Staypineapple, Hotel FIVE, Downtown Seattle

Pricey but likely competitive with other hotels of the same caliber. Parking rates are very high. Struggled with the shower. It was small and the handle didn't work correctly. Although the comforters are very soft and unique, we just couldn't keep covered with them lol. If they have to give you written directions for how to use of comforters it seems a bit excessive but maybe it was just us. If you are facing 5th ave you will have a lot of noise from the monorail and traffic.

So noisy!! the whole entire night the garbage trucks kept driving by. It was extremely loud! The hotel itself is pretty old, the room was outdated!

Nulla

There were lots of homeless people, not directly outside the hotel but close by

Shower worked, but felt like I was gonna break it turning it on

We’ve stayed at StayPineapple in Portland more than a few times and this was our first time staying with StayPineapple in Seattle. To be honest, the staff were lovely but the whole experience was a bit disappointing.

The room itself looked and felt tired, nothing like the pictures online - which was only exacerbated by the fact it’s one of the most expensive hotels we’ve booked in our many years of traveling, including NYC and Tokyo.

We paid the pup fee for 2 nights but didn’t get the StayPineapple pup welcome pack which we’ve always received in Portland.

We booked this room months in advance and confirmed the room, along with pup and parking, on the Wednesday before arrival. Despite having a confirmation email we were told they hadn’t received our confirmation for these and informed us we had to find parking elsewhere (in a pay lot next door or on the street) because they didn’t have any more available. That was an interesting claim however as our dog’s name was already on the pup welcome board.

It wasn’t a great way to start the stay and the rest of the weekend didn’t really freshen up at all. We chalked it up to experiencing the Seattle ‘grunge’ - and will look at other options for our next stay in the city.

Side note: while the on property parking wasn’t available, the outdoor parking lot next door was cheaper and the on street parking was free in the evenings and on Sundays (which worked out for us).

Bedding -- instead of normal bedding, they provide smaller "individual" comforters that just fall off the bed in the middle of the night.
Service -- All around disappointing. First off, housekeeping didn't actually clean the room. We finally figured out a way to make the bedding work and they just put it back to their annoying setup and placed their overpriced stuffed dog on the bed (meanwhile, they tossed my kids actual stuffies on the floor; they were on the bed). Then they just left the dirty coffee cups and water glasses as they were. I couldn't care less about their stuffed animal, but I did want clean cups. Then to top it off, we called the front desk to ask for herbal/decaf tea (which they definitely have) and were told, we would need to go down the street to Whole Foods if we wanted anything that wasn't already in the room. (Their manager seemed shocked to hear that we had received that response when we relayed it to him at checkout but that was a little too late.)
All in all, this hotel is overpriced and could only get away with the rate they were charging because it was around the World Cup (mind you, we were not actually staying in town when any of the local games were scheduled but they were milking it nonetheless).
