Do not stay here if you require anything more than the bare bones basics and a
low price for Seattle. I would not want to walk back to the hotel from downtown
by myself at night.
Pros:
Price: less than 100 for Seattle is not bad
Cleanliness: ok
Location: 3 minute walk to space needle and Jimmy Hendryx museum (recommended!),
15 minute walk to shopping part of downtown, 30 minute walk to Pikes market.
Staff: pleasant
Pool: It was closed in November but open in summer, call and check if this is
important to you
Hot tub: Did not try it but it is there
Art: 2nd floor hallway art, lol.
TV: yes
Internet Access: Worked fine
Breakfast: Stick with hard boiled egg, bread, fruit and yogurt and avoid the
rest
Cons:
Bed: Super soft, full rather than queen sized, sagged in the middle
Bathroom: Low rent 70s style meh
Ambiance: None
Room: Small, hole in carpet, giant loud HVAC.
Hotel Review of the Travelodge Space Needle Seattle

Very convenient location near the Space Needle and EMP museum. Check-in was very
quick.
Elevator is a bit rusty and after you got of on the floor the hallways to the
rooms were very hot. Hopefully your keycard works the first time ;) The room
itself was ok and the beds were comfortable for the night.
To bad that you are looking directly onto another hotel and have no view of the
space needle.
This is the right hotel if you are checking out Seattle all day and stay there
only to sleep.

This hotel is pretty low priced but be prepared for a couple of things. Firstly
the staff are kind of strange. The first was so desperate for conversation she
wouldn't let me go to my room, the second tried to convert me to their own
political ideology and would direct me to the nearest Starbucks as they were too
corporate. The third wouldn't even raise their head to even acknowledge my
existence. That coupled with the ancient decor and general dark feel of a prison
with brown flaky walls made for a very interesting stay. Not horrible but I wont
be going back.

Overall we enjoyed our stay and were happy. It is your typical Economy Hotel. If
you want 4 stars go downtown and spend twice the money. If you want a good
location and value, stay here.
Things we liked: The location to the Space Needle is excellent! It is an easy
walk. The coffee machine in the lobby was a nice touch. It offered several types
of coffee's which I hadn't seen before, and didn't expect in a hotel like the
Travelodge. The beds were nice and the linens and pillows were comfortable.
Things we didn't like: The hotel hallway was very hot and muggy feeling. Other
than the lobby the hotel needs some remodelling. The rooms were also boring and
not well appointed. I expected a fridge and microwave, but didn't have one.

Stayed during busy season and this is VERY close to the Space Needle but the
rooms just are not up to the cost ($12.00 parking is also added to your bill) of
$145.00. Overall the staff was very polite and friendly, my wake-up call was
missed but the manager was very nice about it and offered to discount the room.
My room (King Single) was VERY small and though not dirty it was WORN. TV was
old and had a bad picture. On the good side the Bed and Bedding where very nice
and the air conditioner was brand new. If all your looking for is a place to
sleep and shower this hotel has a great location and compared to the surrounding
hotels of the same-ish caliber it MAY be your best value. |
