Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

8/10 Good
"The hotel lobby is multiple floors above ground level, and for our entire stay, only one elevator worked, resulting in long lines. The rooms were dated but today enough. Sufficiently spacious, no frills, Biggest plus was the location. It's a 5-10 minute uphill walk from the Symphony light rail station, a ten minute walk to Westlake Center, and a 15 minute walk to Pike Place."

Hotel 1000, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent
"Like I’ve said for other ‘Hyatt’ Seattle locations, I’m not a world traveler or big money, but this is a swanky place. You’re literally downtown, 3-4 blocks from Pike Place. I rarely use all the amenities of these places, blame my childhood(ha-ha). But they’ve got Top Golf on a floor. Bar is nice, quality restaurant. There’s a lemon tree in the lobby, the smell! Really great housekeeping! Valet service was so quick. I think they label the view each room has and if it doesn’t I imagine you end up looking across an ally into another building like I did. Not the end of the world, just would’ve been the sprinkles on the sundae. Wonderful experience, I’ll definitely stay here in the future."
