Brilliant
Pros:

From ease of entry on arrival. Pleasant and efficient staff. Spotlessly clean. Complimentary tea and coffee machine. Spotless breakfast dining room and excellent staff. Luggage trolley available and excellent location. Walking distance to Ferries Amtrak King street station. Hop on hop off bus outside door and the hotel most beautifully furnished. I recommend this hotel 100%. Staff also altered booking for us to stay in the same room and extra two days due to schedule disruption beyond our control. Good size bathroom and shower. And fridge in room bar size and excellent.

Cons:

Nothing

Nice hotel in great location near waterfront
Pros:

Lovely hotel. Historic building. Great location near the waterfront ans Pioneer square. Easy walk feom train starion. Comfortable room. Wooden staircases. Friendly staff who kept out luggage at front desk while we went out and about. Breakfast was good. Basic hotel breakfast. It was more expensive than we liked but we stayed on a Friday night of a mariners game so we just paid up.

Convenient and Quiet
Pros:

This is a no-frills hotel in a very convenient location. Just cross the main road and you're on the Waterfront Promenade. By "no-frills" I mean that there's no on-site restaurant and apart from a fairly dark and uninviting seating and desk area, where you will find all the local attractions leaflets, there's no lounge area as such. But, to be fair, we didn't spend all that much time in the hotel during our 4-night pre-cruise stay.
Having got the negatives out of the way the positives are: the staff are friendly, approachable and helpful; the complimentary breakfast, although with only a limited choice, is perfectly adequate - and we particularly enjoyed the waffles and bottomless coffee!. The hotel is in a quiet area; the room size (we had 417) was an extremely good size with everything you could want - fridge, hairdrier, coffeemaker, safe, iron and ironing board, plenty of hot water, very comfortable bed, and very good toiletries.
Seattle is very walkable although be aware that the pavements are somewhat uneven, also that there's a disturbingly high level of homelessness and rough sleeping in many parts of the city. If you get the chance, visit the Space Needle and Chihuli Gardens - the hotel fixed up the trip for us, along with the open-topped tour bus. We also booked a trip through Get Your Guide (WOW Nature Tours) to Twin Falls and Snoqualmie Falls - that was excellent, cannot recommend it enough!
The hotel booked us a Cruise Ship Shuttle but it didn't turn up - (not the hotel's fault!) - and they stepped in and sorted us out with a taxi. This was cheaper!
We would definitely stay here again.

Night in downtown Seattle
Pros:

Nice and well kept on the inside. Location was fairly good.

Cons:

Rates way too high for what you pay for. The breakfast amenity provided was very unimpressive and laughable. Expensive public garages were the only parking available or provided. Lots of homeless people, drugs and trash present around the outside the hotel in surrounding neighborhood.

Trop de SDF et des odeurs d'urine
Pros:

Confort de la literie, la propreté, le fait d'avoir la possibilité de prendre le petit déjeuner sur place.

Cons:

L'ameublement de l'hôtel est vieux, la déco également des rideaux a la moquette. La salle pour prendre le petit déjeuner est trop petite. Le parking est plus cher que prévu soit 40 dollars par jour. Autour de l'hôtel des SDF défoncés au crack et des odeurs d'urine partout nous avons été choqué du nombre incroyable qui erraient de ce côté de la ville.

Perfect place for family, centrally located, good amenities!
Pros:

Centrally located to the historic district and sights. Easy to get everywhere. Clean rooms, good breakfast, helpful staff. Stayed there before boarding a family cruise. They made sure our rooms were near each other.

Lovely stay, would recommend.
Pros:

The room was spacious and very comfortable. The hotel was clean and tidy and the staff were friendly. They also accommodated an early check-in which was very much appreciated after a very long flight. Great location and easy to get to the waterfront and pike place market. Also close to the bus stop for the (free) waterfront shuttle.

Cons:

Breakfast was a little basic, but fine.

Old Scool Charm and simplicity- Pioneer Square character.
Pros:

Friendly staff and charming building, well-situated in the heart of Pioneer Square. Spacious room. Loved the balcony. Nice to be in an original Seattle low rise. Generous breakfast hours (6:30-10:30). Lobby Fireplace!

Cons:

Rooms are not soundproof - unsurprising for a building of its age, just something to note for light sleepers. & breakfast has much packaged / preservable food but clean well-maintained space.

Pros:

Läget vid Pioneer Square.

Cons:

Störande musik från restaurang nedanför rummet som gjorde det omöjligt att vara i rummet. Personalen var inte speciellt hjälpsam.

Enkel frukost.
