I stayed at this bed and breakfast in October 2004 for my honeymoon. From our suite, we could look out the large windows and gaze at Elliot Bay. We also had a good view of a corner of Pike Place Market, where we could see merchants early in the morning setting up their stands for the day. Looking straight down out of our windows, we saw The Pink Door, a hard to find restaurant in Seattle that is not to be missed. The suite was spacious, with high ceilings and included a small kitchen and private bath.
The owner was friendly and hospitable and made us feel right at home. The breakfasts were held in a large sitting room, and were composed of fresh muffins and rolls, and fresh fruit, coffee, tea, and juice.
When we return to Seattle, we will definitely stay here again!

We stayed at this hotel last summer for 4 nights during our visit to Seattle. From check-in until check-out there was truly a sense of being pampered. They have one restaurant and they are also most. The restaurant will make up a box lunch for their guests, which is a nice convenience. We went fishing one day during our stay and ordered a box lunch. It was very delicious and just the right amount of food for our outing.
I would most definitely stay there again. Quality hotel in every aspect.

Here ye, here ye:
The Nite Lite is possibly my favorite bar in Seattle for two major reasons and incalculable minor reasons.
First and foremost, the possibility that this establishment was somehow teleported from a tiny rural town in Everytown, USA is very, very high. Take out just enough of the political conservatism and keep a perfect amount of the bad fashion. Best of both worlds, right? It gets better...
This Jukebox is righteous and my frequent inability to do laundry is probably a direct consequence of its magnificence (quarters, or lack there of). Unfortunately the inclusion of one Shania Twain album prevents it from being completely flawless, but there is plenty of Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Kenny Rogers to go round.
Minor points include cheap drinks ($2 Pabst all day), personable, loyal and somewhat elderly staff, junky decorations, pool tables, fireplace, darts & Goldentee, private room, and a pretty lousy and stupid gigantic diorama of what I BELIEVE is supposed to be the golden gate bridge.
LOVE IT!

I am hosting my wedding here in December. I have been planning for about a year and it has been a great experience. I have been to the hotel on several occasions. The rooms are beautiful, the staff is always friendly (everyone from the valet to the front desk to the waitstaff in the bar), and the hotel itself is gorgeous. It is not in the heart of downtown (as far as walking distance from most sights) but the hotel provides complimentary towncar service for all guests. As far as special events are concerned they have taken great care of us. The Top of the Town and Penthouse Suite (where my wedding will be held) has a beautiful view of the skyline. The coordinator has gone above and beyond to make sure my event is just what I imagined it would be. I am truly pleased and would recommend the hotel to anyone!

Just the fact that there are no other reviews of this hotel tells me that the secret is still safe. The Vintage Park is a true gem among a lot of bigger, flashier downtown hotels. The lobby is small and cozy, but nicely welcoming with a warm fireplace and comfy couches. The entire hotel has been recently renovated and it shows - the rooms are decorated with a Tuscan flair, and although some are on the small side, they're welcoming and beautiful.
I had an occassion to attend an event held in the Presidential Suite - and let me tell you, THAT is one gorgeous place. I could be talked into living there permanently quite easily.
If you stay here, don't miss the restaurant - Tulio's, it's exquisite. (See my seperate review.)

More
Summerfield Suites is a really nice extended stay hotel where my husband and I reserve a room for my in-laws whenever they come to town. It's very reasonably priced for what you get, so we like it, too. My in-laws have recommended it to all their friends who come to visit Seattle, too. The suites are great, neutrally but tastefully decorated, and fairly spacious. The location is ideal, just West of Capitol Hill, just North of First Hill, and on the Eastern edge of downtown by the convention center. It's super easy to walk to and from downtown and almost just as easy to walk to the Pike/Pine corridor, although it's uphill getting there. Although the hotel is located directly over I-5 where it passes through downtown, it's very well insulated from the freeway noise. Rooms with a view can see the Space Needle and the fireworks display on 4th of July.
They offer several different room configurations, the more expensive options being the ones where the living/dining area is separate from the bedroom(s). Those suites feel just like corporate housing, if you've ever been there. All have a small "vanity" area/room that is separate from the bathroom so that the bathroom mirror isn't the only mirror in the suite. Each suite has a desk with one of those fancy Aeron desk chairs, which are really as comfortable as everyone claims.
The kitchen in every suite comes with decent counterspace, a microwave, sink, dishwasher, and fridge. Everything's always very clean and well-maintained. Every morning, they serve a continental breakfast buffet complete with make-your-own waffles. There's even a small convenience store area in the lobby where you can buy foods to cook in your room. If you don't feel like cooking in your room, there are a number of good restaurants within a block or two, several of which offer delivery service to the hotel.
There is a small, heated rooftop pool where kids like to play as well as a small adjoining gym.
The staff are very nice, especially the guys in the parking garage. We are always in and out picking up the parents and dropping them off and the valets are always okay with us parking in one of the short-term spots for free. Overnight parking incurs $20-something (or whatever is the usual for hotels).
As an added bonus, you might run into celebrities if you stay here. The Paramount is nearby, after all. My husband recently met LL Cool J and his entourage in the lobby as they were checking out!

Though the furnished studios are tiny, this is a clean, very pleasant place to live while searching for more permanent housing—available by the night, week, or month. While it’s a good deal smaller than any studio apartment you’re likely to rent for the price—about 160 square feet—it’s cheaper than staying at any other nice hotel for that long. (When my husband and I moved in, three months ago, it was $645 a month and now it’s $795, but I don’t know whether the rates have permanently gone up or are seasonal.) The tenants are friendly and the staff even friendlier, giving the place an almost communal feeling. Highly recommended for long-term temporary housing.

NEWLYWEDS - so we're traveling the world and we stay at this new eco friendly modern hotel. LOVED IT! It was so modern and sleek. The Restaurant/Bar downstairs (Urbane) served Breakfast thru Dinner. Food was delicioso and moderatly priced. Close to all shopping and the famous Market. Hotel room was soo nice, modern everything. Bathrooms were fabs too! Swimming pool was sooo nice, its thru the SPA area. Which the SPA is amazing too (try out their showers in there). Jacuzzi, was soooo nice! Everything was beautifully decorated and modern. Customer Service is first class.. Couldn't ask for more. Modern, Sleek, Edgy, Hip, fabulous priced hotel. Must stay here. Not a kid friendly hotel. Kids are not allowed in the swimming pool area unsupervised. Suggest adults/couples/business for this hotel only.
Pros: THE SWIMMING POOL, SPA, ATMOSPHERE, ROOMS
Cons: WALLS ARE PAPER THIN, YOU CAN HEAR EVERYTHING
