Hotel Review of the Hampton Inn Downtown Seattle
August 28, 2011
Stayed here with friends and loved the location. The room was spacious and
clean. The weather was not very nice, but we enjoyed our stay. I would stay here
again.

While I would love to give the hotel a pass because of the construction, I am
hard-pressed to do so because of the 209.00 a night they were charging despite
the construction.
Check in was very straight forward, however the lobby is very very small because
of the on going construction and its basically a counter and a coffee machine
with a wall of plywood opposite.
I had a rental car and I was told to park down the street and basically the
parking lot of a retail complex, upon my return I made sure I had understood the
location properly to which I was told "as long as you are in a numbered spot you
are fine" which of course would have been useful when I asked the first time.
Aside from the trek down the street, the rooms were typical Hampton Inn,
The internet speed was excellent, and the bed was soft with the room being
clean.
You can't argue with the location as the Space Needle was 10 minutes down the
street; however aside from that there isn't too much around (especially in the
evening) to keep you busy if you happen to check in early evening.
Its not really downtown in the traditional downtown core sense of the word, but
that is another story all together.
The buffet breakfast was another victim of the construction blues;
It was served in what I assumed was a conference room, and the seating was very
limited with very little space to navigate returning to your table with a bowl
of cereal.
My understanding was it was a temporary location till construction was finished,
however certainly worth baring in mind as there few alternatives for breakfast
in the area.
I am sure once the construction is finished it will be more of a conventional
Hampton, however till it is you will have some issues staying there.

For the most part, we got precisely what we expected. Location was great, the
rooms was clean (although the decor was a bit dated), breakfast was not what we
expected due to renovations on the hotel breakfast area. Clearly the hotel is a
bit dated and that is being addressed through renovation. Overall, staff and
management are doing an excellent job managing their hotel operation during the
renovation and we were pleased with our stay. I look forward to visiting again
once renovation is complete.

The hotel has recently been renovated and everything is new. We especially liked
the shower: great water pressure, hand shower attachment, and all brand new. The
only weird thing is that there is no closet! In looking for a closet, I
accidentally opened the door to the adjoining room which means there's no
security between the rooms. No hangers, no iron as stated. As others have
pointed out, the layout is a little expansive as well -- the gym is on the other
side of the hotel -- a far walk involving multiple elevators. The gym itself has
no weights, only cardio so we didn't use it anyway and ran in the city. |
