We had the opportunity to stay here on the way home from vacation. It was a nice
looking hotel, with clean, well furnished rooms. However, we arrived late and
had to have maintenance in twice, once to fix the toilet the other to fix the
modem. They followed up these services with calls to assure the maintenance was
to our satisfaction which it was. The biggest bummer of the stay was when we
attempted to get on the shuttle to get the airport, as we crossed the parking
lot the shuttle driver told us we would have to wait until the next shuttle and
basically left us in the dust.....I emailed the manager of this and received no
response. It was funny that they bent over backwards to assure the maintenance
issues were resolved, but when we actually had a concern they ignored us.
However, we would probably stay again.

The hotel is very expensive, but the room comfortable. My biggest complaint is
the horrible quality of food. This hotel needs Chef Ramsey! I had the maple
glazed salmon and I must say, expensive and tasteless. The salmon was dry and
overcooked and the presentation looked like it must have fell on the floor on
the way to my table. We unfortunately tried breakfast the next morning and I
should have learned my lesson from the night before. The Chef must be on
vacation or should be replaced!

Stayed in March, 2010 for a one night lay over at SEATAC airport. Location
proximity to airport can't be beat. Shuttle picks up opposite the terminal. Take
the skybridge towards the parking garage and pick up the shuttle where all of
the other hotel and parking lot buses pick up. There is a complimentary phone to
call the hotel, but it is not necessary as the shuttle runs all the time. I have
been told that the frequency depends on the time of day. I waited 15 minutes.
Shuttle was packed with airline crew members as this seems to be the place that
many crews overnight. This made check-in painfully slow. Even though there is a
dedicated check-in for airline crews, they are sharing the same number of
check-in clerks so the regular check-in was reduced to one staff member.
Eventually a second person came to help out, but when all was done I waited over
15 minutes to check in.
During the check-in process, cookies were received and I was asked if I was okay
with a room that only had a shower in the bathroom. I said that this was fine.
Reviews are correct when they say that the layout of the hotel is confusing.
I've never been lost in a hotel, but I found it difficult to find my room and
had to back track once. Once I figured out the first number of the room is the
building number, things made much more sense and the signage was adequate to
find the room.
The room was smallish, and somewhat motel like in layout and finishes. The room,
on the first floor overlooked a parking lot and another building in the
background. The bathroom was a decent size and did indeed only have a shower.
Again, the reviews stating that the bathroom floors are tile, unheated, and very
cold are accurate. The floors in the bathroom were so cold I had to put down
towels to create pathways. The shower, although a decent size, was disappointing
and next time I'll be sure to ask for a tub.
The hotel is beautiful from the outside. Sort of "west coast meets Polynesia".
The inside common areas are also quite beautiful, although still undergoing a
rennovation in places including the front desk area. The rooms, although updated
with new furniture, flat screen, bedding, etc., the overall layout and design of
the rooms seem dated, including the door itself with a huge gap on the bottom.
Considering the price paid on Priceline.com, I would say that this hotel gave
very good value for the price paid. I found the staff pleasant, but I really did
not require their services so I can't comment on what other reviewers have said
about the apathy of many of the staff.
The location can't be beat, and it is true that you could actually walk from the
airport depending on terminal. I just could not figure out the sidewalk route I
would take and one could tell from the layout of the airport that walking is
just not encouraged, but it s doable.
There are many small fast food restaurants in the area, but fine dining appears
to be limited. The landscaping of the hotel is beautiful, but I feel that all of
Seattle is like this: lush.
I'll be back again by the end of the month and looking forward to my return
visit. |
