Checked in about noon with no problems. Reception staff were courteous, nice but rather small lobby. I'm a Hilton Honors member, which I highly reccommend you join before staying at any Hilton property as they go out ot their way to put you in the best available room. They put me on the top floor with a great view of Seattle. The room was very nice and clean with a full sized refrigerator, dishwasher, two burner stove, and microwave. Also a sofa, desk with special ergonomic chair. and a very sizable room. There is also a very large closet that has it's own lighting. You can basically walk in to the closet to put your luggage. 32" LG flat panel tv, very comfortable bed, nice linens, and GREAT pillows. I only stayed one night, but if I stay in downtown Seattle again, this will definitely be on my list.

I stay here every time I am in Seattle for business as it is a solid hotel. Friendly staff, large rooms, good breakfast in the morning and snacks & beer/wine in the evening. The room was very clean and everything worked as expected. Housekeeping did a very good job with one very minor exception - each time they left the bathroom drinking glass that had been used. The newspaper was sometimes was left by the door in the morning and sometimes it was not, so it was inconsistent throughout the week. I didn't receive a bill under the door the morning of checkout but the front desk printed one at checkout. The Convention Center is next door and the location is an easy walk to downtown and Pike Market. Look forward to returning.

I think that the parking, after tax (and valet tips) was more expensive than the expensive downtown Washington DC Hilton/HGI.

Friendly Staff.

Somewhat convoluted hhonors floor where you need to take an elevator up, then walk to another elevator that goes up one more floor, it's a bit like being punished for having status if you're wheeling baggage/equipment around.

The room was nice, though there was a large gap at the bottom of the door that let a lot of noise in from the corridor - there's always that one guy who has to use his outside voice in a hotel corridor after 11pm

I liked that the TV signal was in HD and I was glad that I got a courtyard view as the other side seemed very noisy.

Love the convenience of having a kitchen (not that I was planning to cook) with microwave and refrigerator. Very comfortable bed with a split of feather and foam pillows - a little odd to have such a large room with just a queen bed. Good water pressure in the shower is always a plus, but no hand-held shower head. Ample counter space in the bathroom and kitchen. Parking was totally overpriced (I guess because of the convention center nearby) - advertised as $32 on the website, but that doesn't include about $7 of tax - valet is the only option. As others have commented, traffic noise is an issue, even though I wasn't facing the highway. Major disappointment was that the ice cream bars in the pantry must have melted at some point in time, because there was a puddle in the wrapper, outside the chocolate :-( They did refund the charge (we opened several and all had the same problem), but that didn't satisfy my dessert fix. If your business isn't downtown, it is very convenient to get on the I-5.
