Hotel Review of the Best Western Plus Executive Inn Seattle
June 16, 2011
overall this hotel is nice. i had a king suite that was nice and bed was
comfortable. very clean. across the street from the space needle and monorail.
easy to go downtown via monorail or 15-20 minute walk. some coffee shops/food
close by. walgreens a block or so away. capital hill or u-district requires a
cab, but we just went downtown and then traveled from there by cab or bus. staff
seemed a bit rushed and somewhat short, but overall fine-i really didn't need
them for much beyond check-in/out. last year they were very helpful though.
also-the Vancouver shuttle picks up/drops off here so if you are taking that it
is very convenient. no complaints-if you're doing the tourist thing, this would
be nice.

While I did sleep well and the bed was comfortable enough, there were problems
in the room such as the phone not working so I could communicate with the front
desk, the light above the sink blew out as soon I as need to use it to put on my
make up. The room has a damp, musty smell. Toilet flushes like it belongs inside
an airplane which wakes those who are sleeping if you use it in the middle of
the night. The windows are single-pane--thin from decades ago and you can hear
noise from outside as if the windows were wide open. The ceilings in very low
which gives it a very closed-in feeling as you navigate the hallways.
Pluses:
The price is right--cheaper than most of the hotels around and has great access
to the Seattle Center and transportation, including the Monorail.
Nice microwave, refrigerator, TV, and great snack machines down the hallway. I
loved the shower head. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Friendly,
efficient housekeeping staff.
Parking--you pay $15 and can park there for 24 hours while you sightsee or go to
your conference for the day.

Great location close to the Space Needle. And not far to walk to downtown
Seattle or otherwise catch the monorail located close by. Rooms were
comfortable, but not flashy. Free wi-fi, gym, spa (which came in very handy when
the outside temperatures were freezing!).

We stayed from April 26-28. We walked to the Seattle Center and were able to
enjoy all of the activities without having to worry about parking. Our car was
parked at the hotel underground gated parkade. The hotel is a half block walking
distance to the center. It has great views of the space needle. There is a great
workout area available just off the lobby. There is also a business center with
4 computers if you need to check email or do some internet surfing and didn't
bring your own computer.
They have excellent room service and the staff are all very friendly and
helpful. One time our daughter messed up the microwave and we asked for help. A
service person came to the room right away. It was just a programming error and
he showed us what happened. We also asked to have a room with a view and they
happily switched our rooms so we could enjoy the view of the space needle...no
questions asked.
The rooms are clean with plenty of space. We stayed in a room with 2 queen beds,
there was a nice tv with hd channels. There is also a nice big chair to relax in
after a long day. They have a room safe if you need to keep some important
documents there. They have a coffee machine and provide you with a paper in the
morning. One thing of note is that this is a green friendly hotel. The soap is
available in a dispenser and they provide you with options if you don't want to
participate in their green program.
There is a McDonalds just across the street from the hotel if you need a quick
bite to eat.
One thing you should be aware of is that they charge for parking $15+tax a
night....works out to $18.60..however you are allowed to leave your vehicle
there for the day. A good deal for downtown parking...It is a secure garage
too...requires your room key to get through the gates. |
