Square suites
Sweet! This was a nice spacious situation for my parents and I. We need separate rooms b/​c some of us snore and others of us can’t sleep through it.
We stayed in a one bedroom suite and I slept on the pullout sofa. It wasn’t bad as most pullout mattresses are. I slept on it for two nights and it was fine. The front desk did bring me and extra douvet to lay on top and that was great.
The suite was clean and the kitchen was great too. I was impressed they had recycling and a compost bin.
Whole foods is a short walk up the street and a few streets up from that is a lot of shopping and more restaurants.
It was a little confusing when we got there. You have to use a call button to get the front desk to come let you in and the office is an elevator ride down. They parking garage is in the back of the building. They give you a garage fob and a key that accesses the front door, elevator and your room.
They even had composting in the office! I thought that was super cool.
The phone wasn’t making local calls and because my phone didn’t have an international plan on it they front desk let me come down and use theirs. This was super helpful as I had to make many calls to secure our lodging in whistler.
The room even had a washer and dryer in the room which really helped as it was the middle of our trip and we did a full load which helped us get through the rest of the trip.
Free wifi. Paid parking garage with security gate.

I stayed at TSS around mid-​February ’14. From the start the staff were more accommodating than I was expecting. Someone met my wife and I for a very late (or very early) check-​in after our flight was delayed. The little touches were great; the starter box of detergent for the included washer/​dryer, the variety of dishes available and the ability to control the heat for the bedroom and living area separately. We stayed for a week and, while I might have stayed at fancier hotels, I’ve never stayed at one that was so homey. Everything was spotless and tidy. We will definitely be staying again.

The suites are located in the West End, on the end of Robson where it starts to become more residential. This is a great place to stay if you’re traveling with your family or just looking to save a bit of money. With a full kitchen and a Safeway across the street, it’s easy to save a few dollars and prepare meals in the suite.
For the price (~$ 170 per suite per night), this place is reasonably-​priced. The furnishings are on the older side but everything is in good shape — I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the sofa bed was. The washer/​dryer is a really great amenity for the suite.
The rooftop deck is a big bonus — it’s roomy with plenty of seating (loungey and picnic tables) with a covered top in case of rain. There’s also a high quality stainless steel grill.
The location can’t be beat — this place is walking distance to a ton of great restaurants. I was there during a hot spell, and there wasn’t any A/​C which made for warm nights (and the street noise was a bit too loud to keep the windows open).

Clean, good location, nice people, reasonable parking. Traffic in the area is a bit of a pain. Nice to have the 1 bedroom setup and kitchen. Market in next block.

Awesome location, right in the heart of Vancouver (at least for tourists). We were blessed with a rental car, so having quick access to Lion’s Gate, Stanley Park, Granville Island, and tons of restaurants walking-​distance made the Vancouver experience *that* much more convenient. Right below is Starbucks and Whole Foods.
The building is old, but the suites were renovated and are a lot more modern that what you get from your first impression. Our view of the back alley was excellent (kidding), but it helped that it wasn’t loud and we could actually sleep at night. The rooms are extremely spacious. This isn’t Fairmont, but your wallet will be happy and so will your vacation-​stressfree mind.
Parking is in the basement, entrance from an alley in the back of the building. And our suite was cleaned every day. Thanks TSS!

Two nearby restaurant suggestions:
— Kintaro Ramen (RIGHT across the street. This is as good as it gets in Japan)
— Guu w/​Garlic (One block up)
I’m also guessing that since you’re looking at this review, you plan to visit Vancouver and beyond. You’ll notice that there’s an extremely limited number of Canadian Unilocal reviews in general, so make sure you write some!

Great suites and good location. The rooms got a bit hot even with the air conditioner but luckily I was able to pull in a second fan into the bedroom. The place is clean and well kept. Resturants and Safeway is close by so it made this area quite convenient. The only drawback is that I found that they kept making a mistake on the bill but after several tries got it straightened out.

