Hotel Review of the Paramount Hotel Seattle
Aug 8, 2010
Stayed at the Paramount Hotel in Seattle on the front and back end of an Alaskan
cruise. Hotel is extremely clean and quiet, and the staff is very helpful. Hotel
is a few blocks from the center of downtown and convenient to underground bus (1
block) and light rail station/monorail (2 blocks); easy walk (7 blocks) to Pike
Place Market.

Just came back and loved this hotel. Newly renovated rooms with high-end
fixtures. The rooms were quite stunning. I believe we had a basic room with 2
queen beds and it was really lovely. Nice little bar fridge, very comfy beds
with white duvets (I hate hotel bedspreads!). Location was amazing with 2 movie
theatres (our bellman went down and printed off the movie listings from their
computer and brought them back to our room) and markets easily walkable. The
Dragonfish Sushi is right in the hotel downstairs. It was fantastic and has
great deals and specials. I had Sake for $1. Check their website.

Spent one night in Seattle with my family, coming back from Olympic NP. Hotel
was in a good location, just on the edge of the Downtown section, but close
enough to walk anywhere. Shopping mall and movie theater just one block away.
Pikes Market, waterfront, etc, all within blocks. Front desk personnel were
friendly. Room was small but nicely decorated and clean. Beds were soft and
comfy. Parking in garage under hotel and cost $27 a day. We had a late night
flight after checking out and hotel allowed us to keep the car parked in their
garage until that evening with no extra charges.

We really enjoyed our stay. The only concern we had was that the front desk
staff was either great or barely okay, depending on who you got that day.
However, we figured out who was great and made sure to only talk to them. The
staff helped us find a tattoo place, even bringing out hotel workers to show us
their tattoos and make recommendations. Not the usual guest request, but we did
leave with our first tattoos. The room wasn't fancy or exceptionally large, but
it was just fine for our needs.

Stayed at the Paramount Hotel for a business event in Seattle. Found the hotel
very well located, decent staff, and clean and good looking rooms. My stay was
going very well until I saw the parking bill. I stayed for one night and the
parking bill was $24 / night. RIP OFF.
If you visit Seattle this hotel is decent. But watch out for the parking. You
can park on the street for much less.

I am writing this review from my room at the Paramount, actually, and I have
been very pleased with the hotel during my stay this week. The location is
within a reasonable walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and the Pike
Place Market (if you pack the proper shoes!). The neighborhood feels comfortable
and safe to me, which is important as a female traveling alone. The lobby is
warm and cozy with couches and a fireplace. The room is well-appointed with
contemporary furnishings and a comfortable bed. There's a big TV, a sleek marble
bathroom, a small closet, and a large desk in the room. I stayed at the Warwick
on my previous trip, and I've found the Paramount so much more to my liking. I
will absolutely stay here again if given the option. And I've already
recommended it to my fellow coworkers for their future trips to our corporate
HQ.
Things I don't love about the Paramount:
The view isn't much --- the rooms look toward other high-rise buildings. The
pillows are all really firm. The don't match the soft coziness of the bedding or
mattress. They're like cuddling up with couch cushions. It would be nice to have
an in-room microwave. There IS a mini-fridge, but no microwave if you want to
use that mini-fridge to store leftovers. Your only option for room service
(aside from breakfast) is overpriced -- tasty, but overpriced -- Asian cuisine
from Dragonfish. The room service order-taker and delivery person were both very
nice and professional, but it would be wonderful to have a wider range of menu
options to select from.

I am reviewing late because I wanted to try out other hotels in the Seattle area
before I commented. The first thing I noticed about the Paramount Hotel was the
valet parking attendant. He was sloppy and rude. When I got my car back, the
seat was way back and the radio was on a hip hop station. At least turn the
radio off and put the seat back to somewhat the original location. The second
thing I noticed was this hotel is not elegant. The fitness area is tiny and
windowless. Its like working out in a closet. The rooms were OK, they were
clean, nothing special about them. The front desk staff were hit and miss. We
stayed two nights and three days. Some staff were helpful others could care less
that we were standing in front of them. After staying here and at other hotels,
I recommend you stay somewhere else. We loved Hotel 1000 and if you want
Excellent service from the time you exit your car, great food, a mind-blowing
room and the best service (I have ever had) take your self and money over there.
There is no comparison.

The hotel since I last stayed had gone through a nice renovation. But the
service I got from the staff at different times of the day was like day and
night. During the morning Tom is more than willing to the extra mile to make
sure you ready for your travels around the city, Jerry who works at the front
desk also very helpful, nice and courteous. I will admit I made alot of requests
and each time he was more than obliged to make sure it was taken care of. Lolita
was great as well.
Now on to the bad, the other staff. The man who was working at the front desk
looked very gruff and mean, when I would ask something he made me feel like I
was putting him out. He also looked very unprofessional as he was unshaven and
failed to smile during my time there. The other fellow named Rich was very aloof
, didnt know anything and confusing. Restaurant staff was also very poor

The location makes walking to everything quite easy, also easy to catch numerous
busses nearby. Lots of restaurants within walking distance.
The room is smallish, yet comfortable. Not lots of storage space, but doable.
The front desk responded within minutes to request for hangers and to fix the
heater. Tom, the concierge, should become your best friend. He has info on
everything and how to get to it. We got suggestions on a daily basis and he
always steered us right. Ask for his newsletter, it has all the information you
will need and not in a glossy 50 page magazine.
You can catch the Gray Line bus to the airport 1 block away at the Hyatt. |
