We really enjoy staying at the Sorrento during the cool time of the year.
Pros:

We had the Sorrento Queen Suite. It was lovely. Had room to spread out, make our own coffee in the morning using our Aeropress. This was not our first stay at this hotel. It is a nice, quiet hotel with very comfortable beds.

Cons:

The room was pre-heated, which is nice, but it was turned on so high that we had to shut it off and had the windows open all night. Slept with eye masks and earplugs.

Pros:

Staff were excellent as is the food which was spectacular

Cons:

Cost of parking, hotel is shabby, and was surprised by the cost of the hidden fees for taxes. Also left items behind that were not turned in by housekeeping.

Pros:

I have booked my stay at the Sorrento in Seattle on various occasions during quick overnight trips to attend medical facilities. It is convenient and has excellent hospitality, while near transportation hub downtown Seattle.

Cons:

It is one of the more expensive lodgings, but using Booking.com helps offset it.
