Hotel Review of the Travelodge Space Needle
Nov 10, 2009
I stayed at the hotel for it closeness to the concert. I was willing to pay for
the parking fee until I came home and saw that there were no spaces open and had
to walk three blocks away. Only to have to wake up at seven to move my car even
farther to pay for more parking. It seems they did not count how many spots and
tickets were sold.
The room was so small for being one with two beds. One bed was only one foot
away from the bathroom door!!! The toilet would not flush all the time and when
we called the front desk we had they say it was ok.
Everything that needed to work did not. It was loud and it was smelly. Never
will I stay here and would rather spend the extra 30 dollars to stay else.

This hotel has been recently refurbished and was better than we were expecting.
It wasn't cheap but it was one of the cheapest we could find in central Seattle.
The rooms are fairly standard - 2 queen beds, fridge, TV, small shower room etc.
However, parking was cheaper than most other hotels I looked at and although
they say it is limited, there is actually quite a lot.
It's an easy walk to the Space Needle and the complimentary breakfast was more
than adequate. Hotel Review of the Travelodge Space Needle

Having read some of the previous reviews of this Travelodge my wife and I
approached it with some reservations.
Our room had recently been refurbished and had the largest and most comfortable
bed we had ever slept in, in hotels or at home!
The reception staff were helpful and polite, and we didn't have to ask for the
$10 parking permit.
The complimentary breakfast was just fine.
For all but Americans (who don't seem to like walking) the motel's position
suited us perfectly. We walked into downtown in about 15 minutes (at no great
pace), with another 5 - 10 minutes to Pike Place Market (depending on how many
shop windows we looked in on the way). It was possible to walk to the waterfront
of Lake Union in 10 minutes.
There was a lot of building work in the vicinity of the motel, but this didn't
give us a problem - any noise stopped at night.
We would love to go back to Seattle, which we enjoyed very much, and would go
straight back to this Travelodge.

As a youngster, staying at this Travelodge on family vacations was a real treat.
I can still recall The Space Needle under construction during one of our visits.
Flash forward to the present and this baby boomer checked in at the main desk of
one of Seattle's venerable motor lodges. I was greeted by two smiling clerks.
Informing them that my last stay was in 1979, I was given a Seattle street map
to get me up to speed. Thanks again, guys.
My compliments to the persons in charge of interior decor. Throughout the hotel,
from the elevator entrances to the hallways, are framed prints of works from
Salvador Dali and Jackson Pollock among other artists. My room was spotless and
there were plenty of fluffy towels in the bathroom, including a hairdryer. The
bed was comfortable and not too soft, either.
I would start my day with a complimentary USA Today and walk a few steps past
the lobby to the buffet room with a free hot breakfast waiting. Their waffles
are perfect and they know how to make a great cup of coffee, too.
The only glitch throughout the whole stay was momentary when the toilet lever in
my room suddenly wouldn't flush. I called the front desk and the courteous young
man replied, "Ooooo, that's not good. Someone will be up in a few minutes to fix
it." Within 5 minutes, there was the hotel plumber at my door with a smile on
his face and the problem was solved. Housekeeping deserves applause, too, for
their polite and cheery way they greet guests.
Centrally located, this Travelodge is just a 10-15 min. walk to the heart of
downtown. Taking the monorail cuts that timeframe in half. I took advantage of
both modes of travel. At the end of the day, I looked forward to relaxing back
in my room on the fourth floor.

When we first got there it seemed like a decent place to stay, friendly gal at
the front desk (I only saw her once). The beds were very comfortable for a hotel
and we were having a peaceful rest until about 2:30 AM when we were woken up by
several drunk 20-something men pounding on our door and screaming at each other.
I looked out of the peep-hole and saw a guy completely passed out on the floor
in front of our door... About 1 minute later his friend (drunk as well) was
laughing and trying to pull him up off the ground. Then, we heard them go inside
their room next to ours and got to enjoy hearing one of them puking in the
toilet for 5 minutes.
I called down to the front desk and they said they would send someone up to
check on it and about a good 10 minutes later we got a phone call from the staff
that they heard people "talking a little loudy" but "nothing out of the
ordinary". There were at least two cameras in the hallway and they didn't see
what was going on? We had an 11 year old little girl with us who was beyond
frightened at all of this.
Aside from that, every time we asked for something from the front desk, the
gentleman acted rude and put-out. Definitely not worth the $200 we paid for two
nights!
On the upside, the breakfast was good and the room was pretty clean

I stayed here for four weekday nights on a business trip because it was the
cheapest hotel near downtown Seattle.
Pros:
-- A 10 minute walk to the heart of downtown.
-- Great 24-hour coffee in the lobby and a continental breakfast with good
selection including waffles.
-- Free wireless internet. Ask if you can get a room close to the router for the
strongest signal.
-- My king bed was extremely downy, clean, and comfortable, with lots of plump
pillows.
-- The rooms do look like they've had a low-budget remodel, with new chairs,
paint, and finishing's.
It was pretty much what I expected for the price. No reason to stay near the
Space Needle if you're a tourist, unless you're in love with it or something.
It's a little north of "real" downtown.

we have stayed here several times in the past. it's an ok hotel with decent
rooms and a good breakfast. was somewhat upset by a new (1/09 so they said) $10
per day parking fee. reserved on the travelodge.com site so no mention was made
of the parking fee (seems like they could get their website to include things
like that). don't like extra fees that aren't included in the quoted reservation
price. so, stay here but beware.
