It's a charming historic hotel. The beds are very comfortable and the breakfast is actually delicious, which is rare. The front desk also accommodated an especially late checkout for me, which was extremely helpful.

The location is convenient for the train station, but too far for the convention center. At night, the surrounding area also feels a bit dangerous and I was hesitant to walk alone. Also, the American practice of hiding all sorts of hidden fees and taxes is infuriating. Each night as this hotel will be at least 30% more expensive than advertised, which feels deceptive. Booking.com should include all the relevant costs upfront!

Solid breakfast buffet, and GF options, too. Loved the towel teddy bear on the bed. Appreciated the makeup mirror. Great idea to have a permanent rug in the bathroom in addition to the bath mat; that way, we can walk in the bathroom on a dry rug, rather than either a wet bath mat or cold tile. BLESS YOU for including a kettle in the coffee nook. On behalf of tea drinkers everywhere, we thank you profusely. And your cups don't smell & taste of coffee. Bonus! We had dinner by the fire in lobby and it was cozy. The waiter was funny and attentive.

Only one cup was in the room so we had to run downstairs and ask for a second mug. The room could also have used a little more dusting, but otherwise, was fine.

An historic building. Exquisite lobby and bar. The history was why I chose to stay at this property and I was not disappointed. My room was good as well – a good size, if not huge, with a desk area for working and a nice bathroom. The breakfast was buffet style and pretty good.

We had a small discrepancy where the hotel charged me on my closing folio for a room service item that I did not take/use. This was quickly rectified on contacting the hotel by email.

Loved the theme of the hotel. We arrived in Seattle early in the morning and were able to drop off our luggage at the hotel and park (there is concierge parking, but note that it is NOT included if you book through booking.com-- we found a cheaper option around the corner after learning this). Conveniently located within walking distance of Pike Place market and other downtown sights. We enjoyed a few drinks at the hotel bar. Breakfast was a buffet in the connected restaurant and was quite good.

Parking is NOT included if you book through booking.com

the room was beautiful and the breakfast buffet was wonderfully set with a variety choice.

I didn't like the location of the hotel. we came in late at night and felt like our only option was to pay for valet. The second thing I noticed was the bedroom pillows were uncomfortable. they were too thick! Last thing, I felt I was getting judged by how I looked- but not by the staff but by other guests. it made me feel uncomfortable. I was dressed but i felt i was being judged by my appearance

It was central location and everything was closed by.

They couldn’t find my reservation and then put me in a room with one bed. I wanted 2 bed. Went back to them and they gave a roll away bed. I finally found my reservation and they made it right. Why couldn’t they found it. The front desk did made the mistake. They didn’t say what they did wrong but after 45 minutes later I got the right room

The historic aspect of the hotel enhances a great location. The breakfast is slamming, with several hot and cold items. It's served in what appears to be a bar/restaurant that's no longer a bar/restaurant, which brings a large and comfortable seating area. The gym is small but serviceable. A genuine pleasure is bellying up to the historic Polar Bar for a nightcap.

While the hotel has done what it can to embrace its history, it really needs to upgrade the smallest and slowest elevators we've encountered. Maybe they're steam-powered. The real complaint is the price. The original rate was $311. Now let's add taxes, an unspecified $50 "special charge," (no one could tell me what this was for, so it's another way to nickle and dine -- well, nickle and $50 -- customers), and then another $50 for parking. That is $50 a day. The bill approached $500 for one night.

Historic building with early 20thC explorer vibe. Beautiful lobby and bar with dark wood and fireplace makes you want to settle in and read the latest news about polar explorations and gold discoveries. Wonderful breakfasts.

Neighborhood is not exactly vibrant. There are a significant number of people living on the streets in downtown Seattle, including near the hotel. But this is all over downtown Seattle.

Loved the feel of the hotel, it was so charming and the rooms were a lot bigger than I expected! Staff was friendly and kind. Loved the bar area with the pool table.

The only thing that was a real disappointment was the breakfast. Honestly... it was depressing. It didn't match the feel of the rest of the hotel at all. The food was average but the ambiance... was terrible. I wish it was located somewhere else. It needs a remodel for sure.

breakfast was very good, much nicer than expected. hotel was awesome, I enjoyed the attention to detail in relation to the age of the property. very old school beautiful.

the homeless people, much more aggressive than our homeless people in chicago...and many many more, and in groups. pretty uncomfortable really. better be in by dark. we got to see a fecal episode on the sidewalk (crazy gross), my husband had food thrown at him. In chicago, we give homeless our leftovers and they are appreciated. we had a horrible time finding a place for dinner, everyplace closed at 2 or 3. we chose seattle because of climate in summer. yes, there is some natural beauty...but I would not recommend seattle to anyone. sorry.
