Excellent Hotel and Location
My wife and I were very lucky to be traveling to Seattle to join the Disney Wonder for a cruise around Alaska and didn't want to miss out on the sites before we set sail. We therefore went on trip advisor to check out the hotels in the area. The Westin came up on our list of choices and the more we read about this hotel, the more we were concerned about the lift situation. We certainly didn't fancy waiting around for an elevator, instead of checking out the sights. Anyway we bit the bullet and went. WHAT A GREAT HOTEL!!!! We checked in early and our rooms where ready, even before our advised check in time, our room was on the 15th floor and had a great view. It was clean and tidy and very well decorated, I also need to let you know we were in the south tower. The location of this hotel is fantastic. The Monorail runs straight past outside the front entrance. The shopping centers are just around the corner. The Space Needle can be walked to from this hotel and will take you about 20 mins. Pike Place Market is maybe 10mins. Believe me when I say you will struggle to find a better located Hotel in Seattle for doing the touristy stuff, as well as having an enjoyable short stay. We arrived on a Saturday and checked out on a Monday morning and we never had any trouble with the elevators, all the time we were there. I guess you just need to check when the busy times are for the elevators, maybe some of the reviews have come from people who have been there when a conference has been held, or even busy check in times. All we can say is....you have it just right in our eyes. Great job..... The Westin Seattle. One last thing, you know we all like our own beds....their beds are unbelievable...they are by far the best away from home beds we have ever slept in.
