Top Downtown Seattle Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Olympic Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"First time in Seattle and my stay at Fairmont was an outstanding experience, from excellent customer service to tasty food and drinks at the bar as well as breakfast room service. The Olympic Fairmont is centrally located within walking distance to the Market at Pike Place, and the Space Needle. Will absolutely return to Seattle and stay at the Fairmont."

Renaissance Seattle Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was very friendly. The restaurant had a good food selection but seemed to be short menus. There was only one wrinkled used paper menu floating around the bar. Hotel Room had dirty windows , a hard bed, and no information about room service or amenities in the room. Not enough elevators working so everyone was crammed and long waits to get up to room. Great location. Just expected more for the price."

Executive Hotel Pacific

2/10 Terrible

"1-Star Review: Deceptive Photos, Unsafe, and Filthy am deeply disappointed with my stay at this property and cannot recommend it to anyone. The hotel looks absolutely nothing like the pictures online. Room & Cleanliness Issues: 1.) Filthy bedding: The sheets were heavily stained upon arrival. 2.) Bad odors: The room had a foul, persistent smell. 3.) Water damage: There were visible stains all over the ceiling. 4) Poor layout: The bathroom is cramped; the toilet is too close to the sink to sit comfortably, and the lid gets stuck on the handle. 5.) Terrible Customer Service: When I requested a room change due to these conditions, staff refused. Instead, they handed me fresh sheets and expected me to remake the bed myself, which is completely unacceptable for paying guests. Safety & Amenities: 1.) Security concerns: The elevators are vandalized with profanity carved into them. Dangerous environment: Loiterers and individuals engaging in suspicious activity outside made entering the hotel a stressful ordeal. The property desperately needs security. 2.) Misleading parking: Guests should know that parking is not on-site; you must park down the street at the Bank of America lot. Avoid this hotel until management addresses their hygiene, safety, and customer service standards."

Staypineapple, The Maxwell Hotel, Seattle Center Seattle

10/10 Excellent
