I really like the room they gave me. They gave me a two bedroom suite on the 7th floor. The room is spacious and well laid out. The desk is medium size and is great for laying out ur computer, bag and other items to work on. The bedside lamps have power outlets so you can leave ur extension Cord... More

The hotel provides excellent value for money. The suite was clean, well furnished and spacey and fitted out with a kitchen, including cutlery, plates and microwave to heat up prepared meals, that can be bought from the lobby in the hotel. The hotel is located near Lake Union with many upmarket restaurants along the lake front. Check-in is from 16:00... More

I have yet to come across a hotel with no bell man service! Yes you read that right! No bell man. Their explanation? That they are not a full service hotel. Really? Maybe they should put such pertinent points up on their website since all other Residence Inn properties we stayed at had a bell man or two...full service or... More

We have enjoyed our stays at Residence Inn's and this was no exception. The staff were efficient and accomodating for our family and two dogs. The room was the biggest we've stayed in yet and like the others very clean and provided a good nights rest. The view of the river front was beautiful and we really enjoyed the openness... More

Well, altho it was conveniently located to UoW for my kids sports tournament... everything else about this place is a rip-off! $25 p/day for parking PLUS a $5.50 p/day "parking TAX"?!? Yes, you read that right...$35.50 per day for parking. wow. So naturally, the room rate was inflated as well, $170 p/night. Staff was a bit rude, there no fans/ventillation... More

Dear Valued Guest, I am very sorry to hear that we did not exceed your expectations for your stay with us. Although there is not much I can do about Seattle’s parking taxes, I would welcome your feedback and details on the service issues you encountered. I would love the opportunity to correct those areas for our guests, and perhaps... More

Only a few hours in town, just coming in off a cruise and flying out early morning hours to return home. The hotel was great with the 2 bed/2 bath option. Shared the hotel room with another couple. Plenty of room, very spacious! We had two balconies, which the view of the water was gorgeous, especially with all of the... More

I had to spend a week here due to an apartment flood. It's nice, the employees are friendly and really seem to really care about the place. I did cook one night, but our room's kitchen had pots that wobbled on the 2-burner (and the unit's burners were too close to each other to use more than one pot at... More

We spent five nights here and the staff were very nice, and the room/suite spacious although unlike some "suites" the living room contained a chaise and not a sofa/fold out bed. The location is not especially convenient as one has to take a street car/trolley from Westlake to get there and in one of the bizarre phenomena of Seattle the... More
