The Hotel Sorrento has a lot of potential. The localtion is cool, in that you can easily (for the most part) walk to Capitol Hill or Downtown. I walked to the Mariners game from the hotel and it was a breeze. Unfortuantely, during my stay the elevator was broken and I was on the 6th floor. The communication from the staff regarding this was limited at best. So after long days of walking around Seattle, gettig to the hotel to walk up 6 flights of stairs was a bit of a drag. There are no robes or much else in terms of little soft touches. What the hotel is in desperate need of is some staff training and some sort of managerial oversight to address issues as they come up. There is a restuarant attached to the hotel, but in-room dining didn't seem realistic, and the hours especially on the weekend did not fit my schedule, but that being said, there are plenty of places in Seattle for all meals of the day, so I didn't sweat it. It did have the feeling that I was simply renting a bed for a couple of days. I received an earful from one of the bartenders at Stella, for reasons I can't fully explain, but involved another guest, for which she took it out on me in front of other guests, after I had just walked in to order a beer to take back to the lounge as no one working seemed interested in waiting on the table. I didn't make a big deal about any of the problems, as the elevator was a freak thing. But the staff could all use additional training and a new bartender.
