Lovely Service...but it has its quirks for an upmarket hotel
We wanted to stay in a nice hotel in downtown Seattle that would accommodate our family of 5. This turned out to be very difficult to find. We ended up at The Sorrento Hotel, which put us in a suite with two Queens with a pullout couch. The room was very nicely appointed--good furniture, linens, it was clean, and the service at the hotel (front desk and bell desk) was very helpful and friendly. The quirks of the hotel compared to other hotels that we have stayed in recently are (1) it is very old, so the floors creak, the elevator is very small, and it was discussed in the elevator by two hotel workers that there may be a ghost on the 6th floor. It has charm compared to typical hotels. (2) The bathroom for the suite is small--no counter space (it's a pedestal sink), a tub with a shower curtain, etc. Though the fixtures are nice, I would have expected more from this level of hotel. (3) No ice machine--you have to call to request ice. (4) No second sink in the "wet bar" area...and the refrigerator is pretty much completely full of minibar items so not very usable. All that said, the staff was helpful and we slept well (good linens and comfy bed!) so I would recommend a visit.
