AC Hotel by Marriott Seattle Downtown

4/10 Poor

"The hotel didnt have a room for me, or the other 5 guests checking in behind me. They stated "

The Belltown Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I stay at this hotel every time I visit Seattle. The main reason is that the entire staff—and I mean everyone, from the front desk to the housekeepers and security—is always smiling, cheerful, and incredibly kind, and they seem genuinely to enjoy their work. This positive atmosphere is palpable to me and other guests alike, which is why the hotel is always busy! Thank you, as always, for your warm hospitality!"

Executive Hotel Pacific

6/10 Okay

"The breakfast I paid $25 for (per person) was a joke. A breakfast sandwich or oatmeal, yogurt parfait or muffin, and juice or coffee. The toilet sounded like a 747 taking off and was loud enough to wake people down the hall. The light switch for the bathroom is located in the hall, making it impossible to see what you're doing in the middle of the night impossible without blinding others still trying to sleep. Then, to top it off, they put the coffeemaker inside a black cabinet in the unlit hallway with no way to see you're pouring water into the back of the cabinet. That said, the room was clean, the housekeeping staff eager to please, snd the food and staff in the regular restaurant excellent. I did think charging $40 for each housekeeping was ridiculous."
