This was a nice departure from chain hotels.
Pros:

The hotel’s atmosphere was really cool. It felt like we were stepping back in time to the days of the explorers. The rooms were nicely decorated.

The staff were very responsive and personable.

It was memorable stay for the World Cup
Pros:

This is the old building in the middle of the Seattle downtown so it has some history to it. Their rooms are big enough for our group of four people style classic and cleans. The breakfast was good and the staff are very friendly.

Cons:

The location is not good. There are homeless people outside of them follow us at midnight. I wish he has a swimming pool or sauna and the room windows they didn’t open up so air circulation has only beat AC which I did not like. Overall, I believe it could be less expensive than $1000 Canadian a night for four people.

Good location and suited my needs well
Pros:

Location was mainly good. Close to public transport and station 10 of hop on/off bus.
Room was very spacious and bed was comfortable. Breakfast changed up enough. Reception was friendly and helpful.
Good walking distance to waterfront and stadiums.

Cons:

Balcony was joined together on top floor. Around the hotel, I did not want to venture after dark due to feeling a bit unsafe. Little bit steep streets.

Sehr gutes Hotel, immer wieder gerne!
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral und die meisten Zeile in Seattle sind fussläufig zu erreichen. Die Metro vom Flughafen hält direkt vor dem Hotel.

Das Frühstück ist sehr reichhaltig und qualitativ gut.

Ich habe das Hotel zweimal besucht, vor uns nach einer Kreuzfahrt nach Alaska, die Bewertung trifft für beide Aufenthalte zu.

Die Mitarbeitenden haben immer Zeit für Fragen, sind sehr zuvorkommen und freundlich. Die Wünsche werden sofort erfüllt. Auch bei einer schwierigen Station habe ich sofort Hilfe und Lösungen erhalten. Besser geht es nicht.

Cons:

Ich habe keine negativen Anmerkungen zu machen. Alles war Bestens.

Overall staff room and bar were very good with lots of nice touches like towel made into a polar bear shape
Pros:

Architecture of the hotel and Polar bar and overall hotel and rooms. Great historical decor

Cons:

The hotel itself has been at the location for over 100 years . Unfortunately the neighbourhood towards king st st action and pioneer square was a bit seedy.so we didn’t venture out at night

Stay here!
Pros:

Everything was great. Hotel lobby and room were clean. The staff were amazing. Every interaction we had with the front desk, valet and kitchen staff was pleasant. They were friendly, attentive and always asked if we needed anything. The free breakfast was great. We were impressed and will be staying here again. Can't wait to spend more time at the lobby bar next time!

Cons:

There wasn't a pool, which is usually a deal breaker for me. But definitely will make the exception again to stay at The Arctic Club Hotel.
