April 10, 2008, this was the last stay of a college trip and wanted to splurge and relax. Booked because of the reviews read, disappointed because it was much less than i expected. the staff nice, but room small and overlooked the alley and a brick wall. Wish the clerk had told me the doubles overlooked the alley, $300. (includes tax and valet parking, one day) is too much, robes and a flat screen are not enough, nor the offers of a goldfish in a bowl. Will stay at another hotel next time.

The location to most of the downtown touristy spots was great. Easy walk to Pike Place. The hotel was decorated very nicely and the room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom amenities were top notch and the robes were a nice touch. The concierge (not Art) was not helpful when we inquired about local Seattle restaurants and the next day, when he still had not responded to us, he saw us in the lobby and quickly walked the other way to avoid us. The rest of the staff were pleasant and helpful. The goldfish pet for the weekend was fun to have, and we had a goldfish couple.
The hotel did send up a complimentary bottle of chilled champagne our first day which was unexpected and very thoughtful.
Huge drawback was the noise from 4th street. We were on the 10th floor and the sound of the street, especially the buses, was incredible. The windows don't open so it would be smart of them to just invest in some double-paned windows.
Walk just two blocks to McCormicks Bar and Grille (of McCormicks & Schmicks) and they have an amazing happy hour with $1.95 appetizers (after 10 pm). It's and incredible deal for high-end steak house food.

I stayed in a Queen/Queen room with 3 other people. We all agreed that our room looked much nicer, brighter, funkier, warmer online than it did in person. In reality it was dark, and not sure what was going on with the decor- it was very tacky, and not the type of room i felt like hanging out it all day. I felt the bed was comfortable, but my friends felt it was far too soft.

The person at the front desk when we first arrived was not very helpful. She was rather snobby and we felt like we were an inconvenience every time we asked her a question.

On the plus side, the lobby was very nice. The complimentary happy hour every night between 5-6 was also a great bonus. The bellboy and valet were very friendly and quite helpful when we asked for suggestions on where to eat. And overall the hotel was very clean, which is a must for me.

It was an okay stay. But i probably wouldn't stay there again, mostly because the room is not what I expected and though it was decent and clean, I guess it's not what I was looking for.

Another pet friendly hotel. They even have a resident hotel dog. We had a corner room which was large and well appointed. I love the funky chic decor. Comfortable reading chaise and lamp. The windows in our bathroom were huge! The had sliding shutters to block out any viewing! It was Christmas time and they had a beautiful tree in the lobby and gingerbread house made by the staff. It lent itself to the holiday spirit while we enjoyed the complimentary wine and champagne tasting. (Try not to miss it...they even have beer and non-acoholic drinks) I would pick this hotel over Hotel Vintage Park because they do have a small workout room. Some of the equipment didn't work...my only complaint...and nothing to wipe the equipment with either.
