Peaceful, spacious, luxurious and fantastic location.
Pros:

I was delighted to upgraded to a room with a view. Particularly being my first trip to Seattle it made it very special.
The room was quiet, comfortable and felt luxurious, particularly the spa bathroom

Cons:

I was hugely disatisfied by the lack of food service-- bar closed early, no room service and the day I checked out I had to wait 20 minutes just for a coffee and croissant. The coffee shop was woefully understaffed.

Great hotel, exceptional staff
Pros:

We had stated the hotel once before and had a nice time so we thought we would try it again. This time was even better than the first. The staff of the hotel is amazing starting with Noble at the front desk. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and made our check-in experience a breeze.
While dining in the Bookstore Bar, Zach was friendly and attentive.
I don’t tend to write reviews, but I feel like there is a lot a negative sharing and not enough positive so I want to highlight Noble for making our stay truly special.

A quick 2 day staycation during the Fourth Of July.
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at the Kimpton Alexis hotel in Seattle! We loved loved the spa Suite where we stayed. They upgraded Us for free! The bathtub and bathroom area is simply amazing! I loved the modern Decor all throughout. I absolutely love that you can dim all the different lights in the main room and the bedroom area. My biggest thing I absolutely loved is the fact that we could take our cat.They were extremely happy to have him. Because, he is part of our family, it made us feel very good that they were so attentive to our pet. We absolutely also loved that you can walk easily to Pikes Place Market and the waterfront area. The only thing I missed was a microwave in the room. We definitely will be back!!

Amazing customer service
Pros:

I am so glad I booked the Sonesta. I have never stayed at this brand before but I am glad I took a chance. The location is great. The rooms are huge and spacious, with comfortable beds and great air conditioning. All the staff are wonderful specifically Brandon and Scottie. The Bookstore Bar’s food was good, quick and pleasant service. I highly recommend this hotel.

Noble is the best!
Pros:

Noble at the front desk was very accommodating and friendly. He made me and my families experience a 10/10. Was very professional and generous upon checking in after not only having a packed but lobby but phone calls coming in left to right. This was me and my wife's first time here and can honestly say that the experience here has been far better than others. Thanks again to Noble for his professionalism and kindness to out of towners!

Comfortable & convenient
Pros:

This is a nice hotel with really nice staff. Brandon & Nobel at the front desk showed us exceptional hospitality & made us feel welcome & at home. Very convenient to many downtown attractions like Pikes Place & the waterfront. Room amenities are nice with comfortable bed & convenient drink & snack options in the room. The valet staff Scott, Jay & Robert were helpful & accommodating. The only question mark for us was why Lobby coffee was not available all day. We would stay here again.
