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.

В целом цена соответствует месту.
Pros:

Архитектура, история места, прекрасный интерьер, очень приветливый и профессиональный персонал на ресепшене

Cons:

Уборка номера была не очень качественная. После жильцов которые были до нас остался носок, плюс на полу была найдена металлическая скрепка , а с 2-х летним ребёнком это может быть опасно. Кондиционер и он же обогреватель очень шумные, уверен что если летом в жару или зимой в холод кондиционер включить на ночь , то сна не будет

We stayed at Arctic Club so we could watch the Yankees play at the Mariners, we picked this hotel because of the history
Pros:

The Arctic Club is more like a boutique than a cookie-cutter chain. The hotel is in a convenience location with access to the link right outside the hotel that connects to the airport. The breakfast was awesome and the staff is nice.

Cons:

The drinks at the bar were kinda pricey, especially when we were there during happy hour and none of the drinks we were having were discounted. I also never found a vending machine to grab a bottle of water. However (not intended on transitioning to a positive in the section of things that I didn’t like), I found out on the last day that Seattle has awesome water, and one of the few places that I could drink it right out of the spigot.