Beautiful suites! Dining rooms, kitchen, den area with extra bed and near everything.
So, I’m a TREAT when traveling. I forget passports at home, leave my car keys in the town car pick up, and am almost guaranteed to drop my phone into water or off some ledge.
So, when I travel, I look for places to rest my head that make up for all the self-​induced stress I relentlessly seem to pour on myself.
My boyfriend and I were sitting in a Starbucks, when we realized that the flight I THOUGHT I’d booked for midnight… was actually a flight leaving at 6am. SO – my guy started looking up hotels for us to spend the night in.
Lo and behold, we saw that the nearest one was located right above us. Times Square Suites was beautifully located, in the midst of a very bustling area. The suite was INCREDIBLY clean and lovely.
They have a GREAT rooftop with a grill that was beautiful. It had a washer/​dryer in it with laundry detergent (that we took advantage of.) Wine glasses, plates, bottle openers… everything you could need… it had it. Lovely balcony. Each room had it’s own wireless key and code… which was so great!
WE had an amazing stay and that bed… was DIVINE.

Copied over from my wife’s Trip Advisor review, since she nailed it:
«What a great deal, excellent location, and a quality apartment. Such a value! The room we had included a den, kitchen with all the amenities/​dishware, a queen bedroom, and bathroom. There is also a pretty roof deck with a grill, table, chairs, and lounge chairs. Great place for a drink before dinner. The hotel is close to everything and very close to Stanley Park which is a plus. Parking was around $ 15/​day, but we had no other option. The area seemed very safe and had a lot going on. People have complained about the noise from the street. It didn’t bother us when we had the window unit on in the bedroom. Small inconvenience for an excellent location in the city! We will be coming back and staying here as soon as we can!»
(Oh come on, I can be lazy every so often!)

just echoing all the other 5 star reviews! this place is AWESOME, esp if you are traveling as a family.
1) location, location, location! right on Robson, but not the crazy part :) shops (local & chain), food (grocery, take out & sit down restaurants), Stanley Park, etc. are right outside your door. this is a GREAT spot, esp for the price
3) customer service was TOPS. all the staff were super friendly & helpful. great tips & suggestions for our stay. they upgraded us to a large 2 bedroom, since there were rooms available.
2) lots of space! well appointed suites. took advantage of all the amenities. washer & dryer was a big plus. loved the fireplace & all the windows– tons of light. all the kitchen basics were covered. no prob w/​the WiFi or cable (man, I could tell you some stories…) only bummers are no pool & the gym is about a 5 minute walk away. but those were so minor, I am reluctant to call them «bummers»
can’t wait to return.

I would definitely stay here when I return to Vancouver. It’s located on Robson Street so that’s very convenient. I like how it’s walking distance from the busy part of Robson Street. It’s in a quieter area of Robson Street, but you still have Safeway across the street and Starbucks located right below the building. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable our one-​bedroom suite was. There is a nice fireplace, full-​size kitchen, big screen HDTV with DVD player, washer/​dryer, heater/​air conditioner, double doors that open to balcony. It was super clean and smelled nice. I could imagine living there as long-​time tenant if I lived in Vancouver. You feel like you’re right at home, and the staff was very friendly. They even put your first initial and last name by the room # at the front entrance so that you feel like you’re really an apartment tenant. I thought that was really cool because it gives it a personal feel! I left very satisfied!

Great location at the corner of Robson and Denman. Super super clean apartment style suites with all I needed. Amazing roof deck with BBQ and views. Neighborhood has everything you could want.
All this plus great customer service at a fabulusly fair rate.

Cannot think of a single thing that TSS could do to make staying w/​them a better experience. I am rarely in Vancouver, but if and when I am in the future, I will certainly stay at TSS. The suite — like a small apt — was light-​filled and good-​sized. When I first entered there was a fan going and nice music playing. Every little thing has been thought of to maximize one’s stay. Info book w/​anything you might need to know during your stay, including how exactly to work the tv remote, watch dvd’s, etc. They supply outstanding coffee from a local supplier, and their toiletries are natural — loved them! Several pairs of earplugs by the bed as an example of the little things they have thought of. Good sized-​kitchen, well-​equipped. Washer dryer in the unit. I love this place. Wish there were a TSS everywhere I travel.

