Would have been awesome except there was mold
Pros:

The main issue we had with our room was the mold in the bathroom. There was a good amount of mold on the ceiling in between the shower and the sink. The room was great, the location was perfect, the mold was just an atrocity for the price we paid for the room. I understand it was an extremely busy weekend in Seattle so the price was understandable, but the mold was not.

Cons:

The mold was unfortunately the line that was crossed. I cannot stay in a location with mold and unfortunately, we didn't notice it until after the concert we came to see. I was washing my makeup off, I look up and there's the mold! Gross.

Loved the room and location

Cons:

Very loud outside all night. Parking is a bit expensive when you already pay a destination fee as well as room cost.

Nice style and location as long as you don't look too closely.
Pros:

Location great, natural light amazing, style overall was nice

Cons:

Bathroom was dingy and dusty. Corners dirty. Shoddy grout/sealant. Minibar/snacks were extremely overpriced.

Buona posizione, ma giusto quella.
Pros:

Buona posizione vicino al porto, alla zona dei ristoranti sul molo e a pochi minuti da Pike Place.

Cons:

Camera piccola, nessuna cassaforte, luci minime, pulizia solo su richiesta (se non metti il cartello fuori la sera prima non ti fanno la stanza!).
La politica di prezzo è poco seria. Al prezzo “base” senza colazione inclusa è applicata una “fee” obbligatoria a fronte della quale verrebbe offerto: wifi gratuito, accesso al fitness center, 2 bottigliette d’acqua gratis all’arrivo, sconti sui negozi e ristoranti dei dintorni, 12USD di sconto al giorno (non cumulabili) nel loro ristorante e 5USD al giorno nel frigobar. In pratica è un aumento di prezzo non opzionale per servizi che dovrebbero essere inclusi, tranne gli sconti. Ma: degli sconti su negozi e ristoranti alla reception non sapevano, e dopo avere cercato hanno trovato una vecchia fotocopia dicendo che probabilmente non era più valida (erano comunque sconti ridicoli), dello sconto al frigobar in reception non sapevano (abbiamo dovuto mostrare la mail che ci era arrivata) e il ristorante era chiuso la domenica sera (quindi impossibile utilizzare lo sconto).
Non all’altezza del brand Sonesta.

Fantastic staff. Beautiful room!
Pros:

Brandon at the front desk is simply wonderful. Super welcoming and professional. Wish every hotel had someone as kind and helpful. Our room is huge! Spotless and super comfortable. The location is perfect. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Outstanding
Pros:

This boutique hotel will serve as our home away from home whenever we come to Seattle for football. The entire team is friendly and professional, and Arianna at the front desk is a standout. She personally is responsible for garnering our business at the start. Her response to questions about the property and surrounding area was both informative and enthusiastic. In fact, she set the tone for our first experience at The Alexis Sonesta. We look forward to our next trip to cheer on the Seahawks.
