Essentially what you’re paying for is the downstairs lobby, which is was renovated beautifully. The rooms are outdated and lacking in amenities for what they charge a night. Our water was also completely shut off with no warning to us in the morning. No shower, sink or toilet, but luckily we had plans to be somewhere else that day. Just not the experience we were expecting and hoping for, so it will not be somewhere we return to for a stay when visiting Seattle.

The hotel was super busy and the staff were doing a great job of trying to manage things, but it took over half an hour to drop the car off at valet, more than an hour to get our luggage and we did not get access to our second room until 6pm. I felt sorry for the people who were working a second shift. I had been told we could get a rollaway for each room, it at check-in they said that they coukdn’t put a rollaway in a room that had 2 beds in it due to fire regulations. The room was super spacious which was nice, and it could easily have accommodated a rollaway.

The hotel was beautiful but we had a horrible experience at the hotel restaurant, The George with a server that ruined my Birthday dinner. Although the hotel was kind in comping a room service charge they wouldn’t refund our actual more expensive meal. We were very disappointed with the lack of care for our experience. I was asked for my email so a manager could reach out to me and I never received an email or any follow up.

Such an amazing experience! My husband and I stayed here a few weeks ago for the first time ever and we were so in love we had to come back with our kids! We surprised them with an overnight trip and they were AMAZED by how beautiful and “fancy” everything was. Valet is also wonderful, I believe “Curtis” was his name, long dark hair, always hustling. He is wonderful and such a nice guy, very insightful as well. We plan to make this a holiday tradition for the years to come. We don’t have experience during other seasons, but I have to say, Christmas time is the best time! The trees, the lights, the smells…it was all wonderful. The pool is also so beautiful and a great temperature (as well as the hot tub). Fresh, comfy robes for all 4 of us (my husband is a big guy, 6’2” 295lbs and the robe even fit him perfectly!). Cannot wait to return! Only “Negative” that comes to mind is that the room service closes at 10pm for dessert. I think this should definitely be available until midnight, just as the “late night snacks” were available to order until 12am. But all in all 10/10, will stay here again in the future for years to come.
