Unfriendly, unwelcoming and awful
Striking, although very strange decor, a good location in Downtown Seattle and a comfy bed, however I had awful service during my stay.
I arrived late after my plane had been delayed with my body clock thinking it was 4am, to the receptionist saying that they had no record of my booking which had been made through my airline in January. He then refused to let me call my airline using their phones, meaning that I had to phone back home to the UK on my mobile at great expense, before letting me stay on the proviso that they would sort it out the next day. My airline emailed them my booking in January however this was never put onto Hotel Max's system!
At this point also, a $75 per night (I was staying for 6 nights so $450) retainer for any damages was made to my debit card before he had even given me an idea of the amount, leading me to think that this was a small amount, which caused issues financially on my travel debit card meaning I had to transfer money that evening to give me any spending money for the holiday!
The rooms were comfortable from the bed perspective, however the bathroom was very small, the bath very slippery, if not dangerous after it had been cleaned and the plug in the sink non-functioning. 
The cleaners turned up to clean my room at 6pm one day when I had returned to my room and this took several attempts at explaining that I wasn't leaving my room to send them away and say ignore the cleaning that day! There was no spoon of any sorts with my cups with which to stir coffee and when I called down to reception they never sent one up despite saying they would.
For the high price of this hotel, I would have expected good service. Instead the service was poor and I felt unwelcome at most times. I wish I had gone for a chain hotel just down the road, where at least the service would have been friendly and at arguably a cheaper price! Very disappointed.
