Large comfortable rooms
My family of 4 (13 & 15 year old) stayed 3 nights, the beginning of August. Our stay didn't start out very well....major construction was going on in the area, the only "on street" parking was occupied by the Hyatt Place shuttle and the parking garage required a room key to enter so my husband had to drop me off and circle around while I checked in. Very inconvenient. Once in the hotel we were very pleased with our larger than normal room. The hotel is within walking distance to the Seattle Center (home of the Space Needle, EMP, etc) and a monorail that will take you down to the Pike's Market area. The hotel shuttle was a nice amenity and gave us a ride to the Aquarium. A nice breakfast is included and offered a good variety but it was so crowded the staff couldn't keep it stocked. After spending time in the San Juan Islands, we returned to Seattle for a couple of days and we ended up staying at the Mawell Seattle because the Hyatt Place was booked. In comparison, while the Hyatt Place was nice, we enjoyed everything about The Maxwell much, much better and would recommend that over the Hyatt Place.
