While the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms receive praise, there are mixed feelings about the decor, with some finding it tired.

The hotel is good,rooms and bathrooms bit old but clean and 10-15 min walk from pike palace , famous Starbucks roastery , but surrounded by all big brands hotels . We were upgraded to suites on top floor 34 room no 3464 because the room which we booked was not well cleaned after we waited for 5 hrs to get the room (it was the fault of the reception girl who was supposed to call us but didn’t call that the room is ready ) After that the manager who was there in evening was very kind and upgraded us to suite , which was a very nice gesture. The hotel is under renovation (lobby area but it hardly disturbs the guest ) You can take direct train from airport to university street and from there it takes 10 min to reach hotel by walk , it cost approximately 3.5 use per person . The amenities and service is quite good , room cleaning service is on call before 12.00 pm everyday . I didn’t find any flaw in the hotel , its just the rooms are bit old and bathrooms are also old but they are clean and well organised . Well the property is value for money and u can stay here without any issues . Suggestion: take higher floor and room towards partial sea facing .

As someone else mentioned in a recent review, this is a major construction zone, not a “little bit of dust” as the website says. I’m sure it will be nice once done, but very disappointing at this time. No real “front desk”, plastic sheets hanging, elevators not working properly, no lobby, etc. Another reason for the 2 stars is how grossed out I was by my bathroom. The sink and tub did not drain and filled up very quickly. This is just gross. It tells me it’s clogged with hair or debris. There is no way that housekeeping is not aware of this if they turn the water on. They just choose to do nothing about it. The toilet also did not flush half the time. The lobby renovation may be great once it’s done. But consider putting some money into the guest bathrooms too. No one wants that. Not personally a huge fan of the location and the fact that parking is over $60, plus given all the above I likely won’t be back. There are too many better options in downtown Seattle.

The website doesn't tell you that the property is currently undergoing renovations. There is no lobby per-se, as it is being redone. We were there on a weekend, so there was no noise. And our room was surprisingly quiet, no sirens, horns, or other outside sounds. The AC/heat worked quickly and accurately and the shower got hot fast and stayed constant. The location is 2 blocks from the 4th street light rail stop, though the walk is up hill.

I don't know where to start! On arrival, we found the hotel a building site! The website mentions a bit of dust! No lobby area, plastic sheeting, and hardboard everywhere! Stairways blocked off an improvised check in no more than 3,ft square (with a strange staff sofa area clearly visible behind the desk?) No restaurant or bar except a conference room with a few tables and chairs that was completely soulless and awful! Nowhere to sit apart from your room. No room service . Cleaning had to be booked on the day... and then often either not done or needed chasing with phone calls. Maybe this is due to a lack of staff laid off during the refurbishment? Our room was fine but our friends arrived later and the room had food all over the floor ! Cleaning had not been done, and cleaners were required to sort it ... not good after an eight hour flight! No facilities except for a microwave in the foyer! Very poor standards and lack of care of the poor customer who had booked in the middle of a building site!

I was travelling to Seattle from UK to see my friend during Christmas time 2023 before flew out to Hawaii for New Year Holiday. Chose to stay in the Crowne Plaza as I stayed in other Crowne Plaza in different countries for holiday and they are all very good but this one is the worst experience I've ever had and the customer service is really bad. I stayed there from 27th Dec 2023 to 31st Dec 2023 under 2 separate bookings, first one was check-in on the 27th Dec and check-out on the 28th Dec, the second booking was then check-in on the 28th Dec and check-out on the 31st Dec. Because the hotel requires $200 deposit during check-in so I paid $400 in total for the 2 bookings. I was told that I would get my deposit back within 3-5 business days but it's been nearly a month now, I still have not seen my money back. Popped back to the hotel on my way back from Hawaii, explained my issue to the receptionist in the lobby, he asked me to call their account team. I then ask if I could use their phone in the lobby to call as I am travelling from outside USA and my phone does not work and he refused. I then used my friend's phone to call, the same guy from the lobby picked up and transferred my call to the account team, so why could not he just simply let me use the phone in the lobby? Despite that, I've tried at least 10 times on that day, there is never anybody answers the call from the account team. I then gave up and flew back to the UK, use Skype to call the hotel account team and email as well, had no response for about 5 days and finally managed to speak to someone from the account team a week later. The girl answered the phone suggested that she's already replied my email which I never seen, I've checked the junk box by the way, and then she suggested that it will take 1 to 2 month before my money back to my account as my card was issue outside the USA and I should contact my bank as they have released the deposit and there is nothing they could do. I just could not believe what she said as I stay in another hotel nearby which is the 'The Sound Hotel Seattle Belltown, Tapestry Collection by Hilton' after I check out from Crowne Plaza, I got my deposit back from that hotel the same day I checked out. I've also paid deposit on the hotels I stayed in Hawaii, car rental company, always got my deposit back within 1 - 2 days after I check-out or return the hire car with no problem. I've done some searching on the internet, seems like I am not the only one who has issue with the deposit with this particular Crowne Plaza, not sure how long it will take for me to get my deposit back and it's really annoying, I will not recommend to stay in this Crown Plaza unless you want to risk your deposit.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and bringing the issue to our attention. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience you experienced as are result of the deposit hold for your reservations. Even though we release the authorization at the time of checkout, it might not immediately be released on the banking side. We have also attempted to release those authorizations after your first contact. Given the length of time it's taking in this case, we can contact your bank to have them release the hold manually. If you would contact me at tghandour@cphotelseattle.com, we can get the necessary information to start that process. Again please accept our apologies. Kind regards, Tarig Ghandour General Manager

West Sussex, United Kingdom810 contributions380 helpful votes
Generally good, our room was a large corner room with a view so sort of double aspect. You could just about see the Space needle, but mainly other skyscrapers. There was a large tv and I liked the curtain clips provided so no light crept in. It could do with more power points though. Breakfast buffet standard fayre and ok menu, staff all friendly. However, I don’t think the area allocated to the breakfast area is big enough for the size of the hotel, this caused long queues and wait times especially at the weekend. The lifts were problematic. On the face of it very high tech, but again at the weekend it seemed that 2 of the 4 were not working and together with the unfamiliar operation of said lifts chaos ensued in the lobby and long wait times on the various floors. Hopefully this has been rectified by now. It was also manic trying to get cab on our check out day on a Saturday, which together with the lift problem meant the lobby was uncomfortably crowded. Housekeeping was by request, we asked 3 times and it was only done once over a 5 night stay, that was not acceptable and really affected this review. The hotel is in a good location, and it is easy walk to the SAM, ferry, Benaroya and the monorail. This made it easy to get to the Space centre attractions. Not so easy walking back- Seattle was much hillier than I expected.

Clean, comfy suite with a comfy bed and pillows. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Hotel was within walking distance of the pier and various restaurants. The only thing you need to be aware of is they only offer valet parking at the hotel and it’s 50.00 a night!! We didn’t eat at the hotel so we cannot rate the service or food.
