I found the Grand Hyatt in Seattle to be a great choice for my one-night stay since I needed to attend an event at the Paramount Theatre, just a block away. The check-in staff was very friendly and efficient and had me on my way up to my room in short order. Off-street parking is convenient, though a bit pricey, with a parking garage located right behind the hotel.
The rooms, while not large, are very comfortable. Much of the space was taken up by the bathroom which had an enormous shower plus a separate tub and expansive counter and sink. It seemed luxurious until I tried out the towels, which appeared to be made for a middle tier fitness club rather than a top notch hotel.
The room was very quiet; I didn't notice any noise from adjoining rooms or the hallway, although I didn't see many people on my floor so I'm sure that helped. There were some other very nice touches such as electrically controlled window shade to block out the downtown lights and a lighted closet for hanging clothes. The king bed was very comfortable with lots of pillows to choose from.
Besides the disappointing towels, the thing which made this less than a perfect night's stay was the WiFi connection. I'm always amazed that Holiday Inn Express can provide me with rock-solid WiFi for free, but a place like the Hyatt will charge at least $10 per night for flaky internet access. I even splurged for the "Premium" WiFi at $15 per night, and found it to be painfully slow. I gave up trying to get work done from my room and switched over to using my phone for basic web access.
Overall, my stay at the Grand Hyatt was a very good experience, and I would probably stay here again on my next trip to Seattle.
Room Tip: West facing rooms above the 20th floor have a very nice view of downtown and the sound.
