Not worth the stay.
I actually live in the Seattle area and purchased my stay at a discount BUT had I been from out of town and stayed here I would have been VERY disappointed. The Hotel Max is a small boutique hotel in Seattle but with so many other nicer, bigger hotels there is no reason to stay here. The photos show "Chic" decor but that doesn't show the whole story. 
If you are from out of town and have a lot of bags you probably won't be able to fit into the elevator. My room had a really bad odor when we checked in. (not sure what that was) The room was warm and the "in window" air conditioner didn't cool the room.. but it did freeze the bathroom! The shower was also the smallest I have ever seen! The room I was in was also right next to the elevator and while I didn't notice any problem at check in, come 6:00 am I could here the cables everytime the elevator was called. NOT GOOD. 
Again, there are so many great hotels in Seattle... it would be ok if you skipped this one.
