During a business trip, it was a pleasant surprise to be booked into this hotel-apartment. The excess and publicity of lobby has been eliminated, the access is from back alley, parking is underground but capable of accommodating my pickup with canopy, and the staff are pleasant, helpful, patient, accommodating yet unobtrusive. The spacious two-bedroom suite had everything one could expect including a gas or electric fireplace, a spacious area for relaxing and dining in-suite, and a balcony. I did not have time to frequent the room-top patio garden just 2 floors up, but the pictures of it looked lovely.It will be my place of choice if necessary to stay in downtown again...within easy walking distance of parks, shops, galleries and eateries and use of a nearby gym is complementary. I felt safe, comfortable and cared for...

We lived in Vancouver for 16 years and since leaving 14 years ago, we've stayed in many different downtown hotels. This trip (end of January/beginning of February 2012) we decided to try the Times Square and couldn't be happier.

It's quiet. The location is excellent - close to Stanley Park, within a 10 minute walk of any type of food at a wide price range, grocery store and liquor store across the street, bus routes outside your door, roomy suites with well-equipped kitchens. Rooms are clean, linens very nice, it's "all good". Rates are very reasonable.

The location is unbeatable. Only a block away from Stanley Park's Lost Lagoon, this is the perfect location for outdoor enthusiasts who want to combine being right downtown Vancouver with the beauty and tranquility of Stanley Park. You can rent bikes just across the road from the hotel and spend hours biking thru the wonderful trails. The kitchen is fully stocked with real attention to detail. There was nothing lacking, from nice dishes to pots and pans, and all the necessary appliances. The restaurants in the area are fabulous but with a large supermarket opposite, you can easily prepare all your meals in your own suite. Would definitely recommended the Times Square Suites to anyone visiting Vancouver!

Have stayed the second time at Times Square Suites, and although I normally never write reviews, this place deserves it. Very spacious suites, very convenient located to both downtown Vancouver, but also located only 2 blocks from Stanley Park. This park is a 4 x 4 km natural British Columbia rainforest on a peninsula in the middle of urban Vancouver. Excellent for walking, biking, strolling, has even a lake, many hiking paths, a beautiful aquarium, and shoreline walkways all around, with great views of the city`s skyline. After a long day of business meetings the perfect park to catch fresh air and go for a walk.
In the other direction,Times Square is right at the end of a long strip of restaurants of all kinds of international food along Robson Street. There are at least 5 Starbucks-type coffee places. We ate excellent sushi in a restaurant nearby. City tour busses stop just outside, and walking to downtown is 10-15 minutes at most.Several bicycle rentals are in the same block, so you can get even further away, or take a bike tour along the coast.
The rooms are freshly remodelled, beds firm, nice gas fireplaces, flat screen TVs and wireless internet throughout. I stayed in a suite with living room, kitchen. The latter was clean, had sufficient dishware, and all hings you need. Parking garage in the basement is very safe, because the hotels reception desk is located there as well.
Staff is very friendly and helpful. Never had any issues.
Strongly recommend the hotel.
