Hotel Review of the Hampton Inn Downtown Seattle
|
5 April 2012
My sister attended a Pottery convention in Seattle, and I decided to join her
and explore the city. Because of the convention, all the hotels closest to the
convention center were full and The Hampton Inn was the closest we could find on
short notice. The Hotel was near the space needle and a monorail trip away from
the downtown core (convention center). Keep in mind that on weekends, the
monorail doesn't run until 9am.The hotel is on the major bus routes, and the
buses are frequent to the city core. I arrived at The Hampton at 8:30am,
exhausted after an early morning flight and our room was ready for me upon
arrival. This was well appreciated! The hotel was more economical than the other
chains in the downtown core, but wasn't lacking quality. Our room was squeaky
clean and very comfortable. The staff members were friendly, helpful and
cheerful. The breakfast was fresh and plentiful. There were 2 computers for
guests' use in the lobby. The area around the hotel (Queen Ann Ave.) is very
trendy and has many fabulous restaurants, a great market (with organic
selections) and a wonderful cafe (top notch coffee and organic- gluten free
baked goods) just across the street. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for
anyone who doesn't mind being on the outskirts of the downtown area.

Checked into this property for a week of business travel. Unable to get a room
at the two Homewood properties which are where I usually stay when in Seattle.
Hotel is half renovated and a challenge to find during rush hour traffic. When I
finally found the hotel, the parking garage was full as 1/2 of it is being used
for construction equipment storage. Had to back all the way out of the garage
and proceed to the other parking garage. That is when the fun surprise occurred,
you can't get to your room from the P2 garage. You have to hike with your
luggage back up to the hotel lobby, then get the elevator to your room. This is
not fun in 3 inch heels with a laptop, suitcase, and other stuff. Probably won't
stay at this hotel again in the future. Also, no fridge or microwave in room....

This hotel is perfectly situated for getting to events at Seattle Center. We
were attending the dinner show at Teatro ZinZanni, which was a very walk able 4
blocks away. Accommodations were clean and the staff extra friendly. The
Breakfast was good and the food regularly refreshed by a zealous attendant. My
only complaint was the antiseptic odour on the hallways and especially near the
elevator (4th floor). I've experienced this in other medium-rate hotels, but
here it was especially strong.

We chose this hotel because we were going to Key Arena for a concert. Upon
arrival they offered us water and when they found out we were going to a concert
offered to call us a cab so we didnt have to drive. Everything was clean and
great. However when they gave us a pass to park underground they did not mention
that there was a fee. The next morning we found a bill under our door. They took
it off as we called to complain.
A negative was the noise...you heard a lot of doors slamming and ppl talking
throughout the night!

Accommodations were clean and comfortable. Hotel is undergoing renovation, but
1/2 is done and no noise from the work in the other half. Easy walk to the
Seattle Center, Space Needle, Gates Foundation and the EMP. A bit of a walk to
Pike Place, but you can take the monorail from Seattle Center. Breakfast
included, but typical limited buffet. Exercise room is adequate. |
