Great Location. Details need some attention
Stayed here 3/1-3/4 2012. The checkin process was easy. Parking is very expensive at $44/night (charged if you park 5 - 24 hours). There is street parking and cheaper garage parking available. But if you don't really need a car, don't bring one -- the train from the airport is easy and cheap and the stop is one block from the Sheraton. Its easy to walk to Pikes Place Market or the convention center.
The Lobby is nice and inviting, very large. Free WiFi in the Lobby only which annoys me. They should add free WiFi to the Fitness Center on the 35th Floor.
We were in the older Pike Tower and the rooms are dated. The beds are fine, but the carpeting needs a rehab. The maids for some reason didn't replace the Shampoo etc on a daily basis, so this was annoying.
The bathroom is fine and clean.
The biggest gripe we had of the stay is the desire to maintain a nice hotel. The prime example that shows this -- there was a starbucks coffee cup on the table in the elevator lobby for 3 straight days -- never picked up by housekeeping. How can this hotel expect to be considered 4* when the service for their own common areas is not there?
We expected a little bit better especially for the rate and brand image.
