Hotel Review of the Hotel Monaco Seattle

As usual, my stay the the Kimpton hotel, this time Hotel Monaco in Seattle, was
excellent. The staff is great, friendly, very helpful, and the hotel itself is
luxurious and comfortable. Especially enjoy the free wine tasting each
afternoon, and comfortable beds. I recommend any Kimpton, and the Hotel Monaco
was a treat!

Absolutely the best service, location, and rooms!
We went for a quick getaway for our 16 year anniversary. The surprise bottle of
champagne and wine tasting were just a few of the amazing features of this
hotel! It seemed very family and pet friendly as well. I work for an airline and
we have stayed in many different types of hotels (price ranges) in our 16 years
together, and this is our favorite so far! I would recommend this to
everyone.....really!

I highly recommend the Hotel Monaco. The location is beyond amazing being so
close to everything you would want to get to in Seattle. The staff was great but
by far the best part was the food and restaurant service. My wife and I highly
recommend the hotel if you want a nice place to stay. It is expensive but every
dollar is worth it.

We live near Seattle, but stayed at Hotel Monaco to enjoy the Seafair Parade
without the hassle of traffic. Before we arrived I received a very helpful
e-mail from the hotel explaining the street closures for the parade and other
activities in the area to enjoy. We arrive early and weren't able to check in
yet but enjoyed complimentary Ice Tea, lemonade and popcorn in the beautiful
lobby and people watched. Close to shopping, Pioneer Square Staff and Pike Place
Market. Staff were very nice and helpful. The room was good sized with 2
comfortable queen beds. and a nice area to read. Extremely clean and nice linens
on the bed. We brought our dog and the hotel goes the extra mile for your pets.
I wondered why they asked how to spell her name when we checked in. They brought
up a duel food and water bowel with her name on it, a bottle of water and a bag
of doggie treats. The hotel will bring you a goldfish to keep you company inyour
room!!! They have complimentary wine reception in the everning from 5-6. We had
dinner in the hotel and family members enjoyed the halibut, pizza and burgers.
Wait staff wa excellent. They had a nice area reserved for hotel guests to watch
the parade so it was very relaxing. Slept soundly and ordered room service for
breakfast. Food was very good, but not very hot::(:(.
Check out was easy and accurate. We loved everything about our stay, except for
the $29 parking!!

I just got back from a three-day stay at the Hotel Monaco Seattle. The bed was
very comfortable; the suite was very spacious; the bathroom was very clean.
The morning after the first night of my stay, I was sitting at the desk in my
room and noticed a very foul odor. ( I had just showered, and all of my clothes
were freshly laundered, so it wasn't me.) As I explored, I discovered that the
smell was coming from the carpet and the upholstered chairs. One of the chairs
had a dark stain on the seat.
I don't have anything against pets or pet owners. But I do have a big complaint
when a hotel doesn't clean up and disinfect the room adequately after a guest
(canine or human) urinates and/or defecates on the carpet or furniture.
This was my fifth or sixth stay at this hotel. It will be my last.

You have a great point, while all Kimpton hotels are pet friendly, we follow
very strict guidelines about deep cleaning a guest room after a pet occupied
room checks out. We can not find any record of you notifiying the hotel or front
desk about your obvious displeasure with your guest room. Naturally we would
have immediately moved your room or had someone up to remedy the problem and
provide a comfortable solution for this situation. Please accept our sincere
apologies, had you shared this information with us during your stay we could
have I am sure, left you with a much more positive opinion of Kimpton Hotels.

It is pretty evident from the get go that the staff at this hotel want to make
your visit a memorable one. From check in to check out we were treated in a warm
and friendly manner with people going out of their way to cater to our every
need. That in itself makes me want to return.
The hotel is within walking distance to the Heart of the City. It is extremely
quiet considering the location. The rooms are spacious and super comfortable,
with well appointed large bathrooms. We noticed refillable bottles of shampoo
and soap, which indicated their efforts to minimize waste.
They offer complementary coffee and pastries in the morning in the main lobby.
In the evening they host a complementary wine tasting event which allows you to
mingle with other guests and share dining and/or shopping tips. Very pleasant.
The hotel restaurant is not outstanding but certainly adequate for a casual meal
or Happy Hour. We enjoyed our meal there but if you are looking for a gourmet
experience there are better choices close by.
We will certainly make this our regular Seattle hotel based on location, comfort
and service.

The Hotel Monaco is super clean and classy . . . without feeling pretentious.
The staff members are so friendly and normal. The location is great and within
walking distance to many sites, but also close to public transportation for
venturing further out.

Hotel Monaco is situated in a very vibrant and convenient location in Seattle.
We had a lovely. bright mini suite with lots of room and every amenity we
needed. The restaurant is also very good. The complimentary afternoon wine
reception is very welcome after the day's activities and the hotel offers
breakfast coupons or drink coupons good in the restaurant. We can't say enough
good things about this hotel!

We traveled to Seattle from Michigan to attend a wedding. We had many friends
and kids strewn about the hotel. From the very first moment that we were helped
from the taxi the stay was fantastic. Our luggage would not arrive until the
next day, we were a tad stressed and missed the complimentary wine hour. The
front desk folks gave us toothbrushes and cards to get some much needed and
appreciated wine! That got a rotten trip off to fun and laughs in the lobby!
What a lovely gesture. Our room was very cool and so was our gold fish, Hayden.
After shopping Pikes Market my friends and I returned with bouquets of flowers
for our rooms, the staff had vases delivered to our rooms in the blink of an
eye...we were astonished. We all commented to each other about how the staff
couldn't do enough for us! It was a remarkable stay at a really cool hotel.

We stayed at the Hotel Monaco over Fourth of July weekend. The staff was
friendly and helpful. The room was clean and decorated in a very funky style
that I would never in a million years copy for my own home, but was a fun
departure from boring for the weekend. The hotel was centrally located downtown,
quite close to the Market and the ferry terminals. It was a great value and we
would definitely stay there again. |
