My two friends and I spent a couple of days in Seattle before heading to Canada. I found the Crowne Plaza through Trip Advisor, and it had many great reviews. I must say I was very pleased with this hotel. We arrived early, so our room wasn't ready. We checked our luggage and the lady at the front desk gave us a map with some restaurant options. The location of the hotel was great! We were only a few blocks away from Pike Place Market. Definitely within walking distance. We never had to call a cab or Uber. You can easily walk anywhere from this location. The hotel itself was very nice. We were on the 31st floor, so we have great views of the city. We were able to see the Space Needle from the room. We were in a suite which was a little small, but we made it work. Being on suite level definitely had its perks. We enjoyed a wonderful, hot buffet breakfast, a happy hour that provided complimentary appetizers (fried shrimp, calamari, falafels, fruit/veggies, etc). We also received complimentary bottled waters and turn down service. The hotel also had a decent happy hour everyday. This is a great hotel that wasn't super expensive. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Seattle. The only reason I gave them a 4 star rating and not a 5 is because there was an error on the bill when checking out. My friends and I had split the bill, but I ended up having the full charge on my card. Other than that little misstep, the Crowne Plaza is a great hotel!
