Excelente ubicacion y espaciosas habitaciones
Pros:

Lo que mas nos gusto fue la ubicacion, la habitacion estuvo bien pero por el precio que pagamos que fue precio regular sin descuento ni nada entiendo que pudimos tener una ventana mirando hacia la calle y no a una pared de un edificio.

Cons:

La habitacion que nos dieron ya que pagamos mucho dinero por la habitacion entonces nos dan una habitacion mirando a una pared, tambien el hotel necesita algo ya que no es barato entendemos que la ubicacion es buena pero necesita quizas modernizarse un poco.

Hostel Max or Hotel Min(imum) feels a more accurate description..
Pros:

Location and proximity to other activities were the highlights.

Cons:

The rooms are really small (reminiscent of a hostel) and outdated compared to the modern look of the lobby. The bathrooms are even smaller/tighter with the shower stall being 2ft x 3ft rendering it standing space only (bending over is not optional).

Cool place where modern meets grunge & rock music vibe!
Pros:

Prepare to be impressed! Hotel Max offers a super cool mix of modern meets grunge & rock music vibe! The front desk is bright metallic red & the front desk staff is friendly & helpful. Each room has a record player & a stack of records that take you back to a variety of decades of great music. Don’t miss free beer at happy hour 5-6 pm everyday! - did I mention it’s bottomless beer? Located within short walking distance to Pike Place & many restaurants & cafes. You definitely need to stay at this gem of a hotel!

The Max staff are THE BEST.
Pros:

I cannot state enough how impressed and grateful my family, friends and I are with our stay at The Max the last weekend of July.

In addition to the lovely, quiet and tastefully-decorated rooms, THE STAFF - particularly the front staff - are EXCEPTIONAL.

We WILL return to Seattle and the ONLY place to stay with convenient walking to all attractions — THE MAX.
