Nothing real fancy but what you would expect from the Holiday Inn. There is a
lounge attached to the hotel so good for an evening cocktail. Parking is tight
but fairly close to everything

This hotel was perfectly clean and beds were comfortable. Staff was helpful and
friendly. However, the location is literally steps from a huge busy highway with
barracades separating the hotel from the walk to the Space Needle. So, be
prepared to walk a couple of extra blocks to get around the barracaded highway.
Also, the room was designed with the sink area out in the room - separate from
the bathroom. This was awkward, and just plain yucky-- unless you are staying
alone.

Always first class service at this hotel. The location is convenient to downtown
Seattle. The beds are comfortable and clean. If you turn the fan on on the air
conditioner, you get white noise so that you cannot hear the traffic on Aurora.
The one downside is the flow restrictors in the sinks. Sometimes it takes 5
minutes to get hot water and then it isn't much. The shower is fine though.

Stayed here on holiday. Location is good for space needle but not so good for
downtown Seattle (still only 20minute ish walk to tourist attractions). Front
deak very helpful. Two computers to use and free printing. Good breakfast in the
morning and very spacious room.

Visited Seattle from 06-5-10 to 06-08-10. The location of the hotel to Seattle
Center and downtown was perfect. It is a short five minute walk to Seattle
Center for the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center and the monorail. I have no
complaints about the hotel. We had no trouble with the hotel being noisy, but we
were no facing the street. The breakfast in the morning was perfect way to start
your day. There is a Whole Foods Market within walking distance. If I were in
Seattle again I would stay at the Holiday Inn Express City Center.

Arrived late after intercontinental flight-were offered only Space Needle view
room-although asked for "quiet room".
Did not sleep allnight due to 8 lane highway -asked for another room next
morning-worked out only to find out that room to the yard has the effect of a
sound funnel - kids very loud outside in the middle of the night, garbage pickup
early in the morning almost made us fall out of bed!
Breakfast is tacky -the food tastes like the plates: "plastic".
Room otherwise pretty nice- but still:
Cannot recommend this hotel at all.

We stayed in this hotel with our 2 young children (2 and 5). I was looking for a
hotel in DT Seattle with free breakfast, a pool and under $150. This one has all
of that + free wireless internet. It was all I expect from a quality "budget"
hotel: clean no-frills rooms and good service.
The pool was warm but the adjoining weight room (where the washrooms are) is
freezing and you need your key to get back to the pool! don't get locked out
like we did... And I wish the shallow end were shallow (it's 4 feet), this one's
not little kids-friendly.
The breakfast (which is included) is basic but plentiful and the service staff
is excellent.
Parking is $10 a night which I think is excessive. Really, who walks to that
hotel? it's a bit of a way to grab extra cash while posting a lower nightly
rate.
Overall a pleasant stay for us. We will use that hotel again.

Who: young couple with a 10 month old baby
When: March 2010
Pros:
The room was spacious, clean and stocked with goodies.
GREAT continental breakfast (they even had scrambled eggs!)
In the The Emerald Green restaurant food was average, but it was quiet, cozy &
very baby friendly.
Pool & excercise room.
Location very close to downtown & Seattle Needle.
Cons:
Location area was a bit sketchy, especially in the evening.
Hotel is outdated.
We had the slowest coffee maker I've ever seen in my life.
Would we come back?
Yes

The stay was good except for the mixture of smoking and non smoking on the same
floor. I could have lived without waking up to the smell of cigarette smoke
coming from another room on the same floor.

Reasons for staying at the HI Express: (1) our friends were staying at the
regular Holiday Inn across the lane but we opted for the HI Express instead
because they had a pool for the kids. (2) It's close to the Space Needle/Seattle
Center where we were going on one of our two days in town. (3) Breakfast is
included with the hotel price, (4) parking is only $10/night and (5) there's
free Internet. Finally, (6) the staff were great. The downsides are: (1) the
pool is tiny (but the kids didn't care). (2) It's right beside Hwy 101 so not a
scenic location. (3) Strange room layout for "2 Queen Beds" room -- the bathroom
sink is in the main entryway rather than in the bathroom. Recommended as a
quick, no-frills stay for families with young kids.

This hotel is within walking distance to the Space Needle area and the Key
Arena. It is attached to a Holiday Inn. It has underground parking for only $10
a night. The staff was great. We were there for a concert and the hotel offered
a shuttle for $5 per person to the Key Arena. The Hotel next to the Holiday Inn
had wonderful food and great happy hour prices. Will stay here again for sure.
The traffic noise was somewhat noticeable, but slept great and hardly noticed
it. They have a great free breakfast in the morning with tasty cinnamon rolls
and lots of great food options.

The room (with no view) We stayed three nights here. The view and location isn't
that good, but the decor and size of the room is good. We chose the hotel
because of the cheap parking and we would be able to walk into the center. I
think the hotel is good value. The breakfast is also fine - better compared to
many motels.

I don't know if this is good value for money because I paid for it with
priceline - but I want to recommend this place. The only downside of this place
is the roar of traffic from Aurora St - so bring earplugs. Otherwise it is a
decent place with a great staff. |
