“Never again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2011

OK, it is affordable but the rooms are cramped and uncomfortable, I was put in a room with two twin beds rather than the queen-sized that I ordered. Not a good thing to do to a 6'2" man. The girl at the desk had trouble answering the most basic of questions about the area and for some odd reason the overnight clerk saw fit to leave the front door open all night. Not a smart thing to do in Seattle in late September. I can't tink of one reason why I'd stay here again.

Room Tip: Book elsewhere.

“bad experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 14, 2011

My husband and I stayed at this hotel from 16th July to 18th July. We selected this hotel purely for the excellent location and for the cost. But frankly we were in for a shock when we arrived at the hotel directly after disembarking from a cruise. There was only one person at the front desk and he bluntly told us that check-in was only after 3pm. Since it was a long wait (we reached the hotel at 11am) we requested that we be allowed to leave our luggage. Luckily he agreed., So we left and returned only later in the evening. There was only one lift and that was so ancient just like everythinhg at the hotel. The room was smelling awful and looked very dull and unwelcoming. There was free wifi only in the lobby. The bathroom was only just adequate as the toilet seat was wobbly and almost broken. There was no kettle or microwave anywhere in the hotel. We just managed to survive for two nights only because it was conveniently located to the Pyke Marketplace ,space needle and the sea front. Luckily there were good restaurants and Starbucks close by . I will think twice before staying again at this hotel

“Basic & affordable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2011

Very basic hotel and good rate compared to most of the hotels in the area. Stayed here for 3 nights. Excellent staff that was very friendly and helpful. Very central to everything in downtown Seattle. Could definitely use a revamp (lobby, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc). Nonetheless I'd stay here again because the price was very affordable.

“Not bad place, given the price!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2011

We stayed for one night, before a cruise to Alaska leaving from Seattle. We had previously stayed at the Warwick, and this hotel did not have near the same comfort level, but was still very comfortable and within walking distance of Pikes Placed market and other downtown attractions. We will definitely stay again!
