Scene
Cozy and quiet mid-range hotel with spacious suites
The red exterior of the Rosellen Suites has a modest appearance that blends in with the other residential apartments with which it shares a quiet, tree-lined street. Nicely maintained landscaping on the front lawn spruces up the otherwise retro-looking building. The small lobby has colorful artwork and a patterned floral rug that add a little life to the otherwise generic space. A narrow elevator services all four floors. Guests are a mix of tourists and business travelers seeking home-like stays.
