Found the Mayflower Park Hotel on tripadvisor of course. Love the traditional decor and the location is great...Macy's is across the street and Nordstrom's is a block away. Not only was the room comfortable (if available request a corner room...a little more spacious and nice city views). And, a wonderful surprise is the hotel bar, Oliver's. Happy hour every day at 4:30 with great martini's & food and interesting locals to chat with while people-watching out of the corner windows behind the bar. Great restaurants, Pike's Market and Seattle Art Museum are walking distance. If you don't want to walk in the rain, this is a hub for all the major transportation available. Definitely a nice small hotel with good service at a reasonable price.

When visiting Seattle, I prefer to stay here, not only the location, but the friendly staff and well appointed rooms brings me back. As a previous guest, they tried to give us an upgrade, but could not after all, and although the rooms are cozy, they are very nice and comfortable. We were not disappointed. Olivers is a great lounge, spent a cold windy afternoon there playing cards, has a very friendly atmosphere, as well as a great corner location. Will be back again next winter.

We recently stayed at the Mayflower for five days. It is wonderfully situated for somebody coming from the airport. The Sound Transit comes extremely close to their front door. It could hardly get any easier and efficient. The doorman are not only courteous but informative and friendly. The lobby is beautiful without being pretentious. We were aware that their rooms might be considered small so we requested the mini suite. The mini suite is economically priced and is very comfortable. It not only had a comfortable sized bathroom but also a separate vanity and wet bar area, a decent sized closet, a desk area, a comfortable sized living area with a nice sized television and a seperate bedroom with pocket doors. The bathroom is stocked with permanent full sized toiletries. The bed was wonderful to sleep in-not too hard and not too soft. There is also another television in the bedroom as well. At check in we were provided a coupon to their restaurant- use it! Our view of the city was wonderful!

This was our first time at the Mayflower and we will be making it a midwinter break tradition from now on. From the $5.00 parking special, to the 5% rate special, and a new guest, room upgrade, it just kept getting better. The location is terrific for sightseeing and shopping. We didn't need a car in spite of the rainy weather. The front desk accommodated us for both early check in and late check out. Our room service was good and very prompt. Overall the service was excellent. This small quiet gem is not to be missed.
