Hotel Review of the Crowne Plaza Hotel Seattle
Aug 13, 2010
I enjoyed this hotel which I visited for an unusually long 6 night stay in
association with a meeting. Yes it was somewhat dated but the room was fine with
a good view from 27 Floor. Clean spacious and everything worked. Situation wise,
it was a 40$ cab fare from the airport (although the light rail is only two
blocks away) and an easy walk from the harbour front, Pike Street market and
Space Needle. Parking would have been an issue as it is limited and very
expensive.
Ate breakfast buffet once and it was substantial with good coffee and only 10$
for a priority club member. Similarly, lunches and bar meals reasonable as was
alcohol within the nightly happy hour. Gym was small but reasonably well
equipped with modern equipment. No pool though.
Man gripes ? The lifts were not really up to the task with a lot of waiting at
peak times and also many large groups of tourists often cluttering the lobby.
Internet would have been expensive but was free in meeting room and there are
many local branches of Starbucks/ other sites with free WiFi you can use.

I'd like to separate my evaluation into three sections:
1. The staff - very polite and friendly. Good service
2. The room - in general - the rooms are indeed old and therefore quite
yellowed. But the equipment is okay, bed king size, flat screen TV, bathroom
functional and neat.
Special - I cannot recommend room 1058 - it's near the elevator. You can hear
the growling of the machines the whole day and night!
3. Environment/infrastructure - The bar in second floor is quite good. Good beer
on tab, the menu is okay. Prizes okay.

I don't know that I would have stayed here if I had to pay for it. we stayed for
thrree nights on reward points, and when I thought about what it would have cost
in real currency, I realized it would cover about half my monthly mortgage.
Having said that, if you can afford it then I would certainly recommend it.
Everything you want to be good in a hotel is good here. And the location is
perfect for venturing out and seeing what Seattle has to offer.

Stayed on the 30th floor overlooking Puget Sound and the Space Needle.
Incredible views. Great hotel but almost too big to be comfortable and of the 5
employees with whom I spoke only one understood English well enough to be
functional. Otherwise a very good property.

Hotel was clean, rooms were nicely decorated, beds were comfortable. I wouldn't
pay the high prices the hotel charges for a vacation though. I was inside some
of the other downtown hotels, hotels that are similar in class to the Crowne
Plaza, and the other hotels were more modern and fresher looking. My biggest
compliant was the doors do not go all the way to the floor, so in the morning,
the hustle and bustle of the hallways will wake you well before you desire. Both
mornings I was awakened well before I intended by the housekeeping services in
other rooms surrounding mine.

The staff was helpful and friendly. We stayed on the Club Floor so were able to
enjoy the complimentary breakfast buffet. Decent offerings- bagels, fruit,
muffins, cereal and assorted beverages.

I was most impressed by the professional appearance, sincere concern for making
my stay as trouble/stress free as possible and the caring, "can do" attitude of
all the staff. Every member of the staff, starting with the desk personnel,
housekeeping, room service to concierge was genuinely dedicated to customer
care. I will definitely stay again and recommend this hotel to others. Also,
views of the city skyline were beautiful. Thank you for a job well done!!

The CP has been here for a long time. You can tell the age of the hotel just by
the size of the elevators - small. Still they are centrally located in downtown
and the owners have made an effort to remain current by updating the decor,
adding computer desks and the like. Don't look for swank new bathrooms - it's
still a basic shelf-style sink and a bath tub crammed in with a very noisy
toilet. But they've made an effort. The room was clean, and the staff friendly
and helpful. Being July accommodations in downtown were very limited and prices
were high. (My clients paid, but I think 2 nights was around $600.) If I had a
choice I would definitely not pay that much for this room, but they're weren't a
lot of options. By the way, there's not free internet here. (I hate that. It's
so old school to charge $10 a day for internet!)

My colleagues and I stayed at this hotel for business. It was in a great
location to work during the day and close enough to the downtown attractions for
evening entertainment...we were able to walk there. I booked my room through
Resorts Plus International so I received a better rate than my colleagues, but
we were all very happy with the cleanliness and friendly service this hotel
provided.

We got a great rate on travel zoo. I was here with eight guys for a bachelor
party and the place was fine. It's a little dated, not a five star location but
not five star prices either. The rooms were large and clean, the staff was great
and accommodating.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Crowne Plaza Downtown Seattle. Our room on the
30th floor was clean and comfortable, and had an excellent view of the Space
Needle and Puget Sound. Plus, the location was excellent--only a few blocks walk
from the ferries, Pike Place Market, and the nightlife of Capitol Hill.
The unbelievable thing is that all of this was had for the rate of $89.00, and
that included free parking.
I would stay here again without hesitation.

We stayed here one night for a girlfriend getaway. This was a very comfortable
hotel with all the luxuries expected at this star level. The beds were very
comfy and they had nice large bathrooms. The rooms were large as well. They had
in room coffeemaker, hairdryer. The location was up a huge hill. Don't even try
to walk to the market. We found the bus system stops one block away that takes
you to the market. It is free during the day\. Be sure to ask the driver which
stop to get off for the market. We went too far and had to walk back several
streets. The parking fee was $37 per day. Trying to park in Seattle is a
nightmare. Better to park at the hotel and take the bus or taxi. We nabbed a
great price on Hotwire. We were able to get 2 queen beds. We waited until 5 days
before we left and got a better price.

King sized bed with a sack of "sleep" supplies! We live in Victoria, BC and
arranged a "Clipper Vacation" - taking the Clipper from Victoria to Seattle. I'm
not sure which hotels are partnered with the Clipper. We stayed at the Crowne
Plaza. It was clean, up-to-date decor, friendly staff. The room was lovely - a
king sized bed, and we had the option of staying on a delegated "quiet floor".
There was a fitness room with good equipment, and also a "business room" with
two computers.
The only way this hotel could have been better would be if they had a pool.
(this is why i gave location & value only 4 out of 5 - If it had a pool,
everything would have been 5/5) I was really disappointed as I had brought a
swimsuit & was really looking forward to a relaxing swim. Other than that, yes,
it is a good hotel. |
