Rosedale On Robson Suite Hotel

A decent hotel, but don't stay here if you need Wi

Place seemed very clean. Staff was flexible and friendly. The price seemed to be a good value for such a large room given how expensive Vancouver is. I paid a fair amount more for a space 1/4th the size in NYC. I liked that they had a pool, jacuzzi, and exercise machines. The views were great and the rooms were very spacious- both a bedroom and living room, so good for families or small groups of friends. Great location- close to sporting arenas and an easy walk to the skytrain stations. Housekeeping was very accommodating. The large suite style rooms work well if you need to spread out for a longer trip or make room for family members. Comfortable and unpretentious.

WiFi? Forget it. Didn't work at all. The friend staying with me was an IT professional who told a staff member part of what the issue was, but the staff member didn't seem to have the technical knowledge to fix it. I just gave up on it after trying many times over several days. Don't come to this hotel if you need WiFi. I was glad they had newspapers to read instead. Cable channels seemed disorganized and lacking in selection- no in-room channel guide provided. No free breakfast either; I was paying a lot for the room and this should have been included. The $60 per night place I stayed the first night I was in town did offer this, and the price for this room was much more spendy. And yes, the place was spendy, but was not modern, upscale or trendy (in the best sense of the word).
