Excellent Choice
I chose this hotel based on the recommendation of friends, and the customer service rep. at Victoria Clipper (a catamaran that runs between Seattle and Victoria). This was a package which included return trips on the Clipper. The cost was $289 each for two rooms for three nights---this price included travel. Somehow, my 3 sisters and I got an upgrade to Club Class on our two adjoining queen rooms on the 33rd of 34 floors, and the result is that this will be the only place I stay in Seattle from now on. The hotel is centrally located, very close to both shopping and museums. Customer service was excellent and dedicated to efficiency. Each room was lovely---immaculately clean and not over-decorated, with both a small fridge and a safe hidden away. The bathrooms were spacious, well-appointed (extra toiletries provided immediately on request), and scrupulously clean ( I checked!) The beds were dressed in flawless white, and the sheets smelt as though they'd just been brought in off the clothesline: fresh, not perfumed. The mattress was very comfortable, with just the right firmness, and there were ample pillows. Best yet, there was a blanket (and multiple sheets) on the bed and not an insufferably hot duvet. I prefer a cool room, and that was easy to achieve with the thermostat and fan. There was ample cupboard space for two of us, even with our crazy shopping. They even put a clip on the drapes so that they would close entirely and block out all light! We could vaguely hear people in the other rooms, and traffic noise (we faced Mt. Rainier), but the noise wasn't intrusive, nor did it keep me from sleep. We didn't have recourse to room service because a delicious and fresh continental breakfast was included in the cost of the room (a phenomenal value!), and there are lots of good restaurants in the area. The bank of elevators moved swiftly and efficiently, despite a heavy load of visitors. There are two restaurants in the hotel: we used only the Grill for drinks on the first night: very comfortable and very reasonably priced. I can't think of a single problem with this hotel or this stay. I would highly recommend it, but I will add that this was Club Class. I can't speak for the rest of the hotel. Also: these arrangements were made through the Victoria Clipper. Speak to a rep rather than making arrangements on-line, because I believe he gave us the up-grade without my having to ask. This is the second time I've made my travel arrangements through them, and I wouldn't attempt to go to Seattle any other way.