Great spot for those from AWAY that want a kitchen suite not just a hotel room; who would like to wander downtown Vancouver, be near the water and yet feel safe, safe, safe. Fun spot for locals wanting to come in from the ‘burbs for a night! The hotel is wonderfully clean though it has an usual design; like a friendly old apartment building turned condo hotel. It is tucked away at the corner of Denman and Robson and food places abound. A big bright huge Safeway grocery store is just across the lights for anything you need to fill the fridge.
Take your gym stuff/​bathing suit… we didn’t know there was FREE pool access at the Denman Fitness club nearby and that would have been nice to know.
THERE’s a rooftop patio with a BBQ, what fun! Though this is ostensibly for the smokers in a non-​smoking hotel, we were up there both days and the only ones there. The bookshelf at the top of the stairs has ‘take one-​leave one’ magazines and paperback novels; some German, some Russian, most English… interesting. Definately leave your book once you’re done… the little library needs the help! smile
We found the Times Square Suites to be in a great off-​park location at the Stanley Park end of Robson street and would recommend it to those who like to walk downtown Vancouver. The staff really went out of their way to help us with information on vegetarian food places, and other stuff. Clean, cozy and pleasant, quiet inside the building though traffic and street noise of a busy downtown area. Homey and bright but not glamourous. Highly recommended and we hotel/B&B etc alot.
Didn’t try to use wifi so can’t comment… there was just too much outside the front door to get lost on the web…

Although not a washroom-​friendly in my books, it’s a terrific, full-​suite with kitchen, living room, great for families since there’s a safeway right there to buy yr produce and meat ;) Definitely feels homey, thus the décor, even the wooden kitchen tables, gives that home feel.
The lobby is actually underground, either thru the back alley — gasp — or the Robson elevator entrance going down. Good protection fr the rain.
No public washrooms ;(
Did stay awhile ago, about $ 150-ish…and the pricing is well worth the area, near Stanley Park, Robson, English Bay…
globe and mail complimentary.

I stayed here in early May on a vacation trip and loved it. The Safeway is across the street, and with a full kitchen it made everything so much easier! Walking distance to everything in Vancouver, and only 2 blocks to Stanley Park! The staff went out of there way to help me with anything I needed, even made reservations for me and recommended places to eat. Fantastic trip, wonderful hotel!

No need to stay anywhere else on your visit to Vancouver. The staff are wonderful. The location is wonderful. It’s clean, safe and best of all — won’t empty your bank account. I LOVE this place and will stay again on my next visit. Thanks for having me!

Awesome location. Very clean, very comfortable (the comforters are amazing, fluffy and crisp). Our whole family liked it – the tv had a dvd player, so the kids were able to watch a movie. There was a fireplace, which, as you know, is super attractive to teens. The staff was helpful — lots of recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Although we had to pay for parking in their garage, it was a good call since the parking in the neighborhood is tight and apparently they ticket a lot if you don’t have proper city-​distributed parking passes. I especially liked how clean the place was. We had a fully stocked kitchen and I felt very comfortable using the dishes and pots and pans, etc. Oh, and a really cool feature — a washer and dryer in the suite. Very handy because it rained all day and we went on a bike ride for about 4 hours and were soaked. Oh, and did I mention that the hotel is over a Starbucks (the coffee in the hotel is so so) and catty corner from a Safeway?
We will stay here again the next time we come to Vancouver — absolutely.

Could not be more pleased.
Lovely staff, beautiful apt. style hotel, great location. It feels like you’re staying at a friends’ place without the uncomfortable staring and awkward bathroom situation.
