Hotel Review of the Holiday Inn Seattle

Mar 1, 2010
I wanted to stay in a hotel close to the Space Needle and relatively close to the city.
This hotel exceeded expectations, even the parking was priced reasonably.
My room was huge, very clean and had free internet.
The staff answered many questions, check in and out was effortless.
I was sorry to leave.

We took a short trip to Seattle for a getaway and since this was a bit last minute and trying to stick to a budget we went to a chain hotel. Overall experience was pretty good. The hotel is in a good location, the staff is very friendly and attentive, the services available at the hotel are great and available mostly 24 hours a day (internet, coffee, tea, stamps, vending machines, laundry room, lounge, etc), it's pretty close to most public transit too.

We arrived via bus into Seattle right into the downtown. The hotel is very close to the Space Needle so we decided to take the monorail to the Space Needle (1mile) and walk to the hotel. It was a couple of blocks away and overall an easy walk. This also helped us get a lay of the land.

So besides the issues I had with Bank of America and their credit card service department (that's a whole different article) there were no issues with check in. The staff was EXTREMELY helpful as I struggled with VISA (I forgot AMEX at home) and getting them to allow a charge. The younger gentleman at the front desk was actually supposed to go home and requested someone else finish our check in, but he decided to stay and make sure we got checked in ok. Very nice.

Once checked in, the room was decent sized, comfortable, clean and very fresh smelling. There was a nice touch with a popcorn bag, and some warm drinks available in the room. We got the 6th floor suite, which comes with some additional amenities and access to the lounge and business center. The bathroom was very clean and spacious which is greatly appreciated. The hotel is up to date and modern and very intuitive.

Our stay was good, the bed was clean and comfortable, we really had no issues during our stay. The business lounge was very useful. The computer access is fast, reliable and with printer options. It has full MS Office and PC applications which are helpful. The continental breakfast is just that. Boiled eggs, toast, jams, bagels, cereals, oatmeal, fruit, etc. it's good and decent for making a good start on the day.

The hotel has lots of helpful little amenities. Downstairs also has a business center for use. Magazines of local stuff and available loner umbrellas for people like us who forget to bring one to Seattle. The fitness center is basic and adequate for most exercise routines, i feel.
The hotel also has a restaurant that we didn't end up trying that does room service as well.

I stayed here with family for 2 nights when we landed in Seattle. The hotel lobby was nice, the staff that dealt with us were very friendly and helpful as well. The room was clean when we walked in, everything was good. When we asked questions in regards to renting vehicles and getting around Seattle teh staff were very helpful.

On our last night we were woken up at 2:30am because there was a party going on right above us and it sounded like they were dragging furniture and picking them up and dropping them on the floor. We called Front Desk and the guests in that room was taken care of within 30 minutes (We later find out in the morning they were escorted out).

Waking up that same morning we saw an envelope under our door and it was an apology from the staff about last night's debacle so they gave us a $20 voucher breakfast at the Emerald Grill which we thought was a nice gesture. They had the cab ready for us ahead of time as we had to leave for the Amtrak station at 6:45am.

So all in all it was a good experience minus the debacle from other guests. It was relatively close to the Space Needle, and rental car companies were within 5 blocks away, so it was pretty easy to get around for us.

I stayed here for 3 nights; I was given a quiet room upon my request at check-in and was pleased with the room. It had a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and a sink. The gym had some outdated cardio machines, so I didn't use this gym and instead used the 24 Hr Fitness about a mile away. The room was clean. The business center has 2 computers for free use (with very slow internet service).

The hotel itself is near the Space Needle and Seattle Center (a 10 min walk, max)- if you are planning to spend a lot of time there, then this is a good location. It is also not that far from South Lake Union (a 15-20 min walk). I didn't spend a lot of time at either of these places, so I usually walked to Pike's Market/Downtown, which was about a mile walk- it wasn't raining, so I enjoyed the walk, but if it had been, I would have been spending more time on the bus. The hotel is not in the " free ride area" that the buses have during the day, so if you do plan to use the bus, then it is about a 3+ block walk to the closest stop at 6th Avenue or Battery (I am guessing on this, as I never used this) There is a nearby bus stop for other buses within a minute walk by the hotel, like the bus to Fremont.

While I would recommend this hotel to a friend, I am not sure I would personally go back to this particular hotel, only due to the location in relation to my points of interest.

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. Room was clean but typical. Nothing extra. No breakfast included. There is a restaurant on site, food rather bland.
We could hear a lot of traffic noise all the time. Also people walking above you. $10 a night parking was good.

