This is a very well located hotel and less expensive than the alternatives in the neighborhood. Although room and bathroom are small, they are sufficient and with the necessary features. Several sites for having breakfast are near, and important public transportation stops are around the hotel.

On the plus side, Max isn’t too bad of a walk into town. If you’re looking for dining, head north into South Lake Union - but many of the options don’t come up in Google maps!? Hotel is quirky - afternoon beer happy hour at 5pm is nice but we had the same beer each day. On the minus, the room is small, and the bathroom is so ridiculously small to be almost unusable. The toilet is half under the small sink, the bowl barely fits a cheek. The shower is claustrophobic. There’s very little storage for clothes so don’t plan on staying more than a night or two.

I stayed at this hotel with my three kids and had a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was quiet, which was perfect for our family getaway. The highlight for my kids was definitely the bunk beds, which they absolutely loved. The room was comfortable and provided enough space for all of us. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a great choice for a family trip.

When we checked in, our front desk woman was beyond friendly and helpful. The am checking out was a different storry. There was 2 young ladies who were most interested in sharing stories and gossiping then helping those checking out. No smiles, acted like we were an inconvenience. Sometimes 2 is not better than one. Neither girls did a good job.

It was fine, but I won't be returning. Stayed here for Sakuracon weekend. Rooms are tiny, probably the tiniest shower I've ever seen too. Bare bones interior. Our window could just open to an 8 story drop, no screen no nothing. Kinda spooky. Walls are paper thin and you can share everything your neighbors are saying. Bring earplugs. No housekeeping unless you request it 24 hours in advance. My one major complaint is there isn't a microwave anywhere on property, not even the lobby. So, we had a mini fridge full food and no way to heat it. Kinda strange, I've never stayed at a hotel without a microwave somewhere on property. Steep security deposit of $100 per day, plus $25 per day for an amenities fee for stuff like coffee downstairs (btw, no coffee maker in room). Again, kinda weird but not unheard of I suppose. If you're in town to just crash and sleep, it'll be fine, but don't expect anything else from this property. The lobby is done up nice, but the rooms are lacking and honestly that's what matters when I book.

Thank you for your feedback. The nightly destination fee is 25 per day. I believe you meant your security deposit was 300 because it is 100 per night. Please note that if you do not have any charges pending against it, the entire 300 is returned.

The hotel was overall clear and nice, easy access to all tourist places either walking or by public transport. Quiet day and night, did not bother my sleep at all. However the website did not specify about the room layout which was quite inconvenient where the shower and the toilet was separate, as well as facing straight towards the room door. Also the hotel wifi quality was pretty bad throughout the stay, complimentary but basically no use.

Please note that if Hotel Max is ever in your future, we do have larger rooms with different layouts that have both the toilet and shower in the same space. The Wi-Fi was just upgraded. We're sorry to hear that you encountered issues. Hopefully this was brought to the attention of the Front Desk for further assistance.
