“Great Conference Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

During our conference I was very pleased to find Revolution Tea offered with the coffee service. As a tea drinker I often bring my own tea due to the lack of tea offerings. Thank You. Also the service staff providing our meals during the conference were very helpful with my questions and were able to get me desserts from the kitchen that were not sitting in the decorative raspberry sauce that was served as I am severly allergic to raspberries. This accomidation by them was much appreciated! And the concierge and bell staff were very helpful during my stay, and were able to answer questions about food options nearby.

“Red Lion Hotel - 5th Ave Seattle”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

This was the fourth year staying at this hotel. I was impressed from the moment I approached the building. There were numerous changes to the decor. The meeting rooms were bright as were the bathrooms. I guessed there was a change in management. The staff were very attentive without being prompted. I was very comfortable during my stay. The hotel is located close to many points of interest and just a few blocks from the lite rail. I have spent over $40 on shuttles and taxis coming from SeaTac Airport in the past. The lite rail is less than $5 for round trip. Great place to experience Downtown Seattle. Great job Red Lion Hotel!

Room Tip: There are rooms with great views the higher the floor.

“Great decor, huge bath towels!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

This hotel is convenient to the light rail from the airport, Pikes Place, the Convention Center, shopping, etc. It's also walking distance (20 minutes) from the Washington State Ferry. The decor looks fresh and is relaxing/inviting. The front desk staff was very attentive and friendly. The beds were very comfortable; even though they were a little soft for my liking, I slept well. Had a problem with my bathroom fan, but it was taken care of immediately.

“"Soaking in Seattle"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

This is a great hotel that is located in the central area of downtown Seattle. The staff are superb, helpful and very polite. The room I had was very spacous and clean and the bed was to die for. Would I stay here again if I were coming back to Seattle, no doubt I would.

Located beneath the hotel is the Elephant & Castle pub, the food here is very good, wholesome and filling, the bar staff helpful, polite and very friendly, a great place to go. A tip about coming to Seattle, pack an umbrella in your bag.

Room Tip: The overall impression I got from the hotel is that no matter which room you got the quality would b...

“Hotel stay at Red Lion Hotel on Fifth Avenue”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

At first I had some reservations because I had called the hotel the day before to confirm, and for some reason I was not able to get anyone to pick up the phone. The second time I tried calling, finally someone at the front desk picked up. They have no shuttle from the airport. There is the Light Link Rail from SEA-TAC Airport to Westlake (the last stop on the line), which takes about a good 25-30 minutes. Westlake stop is about 2 to 3 short blocks from the hotel. Once I checked in and settled in, the hotel is clean and the bed is comfortable. I have a nice east view of downtown Seattle. There are not a lot of places to eat around here late (after 10 p.m.) other than the Elephant and Castle downstairs (and that's pricey); there is this pizza place that delivers late 'til 3 a.m. (also pricey). The Public Market is not very far from here, though. Capitol Hill is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Staff is accommodating. I have not really seen or conversed with any of the staff so I can't really say they are friendly or not... but I'm sure they are friendly. If you plan to rent a car and park here, it's an additional $32 per night charge.

Room Tip: Fitness room on the 4th Floor
