Hotel Review of the Sixth Avenue Inn Seattle

From the moment we checked in, throughout our stay right till check out all the
staff provided smiles and cheery hellos. The room was comfortable and clean,
great value for the price. The location couldn't have been better for us, a
short walk to Pike Place Market an even shorter walk to the monorail and the
downtown core. Around the corner to Grayline for the airport shuttle. Couldn't
have asked for a better experience. This is certainly a place to shortlist if
you're looking to stay in Seattle.

great location, friendly staff, big rooms but if you are a light sleeper bring
earplugs. Creaking floors, thumping feet, neighbours tv, running fans and the
road noise ... Why don
T they have double glazing?
Very easy walk to most places including the conference centre and downtown.

My friends and I went to Seattle for the weekend and booked a cheap room through
a website that ended up being at the Sixth Avenue Inn. The location of the hotel
is great, we were originally going to stay somewhere near the space needle but
were glad that we choose this location instead.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food and service at the
bar/restaurant was great and the meals are value for money plus they do room
service.
The room itself was clean and comfortable. It's not the newest or most upmarket
hotel in town but it was a great base and place to sleep. I would recommend it
to other travellers looking for good, cheap accommodation in Seattle.

My husband and I stayed her on an extended weekend trip in October. It was
perfect for our needs. Walking distance to almost everywhere we wanted to go,
and if it wasn't walking distance, then it was just a few minutes to 3rd ave
where all of the buses ran. It was also across the street from an Airporter
stop, so we were able to easily get to and from the airport. The rooms were
clean and comfortable and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We never once
passed by the front desk on our way in without being greeted, or on our way out
without a "have a nice day". And we were in and out a lot! The front desk staff
was also very helpful with directions and recommendations on where to eat or
sites to see. We didn't use the internet in our room, but we did use the
computers in the lobby. It especially came in handy when it came time to print
our boarding passes for our trip home. We knew we wouldn't spend much time at
the hotel so we weren't looking to spend much money on one. But our time spent
there was always pleasant. If you're looking for an inexpensive hotel walking
distance to just about everything, we'd highly recommend this place. We're
planning to return to Seattle next summer, and we'll definitely be staying at
Sixth Avenue Inn again.
Oh one more thing. I remember reading negative reviews here first complaining
about the strip club across the street. But decided to take a chance and stay
here anyway. Our room faced the club and my husband didn't even realize it was
there until I pointed it out on our last night. There was no loud noise and with
our curtains closed there was no problem with the neon signs. And the club is
actually on the back side of the hotel, not in front, so you'd never even have
to walk passed the place. And the area was NOT "shady". In face, there was a
very upscale restaurant across the other street (can't remember the name right
now) with Lambos and Ferraris parked out front. Not your typical "shady
neighborhood" vehicle. I'm from the southside of Chicago. I know shady when I
see shady, and this area was not shady. So don't let the proximity to the club
discourage you. It really was not an issue AT ALL.

with a military discount (they also have AAA discounts), a double was less than
$60 with tax. Parking fee was explained and signed for at check in, so no
surprises there. the room has a minifridge and microwave, and wireless was easiy
accessed. it did go out once, but we just called the front desk and it was reset
within 15 minutes. there was no need to drive anywhere, but we like walking.
front desk was helpful with directions and finding a grocery store. we had view
of little darlings strip club from our room, but it was interesting people
watching and i never felt unsafe. i would come back to the hotel again.

I got a good last minute deal and had a nice clean room - nothing fancy, but
better than a Motel 6 or Super 8. Great location downtown, within walking
distance to department stores and 10 minutes to Pike Place Market. Very friendly
staff. However, both mornings I awoke to the sounds from the ceiling above me,
hearing footsteps and TV noises nearby. Seems like the building has a cheap
wooden construction with bad sound isolation. Without ear plugs, you cannot
sleep late, which is the main reason I went there in the first place...

We stayed at the 6th Avenue Inn for three nights when we were starting a road
trip from Seattle to Las Vegas. It's a fairly short walk from the coach station
which makes it cheap to get to from the airport and manageable even with a fair
amount of luggage. There are also some great bars a few streets away, although
it's a schlep to the main part of town (we only walked it a couple of times).
The room itself was large and reasonably clean, although the shower was not
exactly powerful. My one issue was with the staff - not particularly friendly or
helpful, took far too long to check us in (there were two staff on duty, neither
of whom paid us any attention for 15 minutes so we were stood like lemons while
they both appeared to be checking the computer for a while). No recommendations
about local places to go or eat - the small lobby has some leaflets but we were
looking for advice about a local restaurant. Ended up walking and finding
somewhere great anyway.
Fabulous trip and we'll go back to Seattle again - but we're not staying here.
Other places in the area offered much better service and nicer rooms for a
similar rate.

I was not sure just what to expect from this hotel. I had read great reviews and
not so great reviews. I was not disappointed. The hotel was very clean
throughout. Appeared to be new carpet, paint, etc. The hotel staff was
excellent, the on site restaurant and lounge were very nice and the breakfast
fantastic. Free WiFi that was excellent (wireless starting next week). Within
walking distance of everything I wanted to see. I had no issue with street noise
but I could see where this could be a problem as sound does seem to carry
through the windows very easily. The hotel is only 5 stories so you are not very
high above noise if it is there. Like I said it was not an issue for me. If you
are on a budget or just want to save your money for the great food in the city I
would highly recommend this hotel. All the old reviews I read regarding a worn
out facility were no longer valid from my experience. |
