Hotel Review of the Sixth Avenue Inn Seattle
Nov 28, 2009
We stayed here for one night before our cruise to Alaska. We have never been to
Seattle before and was surprised to see how expensive it was for a hotel room
here. We saw the Sixth Ave inn on a website and liked the price. We decided to
take a chance since it was for only one night. We were so pleasantly surprised!
The hotel was old but very clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful!!!
It was a great location also! We could the Space Needle from in front of the
hotel and it was walking distance to Pike Place and lots of shopping places. The
restaurant was wonderful for dinner!! Best pot roast and they have a chicken and
dumpling soup that is WONDERFUL! We will be staying here again for sure!

We have stayed in the Sixth Avenue Inn twice in the last 9 months.....since the
first time, the rooms have been updated and it is an improvement. We like the
location, close to shopping, the market, and our son's condo. We can walk
anywhere in Seattle. The restaurant serves a good, reasonable breakfast. It is a
no frills room, but very clean, and the beds are comfortable, the shower hot. We
travelled Europe last fall, and for in-city room this is as good as it gets for
the price. We will return, soon.

We booked 2 nights through this website, got $65/night + tax using a AAA
discount. You get what you pay for, it's a no frills, low bidget place. Front
desk staff was trying to help a large group when we checked in so they were a
bit overwhelmed but otherwise I had no issues with them. The windows in the
rooms appear to be single-paned so yes you will hear all the traffic noise
outside. There was only 1 thin blanket on the bed, so we asked for a second one.
The heating unit is old so it didn't work that great but it also wasn't that
cold at night. The bathroom vent was LOUD, but there was a second light in the
bathroom so I didn't need to hear the vent every time the light was on. The
bathtub is small and the showerhead was so low I had to bend over to wash my
hair. There was maybe 6 drawers and 6 hangers so plenty of room to put away our
clothes. No safe in the room but we didn't have a need for one. The iron looked
new/barely used and the full-size ironing board was nice to iron clothes.
Parking is $15/night and seemed secure enough, I never felt unsafe in the
neighborhood at night. There is a McDonald's right across the street and a
Starbucks 1 block over. We didn't eat in the restaurant since the breakfast
prices looked a bit high. Depending on how much walking you want to do, most
tourist attractions are within reach.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights with tour group and one night on our own
after cruise. The hotel is in a great location and we found staff very efficient
and helpful. although the room was quire basic it was very clean and
comfortable. The restaurant was very good and we enjoyed breakfast and dinner
there. Overall an excellent hotel. Hotel Review of the Sixth Avenue Inn Seattle

I found nothing to complain about during our three night stay. The rooms were
spacious, clean, and well maintained. The front desk personnel were very helpful
and seemed glad to do anything to make our stay pleasant. Prior to our arrival
the front desk had arranged a town car to pick us up at the Seattle Airport
which turned out to be another surprise bargain. The hotel even called us in
Texas to let us know that the car had been reserved and gave us a contact number
to call. When we were ready to leave for our cruise the desk again called a car
for us. We had a great three days in Seattle and our stay at the Sixth Avenue
Inn was all anyone could want at a price that was easily affordable. Hotel Review of the Sixth Avenue Inn Seattle

This is where our family always stay in Seattle (my Canadian relatives more
often than we do). It's not palatial, but the rooms are always clean, the beds
comfortable and the staff very friendly and efficient. Given it's location (10
minutes from the Pike Place market and close to the tram lines) it is a very
good deal for the price.

I stayed here with my 10-year-old daughter and we both loved it. Check-in was
easy. The room wasn't spectacular, and neither was the view of the gentlemen's
club parking lot, but for this price it was surprisingly clean and extremely
well-located. Whole Foods is a quick walk one direction, and Pike Place Market
the other. I connected to internet right away, which was cool. The bus back to
the airport picked us up right across the street. Couldn't have asked for better
deal.

Excellent value for money in downtown Seattle! Within walking distance from the
Greyhound terminal and the business district. Parking space also available.
Quality in-house restaurant, good breakfast, lounge with fireplace.
WiFi is only available in the lounge and restaurant.

This hotel was clean and cheap but was not what I expected . The employees
manning the desk out front were not helpful when we asked about some tourist
attractions. Some were very nice and friendly but others were not! This hotel
was not a good choice for us. It was booked for us by a tour company and we
would not stay there again. There was very little room in the bathroom for your
things. The water took forever to get hot. We did not try the exercise
equipment. On the upside ...it was at least clean and some of the help was nice
and friendly. Our room was next to the street and it was very noisy. If you need
quiet to sleep, this is not the place. The restaurant was nice enough but seemed
pretty pricey for what you got.

If you're looking for a cheap getaway to Seattle this is a good place to
consider. Very basic but very clean. Two blocks to Westlake Center, a few more
down to Pike Place Market. For $76.00 in the heart of the city on a Saturday
night, you can't beat this place. Staff was friendly, let us check in at 1:30 pm
as the room had just been cleaned. I will absolutely stay here again.

All of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The location is very
good - walking distance to Pike's Place market, Monorail, and Space Needle, as
well as some good restaurants. The beds were comfortable but the room overall
was rather shabby, with stained carpet and scuffs on the wall. The bath
contained the narrowest tub/shower I've ever encountered in this country, and
the "hot" water ranged from warm to occasionally cold - the temperature varied
during my shower. During the first morning's shower I discovered there was no
shower gel and almost no soap in the dispenser, so we hunted down the
housekeeping staff in the hall and asked her to refill them so my travelling
companion could take her shower. Again, this was done politely and cheerfully.
I was also surprised to learn of the fee for parking, although now I see that
info buried on the "amenities" page.
Overall, it's a great location and a decent night's sleep, so if you don't look
too closely at your surroundings it's OK. The next trip we would probably
inquire if the rooms had been refurbished, or consider another low-price chain
hotel in the area next time. My response to "would you recommend this hotel to a
friend" is a RELUCTANT "yes," with caveats.

Many things recommend the Sixth Avenue as a great place to stay. It's within
walking distance of great shopping and fine restaurants. The Metropolitan and
Thirteen Coins are a $5 taxi ride away. You can clearly see the Space Needle.
Housekeeping is efficient, friendly & accommodating. The beds are comfortable.
Free internet in the rooms. The staff in the Bar & Grill are friendly and
efficient. The food is reasonable and the portions are large. I stayed here for
medical reasons (3 weeks in December 2008 and 7 weeks in Feb-Mar-Apr 2009), and
everyone was so thoughtful and caring. I felt like part of the family. You can
spend 4X at the Westin or the Four Seasons or the Roosevelt, but if you're here
to see the sights, shop and enjoy fabulous meals at the many Seattle eateries,
don't waste your money on accommodations. Stay at the Sixth Avenue and eat at El
Gaucho's!

Avoid Room 325 as its window fronts to the restaurant A/C unit and you'll be
listening to it all night.
The in-house restaurant itself is good though. It's convenient and comfortable
with good traditional fare at a reasonable price.
If you need fancy or elegant, then head up the street to the "towers" and get
out you wallet. |