My husband and I came back to Seattle for the second year in a row following a wonderful visit last year. During last year's stay, we lodged at the Holiday Inn Express that sits next to Holiday Inn, so we are very familiar with the area. This year, the area felt different. I don't know if it was because I am comfortable with the area, but it didn't feel sketchy like it did last year. There were plenty of professionals and vacationers walking around. I felt completely safe. Mostly, we crossed Denny Way, passed the awesome Pink Elephant car wash, and walked down Bell to get to the Market and everything else.
The room was very clean and comfortable. The front desk was super friendly and helpful holding our bags so we could go downtown while we waited for our room to become available. The cab fare seemed more expensive this year from the airport, so we may consider alternative transportation next time getting to the hotel.
If you are looking for breakfast options, I recommend Top Pot Donuts, located on 5th street. Fresh donuts, good coffee, in a great cafe environment. We went almost every morning of the 4 days we spent in the city.
I highly recommend the HI. It's 1 mile from Pike Place Market, 2 from the baseball and football stadiums. The walking will help you work off the donuts!

Booked the King Bunk Bed kids suite for a 3 night visit to Seattle. Room was very good. Clean and to the standard you would have expected of a big hotel chain
This separates the kids in to a room of their own, with TV etc, but within the main room. It’s a good idea, giving both parties a little bit of freedom and privacy.
The only problem we had was the TV in the kids room didn’t work properly and when it did, it only showed adult programmes. After a couple of calls to maintenance and the front desk over the next 24 hrs the TV was replaced and the content restrictions for the kids TV was removed. Ironically the restriction removed the only channels the kids watched, Disney and the Cartoons.
A good bonus was, depending on your deal, the fact that kids eat free for breakfast and the evening meal should you choose to dine in the hotel restaurant. We did two nights and the food was not bad although the choice was a little limited.
The Hotel is in a good location, 5 mins walk from the Space needle, Sci-Fi museum and the Music museum. We even walked to Pike place market in 25 min. I would stay there again as its good value and a good location with secure parking ($10 which is very good for Seattle). Yes and the lifts/elevators are very slow which was the source of some amusement to us but frustrating to other we met.

It was very good experience, we stayed there for a week and staff there had been very helpful and courteous. Services were excellent and cleanliness was superb.
Since this was our first visit to USA, hotel staff was good in supporting us by helping in getting transport, other facilities and guiding how to go about.
One of the front desk manager helped in getting our hotel booked for New York and promptly gave all documents while we were away for conference..
Keep it up!!

Booked the Holiday Inn in advance for just the night before coming home from Seattle. Booked a kids suite on the executive floor as it provides access to the club lounge and you get breakfast.
Arrival was good and efficient and they recognised the platinum card but did not offer or provide any benefits.
Room was freezing and very cramped thought eh kids loved the bunk beds.
There was a microwave sink and coffee maker but no almost no wardrobe space.
We had arrived late and did not explore. The following day we had breakfast in the lounge and were the only guests.
We were due to leave for London at 7pm and so requested a late check out. 3pm was all we wanted and given the platinum status thought it would be simple. Not a bit of it. They have no staff post 12.30 and so no late checkout was allowed. As a result we packed up and left our stuff in the car while we had a look around Seattle.

The Hotel was nice and seemed fairly new or newly remodelled. I was staying at this hotel at the recommendation of the group I was with. The price was negotiated via the group and was average IMO. I debated on staying somewhere else for a cheaper rate but decided against it as I would have to drive to this hotel to meet up with everyone else.

The location is A+, very close to downtown a cheap cab ride into the city or most other places downtown. You can walk to Whole foods market or a number of restaurants are within 15-20 min walk or drive. It is also a few blocks away from the space needle.

The hotel is across the street from a nice park (more about that park later) and within a few steps of a restaurant that serves pretty good food and has a bar as well. The room was clean as well as hallways and exterior grounds. There are 2 elevators that serve the hotel and parking areas, however one elevator is VERY slow and the other one is always packed with people.

Parking is underground and I believe was an extra $10.00 a day, I thought about not paying the $10/day to park on the street. Needless to say after it started to get dark I realized I better pony up the $10 bucks or I might be calling the rental car company to tell them the car is stolen.

5 star clean ever corner is clean. ALL employee of the Holiday Inn Seattle 211 Dexter Ave. North, Seattle, Wa 98109 . Was very helpful and friendly. The room was peaceful and comfortable.
The restaurant next door was clean. and the food good. The bus service in Seattle was quick and easy to use. The desk courts help us fined the right bus to catch. We want to a boat show at Qwest Center to China town for dinner back to the Holiday Inn on the Seattle bus system. Get off and on when we want. The Holiday in location was great for coming and going.
