Rainier View Vacations from ￥224,492

The hotel was great, I loved the decor and vibe. We had never stayed in that area of Seattle before though, probably won’t stay there again because of that. BUT if you like the University district, then you should definitely stay there.

Suite is very spacious, with nice appliances and full kitchen, well stocked with cooking utensils. Very comfortable beds. Excellent view of the city and mountain. Central location easy to go everywhere . Two nice grocery stores just one block away. Hotel supply detergent for cloth washer and dish washer. Just ask the front desk if out of supply. This is more like an apartment than hotel. They don't clean the room everyday. Lots of young people, possibly Amazon employee, living here. Check out the hotel website for the amenity map, they are all available and very nice. Hotel layout is kind of complex, with multiple elevators to different places, so it takes maybe a days or two to figure out how to most efficiently go everywhere. Elevator are operated differently from typical ones in hotels, so it can be confusing at the first few rides, but once figure out how it works, you would actually feel it is very efficient and much better. Elevators are very fast. Only need 1 elevator ride from any garage floor to room floor. Garage has plenty of spots. Just need to go down 4 to 7 floors. You can always find a few empty spots together where you can comfortably park larger vehicle. Knowing the crazy surface parking situation at hotel location, it is really nice to have a guaranteed parking spot. Make good use of the P1 level. Don't worry about the "pre checkin" link sent to expedia. It is not needed.

Beautiful hotel. Fantastic location, around the corner from Pike Place Market, and our room had a fabulous view. We enjoyed the views (and cocktails) from the rooftop terrace, and everyone on staff was helpful, friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to our next stay!

From the moment I arrived, despite it being late, the staff was great. Consistently friendly. I was very happy with my room, the restaurant, the bar, and breakfast. The hotel and my room were beautifully decorated. This is clearly where I’d stay if I was back in Seattle.

Kitchen was out of commission (no working cooking appliances) so had to dine off premises. No one was at the Valet parking counter so we needed to park next door at Westlake mall.
