Mayflower Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Mayflower Park is a lovely old hotel with spacious, comfortable rooms. We had a great stay with everything meeting our high expectations. The staff, including the valets, was exceptional."

Hyatt House Seattle/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was Amazing!!! The staff was great! They were all very courteous and every time you saw them they always had a smile on their face! The room was massive and a great size for our vacation. The beds were wonderful along with the pillows. Room was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast wasn’t great, but it was very good for what they had! Good selection to choose from for both food, drink, pastries, fruit, and more. I would highly recommend this location to everyone!"

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The valet parking was a touch confusing as we weren’t sure exactly where to go, but that’s more of a layout/street setup issue! Once you pull up and check in with the parking guys it was seamless. The front desk people were SO kind and amazing. Personable, friendly, hilarious and immediately welcoming. Our room was clean and very nicely styled. The beds were very comfortable and the PILLOWS WERE SO MUCH NICER THAN USUAL!! the bedding was soft and didn’t feel like the usual stiff and scratchy hotel bulk sheets. highly recommend, and the location cannot be beat! "
