Hotel Review of the W Hotel Seattle
Aug 8, 2010
Our experience started off with a room that smelled like dog poop. The way the
wanted to fix it was with air freshener. Called for room service several times,
made calls every time 45min - hour later to check if they were still coming. Not
a good experience with service. Hotel location is great and if you are coming
for a wedding, the coordinator and staff are wonderful. Nice hotel but very
over-rated

We stayed here for a week and got the room through Priceline's name your price
at a pretty decent rate. While I did not particularly care for the trendy look
of the common areas (when we arrived at night the lobby was really dark) and the
service was only barely friendly, the location is fantastic - a 10 minute walk
to the market and a block away from the light rail stop. Our room was quite
roomy and comfortable although the view was a bit ugly - not unexpected at our
bargain rate. Overall I was happy with this hotel, but not overwhelmed. I would
consider staying here again.

This hotel has everything, a perfect location in the heart of Seattle, fantastic
rooms, great views and very good service.
The atmosphere of this property is very special with chill out music on the
floors and a very cool and stylish interior.
If you stay there, check out lounge and have a few cocktails!
The only downside I've recognized are the high parking costs.

My wife and I enjoyed a 3 night escape to Seattle last month and had an
opportunity to try the W. We've stayed at almost all of the major hotels (and
some great B&B's) in Seattle and we looked forward to trying the W. As a loyal
TA user we had read the wide range of reviews and were keeping our fingers
crossed. We were not unhappy :)
To begin with the staff were all very keen to please. They were incredible
especially the concierge (Jay?) My one suggestion for all of Seattle's concierge
is to "Get outta the box" and try some local restaurants outside of downtown.
Seattle has an amazing culinary scene but it's not all downtown.
The hotel location is fabulous and as long as you like the "COOL' style they are
going for you will like it. Dark hallways took some getting used to and I never
did feel quite "Mod" enough but I wasn't uncomfortable. They offer towncar
service but not at night(?), There aren't any coffee makers in the rooms but
there are urns of Starbucks in the lobby in the AM and urns of lemon water in
the afternoon.
Our King room (1911?) was comfy although it smelled a lil stale on check in. The
housekeepers either need more time or a kick in the butt as there was a lot of
dust (look at the wine bottles) and the grout in the shower/tub could use a good
bleaching. I'd suggest that the housekeepers lie down in the tub and see what it
looks like under the taps. Don't get me wrong its not really dirty its just not
top notch. Towels and Robe (why just 1?) were really nice and the bed and
bedding were fabulous. The drapes are not black out.
I liked the touch of having a DVD player in the room but ours was flaky.
Maintenance was fast to respond to this issue when called. I also liked the
window seat.
Parking is the same nasty thing here as every hotel in Seattle. $37 a night.
Why? We parked right next door at the parking lot for $25 a day (still a lot!)
All in all we certainly had a nice enough stay with incredible staff (wonderful
concierge), a comfy room and a can't be beat location. We would happily return .

I stayed at the W in Seattle on my way to a business engagement and I couldn't
have made a better choice. I have travelled extensively for both business and
pleasure, but have never had a better or more luxurious experience than that of
the W. The room had a fantastic view of the city and Puget Sound, and it was
blissfully quiet. The bed was so comfortable and both my travelling companion
and I wanted to go shopping for one just like it for home. We ordered room
service (a very reasonably priced menu, considering) and the food was a great
selection of Northwest delecacies. The menu also included more traditional fare,
which my travelling companion appreciated. We highly recommend the sexy fries!
The hotel staff was unbelievably gracious and unobtrusive. I want to give a
special shout out to the guest services manager Brian Bunich. Brian was
attentive and anticipated our every need. We definitely felt as if we were a
guest in his home, and quite frankly we never wanted to leave.
The W hotel is a one-in-a-lifetime experience that I cannot recommend highly
enough. It's pricey, but no more so than any other hotel of it's calibur. But
considering what you get for your buck, it's a bargain. Stay at the W!

We stayed for a long weekend at the W. The service is fantastic the room is not
so much. The blinds are not covering the windows well. The bathrom has no fan
and the towel cvality is very poor. We went to the four seasons to visit some
friends yes they payed more , but not that much more for an amazing room and
great quality hotel. I will not saty at the W again sorry there are to many
better hotels in Seattle

I won't ever stay at a W hotel again. Not even for free! The place is a downer.
Dark hallways, dark carpet, subdued lighting, dull rooms. If I wanted to stay in
a funeral home I would just die. Across the street is a nice hotel for about the
same price as the W. (The Olympic) The staff is nice, but they can't make up for
the "dead zone" décor.
Maybe the Goth crowd will keep this hotel alive; or maybe the vampires will find
it a peaceful place to camp out when the sun is shining.

Anthony checked us in -- very friendly, helpful, and thorough -- took care of us
so we could be on our way. Our room was quiet, spacious, and full of wonderful
amenities -- Bliss Spa products, super soft towels and robe, and super comfy
bedding -- exceeded our expectations and experience. The W was a real treat at
the end of a long day of travel!
Other pluses ... The W is just a short walk from the waterfront (ferries,
restaurants, aquarium) and Pike Place. The hotel also teamed up with Acura to
provide complimentary rides to nearby spots -- check out the new MDX (without
the pressure!) and get a nice ride too!
We'd stay here again. There was just one minus -- the fan on the A/C seemed to
be on all night -- not sure if the thermostat was malfunctioning or if we just
missed a setting

Some things were very nice-some horrible. I think the valet doing a walk around
to mark all the dents and scratches on your vehicle so that you don't accuse
them of damage to the car should happen after they have assisted you with your
bags-not instead of helping. Check in was quick. We were upgraded to a higher
floor-gratis. The room was comfortable and clean. Then we went to the
restaurant-during brunch hours. The menu was very limited-and horribly
overpriced. I ordered the chefs special. $14 for 3 small pancakes. They were not
cooked! My husband ordered a basic sausage, egg, potatoes-which I believe was
$18. The potatoes and toast were black. The waitress never returned to the table
to check on us. When she did finally come back we told her of our displeasure
and they took off one meal. We would NOT recommend this restaurant. The hotel
has a great location. Parking is now $44 per night. I did get a great rate for
the hotel. We would stay again-but eat elsewhere. |
