Hotel Review of the Grand Hyatt Seattle
Aug 6, 2010
I was tired when I reached this hotel after an arrival on the Victoria Clipper.
Check-in was easy and fast. The receptionist was warm and friendly. She told me
about dining options in the hotel and in the area and told me that they would be
happy to help me during my stay and seemed to genuinely mean it. I was very
pleased with my room which had a view of the harbor. It took me a long time to
locate the switch for the room darkening shades. They are electronic and the
book in the room simply says the switch is on the wall--but what wall? The
switch was behind the lamp on the bedside table with the radio.........after
leaving my bags I walked downstairs to find something to eat. There is a Ruth
Chris steak house that appeared to still be serving but the NY Deli was closing
up. I walked across the street to the mall and had dinner at an Italian place
there. It was very good but I do not recall name--il Fornio? The room was clean,
nice TV, free internet to Passport members, nice amenities in the bathroom with
deep soaking tub and separate shower, No complaints. There were magazines in the
room to read which I appreciated. Breakfast in the Club Lounge the next morning
was disappointing. I had eaten breakfast in Marriott concierge lounges most
every morning the week before and had been pleased. Breakfast here was very
skimpy--three or four choices of cold cereal, some pastries, smoked salmon,
cheese and capers. Nothing hot except coffee. There were two choices of Greek
yogurt--honey or pomegranate. Check-out was easy. I used award points for the
stay so can't say much about value. I prefer this property to the Hyatt on Olive
and 8.

Stayed here one evening pre-cruise in June. I had contacted the hotel ahead of
time to make my request for a room with a view as it was a special trip. They
gave us the best room in our category as far as I could tell. It was a corner
room. Decorated lovely and we had the most spectacular view.
In addition every staff member we met was happy and friendly.
The hotel is in a great location as well. I would love to stay here again when
in Seattle

Very nice hotel. Rooms are large and beautiful. The Staff is very nice and
helpful. Located downtown Seattle, 2 minutes away from the Convention centre and
about 15 minutes walk to the famous Pike market. Plenty of restaurants,
entertainments and shopping around. I stay here every time I come in Seattle...

staff. Hotel is in a good location of Seattle too.
Would definitely stay here again

We only had the one night stay in Seattle as stop over on our 4 week US/Canada
holiday. As it was only for the night we thought we would treat ourselves to a
bit of luxury and so glad we booked the Hyatt.
From the moment you walk in to the place you are made to feel welcome. All of
our questions (which I am sure they have heard a thousand times before) were
answered to the full.
Our room on the 17th floor was one of the best hotel rooms we have stayed in.
Luxurious bathroom and a nice sitting area with a view. Our bedroom looked
straight down the street to Pike Place market and the bay. Our wifi was free so
maybe it makes a difference booking direct - not sure.
Almost cancelled our Amtrak booking for the next morning just to stay another
night or two in luxury.
Thank you to the Hyatt for making our short stay so memorable.

Well, I am writing this while drinking red wine so that may color my review, but
this hotel is freakin' awesome. On this second visit, we booked the Emerald
Suite after my return from a year in Iraq. We were checked into room 3015, the
highest and prettiest suite in the hotel. What can I say? It was the largest and
most comfortable suite we have stayed in at any hotel. The view of the Olympic
peninsula and the city were flawless and the bed was outstanding. The towels
could use some refreshing, but that is the only nit to pick. What a great hotel.

$160/night included taxes. Room was small but bathroom was large. Great
location. Wireless was not free. Deli next door to starbucks was good for
sandwiches. Took the train from the airport for $2.50 to Nordstrom and then
walked 2 blocks. Walked to Pikes Market and down by piers. Took a bus tour
around the city. Highly recommend. Driver gave a good tip to take the ferry for
$6.50 round trip to Bainbridge and good view of the city. Took the Amtrak train
to Portland. Nice ride.

We arrived early and they let us into our room right away. Awesome. THe hotel is
in a perfect location. Many places are within walking distance (Pikes Place,
City Center Pioneer Square) and if you rather take public transportation then
you are in luck because it is right by the light link, monorail busses etc. The
bathroom was massive and they had a nice tub. The hotel restaurant has a
delicious homemade granola and yogurt for breakfast that I would recommend.

Two adults and three children stayed in adjoining rooms. Got $98 price on
priceline for each room - great bargain! Spacious and elegant. Wonderful staff.
Close to sites.

This is a really high end hotel. One of the 2 best I've been to... EVER. Great
downtown location, clean lobby, large rooms, helpful staff, gorgeous view of the
Space Needle. Huge bathroom with phone extension, bath tub and a separate
shower. We got a great price Stayed for 1 night before going on an Alaska
cruise. The only complaint we had was no fridge in the room and our attempt to
use mini-bar fridge caused us to be repeatedly charged for mini-bar contents
about $5 for each item we supposedly used. Their bar has "weighted" shelves
which charge your account when you remove items from it and also when you add
them. so if you remove their bottle and then put it back you get charged for 2
:-) Their friendly customer service fixed this for us during checkout

The wife and I stayed here on the night before and the night after a cruise from
Seattle. On arriving the first night, , the bell svcs promptly took our bags,
and we had quite a few. They directed us to Lily at the front desk who was very
attentive and realized we were there to start our honeymoon, took EXCELLENT care
of us and even sent up a complimentary bottle of champagne. The room was
amazing. It was super clean, it had a great view of downtown Seattle, the
bathroom had a great tub and shower and also extremely clean. And the beds were
very relaxing.
On the night after the cruise, we were only able to book a 2 queen bed room at
the time of booking due to the hotel being booked. Somehow, between Lily working
her magic the first night, and the other young woman working hers the day we
arrived back, not only were we able to get a king bed, but we were able to check
in early after coming from a cruise.
You do pay for quality. But the extra attention to detail on both stays is worth
the extra money. The best example of that was the doorman? I am sure he
introduced himself but I am bad with names. He on the other hand, remembered us.
And i don't mean from the night before to the next day. I mean from the 1 minute
we spoke as we loaded our bags when we left for our cruise, he remembered us
when we pulled up a week later.
The hotel itself is great, but the service.... puts it over the top! |
