Clean and modern hotel in Seattle, but not much character
My husband and I stayed at Hyatt at Olive 8 when we went to Seattle for a wedding. We both really like boutique hotels, and although run by Hyatt, got the impression from looking at pictures that is was the younger, more chic cousin to the Grand Hyatt which is about a block away. The hotel is clean, shiny, and new, with a lovely lobby, but there really isn't as much personality as we were expecting. Our room was your standard business hotel room--very functional, but nothing that really distinguished it from all the other business hotels we've stayed in. We asked for a high floor, hoping for some sort of view, but the room faced a nondescript building (I think it's an apartment building). It's in a good location, and we were able to walk to a lot of the destinations that we wanted to see, but next time we travel to Seattle, we're likely to stay someplace that is a little bit more "Seattle."
