There was a long, slow, backup from 4th to the Valet parking. The long line for registration took forever to navigate. BUT, everyone was extremely pleasant throughout the lengthy wait time. With so many holiday celebrations it was probably a big contributing factor. There was a big glitch with room service, but the front desk made it right and, hopefully, the issue will be resolve to avoid future occurrences. All in all, it was a very festive and fun stay. I am hopeful mgmt. will work toward resolving the issues in future.

Kenneth M. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

WE decided to take our grand children to a Broadway show and stay over night in Seattle even though we live locally. It was a Christmas surprise with a show, dinner and over night stay. Checking in was wonderful and easy. Valet parking was great!! We got to our room and changed for the evening events. Went to have a drink with the kids, sat and waited and waited for anyone to serve us. After two servers walked past us telling us they would be right back, we waited more. I finally gave up and went to the bar and ordered our drinks. A Vodka martini, a glass of red wine, a Shirley Temple and a Blueberry lemonade. I confirmed them with the bartender. The one server finally came by and I told her I had already ordered. She brought the two drinks, my martini and my granddaughter's "blueberry lemonade". It didn't look or taste like lemonade. I made sure it had no alcohol in it. Then my husbands' red wine came and my grandsons' Shirley temple. Again, it did not look anything like the drink ordered (Shirley temple) or taste like it. The server then came by again with another drink for my grandson saying well this one has a cherry in it! I was surprised to say the least from a Hotel of this caliber and reputation. One more thing, there was no soap in the room to use in the shower. I called and no one answered and an automated response came on so I left a message about getting soap. (room 948). December 29th. We never received a call, response or soap.

This hotel is beautiful! We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday and they made it special by upgrading our room to a suite and giving him a free drink at the bar. We loved the pool and hot tub area and the hotel is an easy walk to lots of restaurants, bakeries, shopping, and attractions.
