Schöner Aufenthalt mit Ärgernissen
Pros:

Wir hatten eine schöne, grosse Suite mit schönem Ausblick auf den Union Lake. Die Küche war für ein kleines Essen funktional ausgestattet und sauber. Auch für den grossen Tisch waren wir dankbar.

Cons:

Während unseres dreitägigen Aufenthaltes (und sichtlich schon länger), war nur 1 Aufzug in Betrieb. In einem so grossen Hotel musste man sehr lange warten, um vom 7. Stock herunterzukommen.
Das Frühstücksbuffet war eine Schlacht: mühsame Suche nach Besteck, viele Stationen ohne Nachschub, Pappteller, lieblose Auswahl, viel zu wenig Personal für so viele Leute.

Staff Make Excellence
Pros:

I choose Residence Inn in most of my travel simply because of the professionalism and excellence of their staff. But this Residence Inn downtown Seattle Lake Union at 800 Fairview Ave stands out. Front Desk staff, Ms. Zainab was the best representative of Residence Inn excellence.

Pros:

Room and staff were great.

Cons:

We requested a handicapped room....which we were given. It was great but it was the farthest away room from the elevator. It was very challenging for my wife to get to and from. (NEW Knee and no wheel chair.)
