There was a delay in the room availability beyond check in time. Then, when we received a room and keycard, we discovered when we tried to use the key that another guest was in the room! This was very embarrassing and it took 30 more minutes waiting downstairs before it was straightened out - and I jumped the long line or it would have taken longer. The manager was very apologetic and gave us a generous credit to use for food at the hotel but it was one the the worst experiences that I have had at a hotel and I travel a lot. The room - when we got to it- was nice.

5 star property in convenient area of Seattle.Gorgeous historic hotel re-imagined with a luxurious, modern, deco flair. Stylish, intimate lobby bar serving upscale cocktails. Spacious, modern bedrooms and bathroom. Breakfast in The George was outstanding. Attention to the details from cocktails to bath products, to service was amazing.

Truly one of the most quiet rooms I have ever stayed in. Did not hear neighboring doors or noise from other rooms loved the breakfast cafe downstairs and the bar. They seemed short staffed in all service areas - especially the bar and breakfast cafe, however, the staff running wild trying to keep up where were pleasant and helpful at all times. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.
