The Paramount Hotel
The hotel was very nice. The rooms were clean. There is no coffee makers in the rooms and the safes are a joke. It is in a noisy location due to both traffic and transit, but quiets down around midnight. They have a dining room and a cafe, but neither one is opened all day.

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG
Basic TV not working. Called in service, but never resolved during the whole stay. Yet they charge amenity fees....ridiculous!
