Executive Hotel Pacific

6/10 Okay

"Terrible check in. Stayed an extra day and no clean sheets, fresh towels, or anything. The restaurant was all automated and the table machine didn’t work. Poor service."

Level Seattle Downtown - South Lake Union

6/10 Okay

"The room is super nice and it’s in a really cool area but if you need something and call the front seat 9/10 they won’t answer, the oven notch thing to turn the temp on broke and they literally just super glued it back together so I had to call to have them help me turn it off because of that too. For how much your paying to stay here I just feel like I should stay and not have to worry about anything but I just felt like something was always not working here."

Hyatt House Seattle/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very polite and informative, the breakfast had a good variety of food, the location was amazing such an easy walk to the space needle and surrounding activities, the room was quiet even with the light rail next to our room, a short walk to public transportation and cabs just outside the doors. The room itself was great spacious, useful kitchen, large bathroom, and well lit."

Travelodge by Wyndham Seattle By The Space Needle

8/10 Good

"This hotel is old but it's a place to sleep and take a shower. Only issue we had was reserved 2 guests for 2 beds. Gave us room with one bed, went back to desk and gave us a different room with one bed. Third time finally got the two beds. But the reservation from hotels.com was correct but on the hotel system it changed to one bed."

Mayflower Park Hotel

6/10 Okay

"I’m from the hotel industry. The hotel was quaint at best. The carpets were very dirty and I found the staff was overly casual. I don’t believe this is a reflection of the staff as it’s more a reflection of the low standards of the hotel. Although the price was average I believe that it was over priced for what it was."
