Please clean the windows. I would have given 5 stars if I could have seen the water views from the windows.

Executive Hotel Pacific
Need air conditioning year round. Does not have air conditioning year-round and two of the five nights we stayed were warm for Seattle and uncomfortable. Very hard to sleep.

The Paramount Hotel
Great location within easy walking distance of Market, Mononrail and Metro. Good sized room. Very clean ( as was all hotel). Valet parking was super quick. Staff were very helpful. Negatives - one of the two elevators was out of order for the 5 days we were there. Would be nice to have coffee making ...
