The Fairmont Olympic Hotel does not have to compete with other hotels in the area because this hotel is the only one of its kind. A true Grande Dame. From the Brass Leopards which stand guard at the entrance to the thread count of the soft linen, the details embrace you with total luxury. It isn't even necessay to leave the hotel. The Olympic offers everything from fine dinning, brunch and cocktails to a full service spa and very helpful room service. I would recommend that a honeymoon be spent here. Or any special occasion.
Pros: suites to live in
Cons: the suites are always booked

We had a terrific stay! Our Yorkies were greeted and welcomed as well as we were. Shopping was so close and convenient. Accommodations were cozy, comfy and welcoming! Locations for walking our pups were convenient and well lit. Staff was courteous and prompt with fulfilling all requests. We would stay there again in a heart beat! We lucked out with a parking promotion.

We had walked by Shuckers a few times while staying at hotels nearby and never really considered it (maybe the name, and no enthusiasm for oysters?). July 4, our usual area targets were closed, so there we were. Never read a review, so no expectations.
We're really glad we went! We were seated promptly; the service was actually rather amazing - we never had to wait to ask questions or order, nor were we pestered by over-attentiveness. Perfect balance.
I had something I very rarely have: fish and chips. Four good-sized chunks of halibut in a wonderful, light batter; generous cuts of fresh potato, perfectly cooked. I waved one of the fries under my companion's nose: 'what do you smell?' - 'Potato!' The experience was perfectly cooked battered fish and potato, not oil (which I expect, and why I rarely order f&c).
They have a decent beer list with local microbrews - some organic - which was perfect with the above. I had the 'beer flight' (array of 3) and particularly liked the perfectly balanced and aromatic Manny's Pale Ale. Dessert was their version of strawberry shortcake: based on a very solid lemony cake, fresh strawberries, whipped cream and a scoop of house-made strawberry sorbet. Good finish to the main.
My companion has allergies and these were dealt with creatively and without condescension (always a treat when that happens!).
In fairness, this was July 4th evening, and the place was less than half full; but we would certainly go back to explore the other dishes.

I stayed at this Best Western location for a week last summer. The rooms were very clean and the staff was nice. The prices at Best Western are always good and you always know what you are going to get. So that is a plus!

I was in Seattle for business and stopped in at the Coldwater Bar and had one of the best times of my life on the road. The Bartender, an absolute Professional Bartender , who looks just like Hemingway, recommended an excellent wine and dinner and had me feeling right at home immediately. He actually had the whole Bar feeling at home, he had us talking and laughing together like we had known each other for years.
Pros: Great Bartender
Cons: Not much of a Happy Hour

I went and stayed with my wife over the weekend (I live in Seattle, but let my folks stay at our place). It was awesome to do a little mini staycation, walked to Poppy in Capitol Hill, and my wife did some shopping at Pacific Place, which was also walking. The best part is that I got an amazing deal, the front desk people said they are trying to promote the fact that they put $20 million in renovations to locals.
Plus their sky bar has an awesome view! *updated* I have to say that both my wife and I were very impressed with the digs you set us up with. Everything about the space was amazing and we really enjoyed hanging out in the room. We started off the night with a little happy hour in the Visions Lounge and enjoyed some delicious crab cake sandwiches, locally produced Washington gin martini's and of course, the amazing view. We wandered downtown for some shopping and dinner and greatly enjoyed the bottle of wine you sent our way. Again, thanks so much for your generosity.
Pros: Amazing Deal, we could bring our dog, and could walk so many cool places
Cons: none

We loved Hotel Monaco! The hotel is very unique, every room is decorated in wonderful rich colors of reds, yellows , blues; fun colors that make you want to go home and paint your house! The entry way, hallways and rooms transport you to faraway places, the artwork is fantastic, the details and furnishings are fascinating. In the evenings they have wine in their huge relaxing lobby where you can sit and play a game of chess while you sip and enjoy the beginnings of what are sure to be a fun evening in Seattle. They are conveniently located on 4th Ave., near all the fun downtown places and excellent restaurants.
Happy 10 year Anniversary Katherine!!

My wife and I had only a few days in Seattle and had decided to stay a little out of the city grind. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was dellicous. I was surprised by some of these other comments, as we found everything to be in perfect working order. The location is perfect for about everythin we wanted to do; go to the Space Needle, see the Experiance Music Project, and so forth. In short, I have nothing but praise for the Inn at Queen Anne. It was truly a weekend to remember.
Pros: Inexpensive, Helpful, Location

Now called the Executive Hotel Pacific , It was recently remodeled with a very modern look . It has some of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in , the room was on the smaller size I recommend paying the extra twenty dollars for the king room or the two Queen bed room they are much more roomy. There is a Seattles best coffeee and Jasmine in the lobby and you can walk anywhere nearby you need to go. I paid at least half the price as the hotels next door and across the street were charging IT WAS A GREAT DEAL!
Pros: Price and Location
Cons: No wireless in the rooms and parking is expensive
