Friendly and helpful staff. Room upgrade to a high floor and Signature Room was a nice VIP reward. Ate at Shuckers restaurant twice as the food and service were great. Fresh fish and oysters are the main feature of this restaurant. Hotel is walking distance to the main tourist attractions such as Pike Place Market.

This hotel is excellent. It is historic and beautiful, with easy walking to Pikes Place. The beds are ridiculously comfortable and the rooms are quiet. The gym and indoor pool are also very nice. The lower level bakery for breakfast is a convenient treat.

Don’t eat at the restaurant
The restaurant was trash. They didn’t give spoons with your soup (had to ask 3 times), no steak knives with your steak and the chef thinks people are idiots when he undercooks your steak- you complain only to have your steak sent back (still not cooked), but on a hot plate.

I have always wanted to stay here and was totally disappointed. Our suite needed some updating, wallpaper in bathroom was peeling, bathroom door had damage and there was a stain on the couch. Unable to use the bar both nights as it was crowded, nowhere to sit so went to another establishment both nights. Ate at hotel restaurant Shuckers and had one of the worst meals I have ever had. Crossed this hotel off my bucket list but will not return, not worth the $$$$$

Our midnight check in was marred by my credit card not registering on the computer. The person handling our check in would not allow for my daughter to pay for our total stay on her credit card so we could go to bed with the operator saying he could not accept any other card except the one which the booking was made. After phoning Australia and confirming that the card had no "stops" or reason for not working, the operator still would not allow payment by other means. Eventually he moved onto another computer and Bingo, my payment was approved. So more than a hour of unnecessary stress placed on two senior citizens and it was nearly 2 am before we eventually got to bed through no fault of our own. Our friend who was also staying at the the hotel had her jewellery stolen which was later recovered which made us wary of leaving anything out in our room including hanging clothes, toiletries etc. Not a good feeling for a hotel with such a good reputation.
