Never again
Pros:

Restaurant and bar were a delight with great staff

Cons:

Front desk, specifically L’Tanya, were rude and disrespectful. Constantly changing check-in time, spoke untruths about the behavior on the room adjacent to ours (it was cleaned and left open for unknown persons who stayed when it was not occupied by a customer)

Great spot to experience Seattle
Pros:

Great spot for us as we had the one night in Seattle before a cruise. Great location - walkable to everything you want to see downtown. Short ride to cruise terminal. Staff was super friendly and helpful, beds and pillows very comfortable. On site restaurant was so good. Highly recommend for one night or your whole vaca in Seattle.

Great location but deeply understaffed
Pros:

The hotel is very well-located by Pike Place Market, with easy access to public transport so you can get around with family or a group.

Unfortunately, our stay suffered greatly due to poor staffing set up. To be clear, the people who were actively working were doing their best and very helpful. But they could not overcome an elevator out of order (there are only 2, so the one remaining lift means waiting), and a lack of staff in the restaurant.

We had breakfast as part of our rate, and on 2 of 3 mornings, there was only one chef trying his best. This means big line-ups to be seated/eat anywhere near 9am. We got up earlier and were seated at 8am to avoid this rush, but it was still an hour wait for simple orders like a 2 egg breakfast plate because the kitchen was so backed up trying to survive.

Having stayed at Kimptons elsewhere in the world, I would squarely place this experience in the “below average” territory, rescued by its location and existing staff doing their best to keep things working.

Not worth the money!
Pros:

I was very disappointed with my stay. The hotel felt extremely dark throughout, which made it feel uninviting rather than comfortable.

The biggest issue was the noise. Despite being inside my room, I could clearly hear loud street noise throughout the night, making it difficult to relax and get a good night’s sleep.

The hotel also charges a $30 USD per night amenity fee, but I struggled to see what amenities justified the extra cost. It felt like an unnecessary charge that added little value to the stay.

Parking was another major frustration. The hotel only offers valet parking at $62 USD per night, with no self-parking option available. When I asked about alternatives, I was simply told I could park somewhere else in the city if I didn’t want to use the valet service. For a hotel charging these kinds of fees, I expected more flexibility and better value.

Overall, between the dark atmosphere, excessive noise, questionable amenity fee, and extremely expensive mandatory valet parking, I would not choose to stay here again.

Fantastic hotel!
Pros:

Very nice hotel! The social hour is a nice touch. I have a serious allergy to wines under $10, but I didn’t go into anaphylactic shock when I tried a glass. The attached restaurant is also quite good. Overall 5 dimensional awesome experience!

Hotel with a great location
Pros:

The location was the best. We could walk to everything or a simple Uber ride.

Cons:

We couldn’t get into our room until after 4pm which check in was 3pm. We came in from the east coast so it had been a long day. I had I initially requested m for our rooms to be next to each other so that could have been the reason but it took me going up 2 times to have someone get us our rooms an hour later. Once I said I was willing to be separated they found rooms. Another desk employee had to take over my problem.

Pros:

ארוחת בוקר טובה מאוד

Cons:

צוות לא מקצועי. הוזמן חדר עם שתי מיטות נפרדות כשהגענו נאמר לנו שאין חדר ואחרי המתנה קיבלנו חדר עם ספה מאוד לא נוחה
בנוסף למרות ששילמנו דרך האתר ,המלון לקח תשלום כפול על השהיה ולקח לנו כמה ימים אחרי שיחות טלפון איתם לקבל החזר כספי .
