So, this was kind of a whirlwind overnight trip because I was in Seattle for the Seahawks game. Not much time was spent at the hotel, so this review will be based on my thoughts and information from the hotel itself. Also, my pics aren't great and I don't have many, so sorry about that. Let's get started.
Vibe
This hotel is crazy classy, which I would expect because it was not cheap. It's a big, tall skyskraper with high ceilings. There are a lot of floors, I can't remember how many, but we were on the 22nd. Gorgeous Christmas decorations adorned the lobby. There have a bar to the left of the front counter and the hotel is connected to a 13 Coins restaurant, which is YUMMY!
Our room...OMG...amazing. I guess I hadn't remembered what I'd booked, or forgot, but it was awesome. The bedroom was separate from the sitting room, which had a couch, chair, coffee table, and desk with contemporary decor. There was a wet bar right inside the door. There was a television in both the sitting area and the bedroom. The bathroom was beautiful and big. It was sad we weren't going to spend much time there because it was epic!
Cleanliness
Immaculate.
Amenties
I've already mentioned the bar and the restaurant attached to the hotel, which are awesome. They have a parking garage, not sure I'd exactly call that an amenity because they charge over $50 for its use. I suppose it's better than finding parking elsewhere in Seattle.
They offer a complimentary evening reception and made to order breakfast. I didn't partake in those, so not sure how good they are, but like everything else in the hotel, I'm sure they're amazing.
The hotel has an indoor pool, gym, business center, gift shop, and meeting rooms. There is also EV charging in the parking garage.
They cater to Seahawks fans by hosting a party on the 6th floor with full bar and food trucks. Not sure how they get food trucks up there, but that's what I heard our server say. We also did not go to that.
This is NOT a dog friendly hotel.
Our room had a fridge, microwave, and coffee pot. Also, an Amazon Echo, which was cool.
The Staff
We arrived very early, about 10:00 and the desk clerk found us a room that was already ready, which was nice. If you looked lost, which we did a few times, they stopped what they were doing and directed you. In our experience they were friendly and helpful.
Location
You're in Pioneer Square in downtown Seattle so, you can't beat it. If you're there for any sports or concerts, look no further. The field where the Seahawks and Sounders play is right across a parking lot. The Mariners stadium is just beyond that. The Storm and Kraken's arena is just over two miles away.
If you want to shop, eat, drink, there are plenty of places within walking distance. Books, flowers, jewelry, art, wine - coffee, Italian, Irish, Indian, German, Mexican...whatever you're looking for, it's there. You're also less than a mile from the International District and Pike's Place Market.
It's just a twenty minute walk from the waterfront and Great Wheel. The Seattle Center is a short car ride away. Basically, this hotel is in a great location.
The Flaws
I don't usually talk about price, but I think if you're paying for a hotel room, probably buying food and drink, etc, parking should be included unless it's valet. They would still make money off of people visiting and parking for the day. Other than that, there really isn't anything else I can think of.
Verdict
This hotel was beautiful with plenty of amenities in a great location. Embassy Suites by Hilton Seattle Downtown Pioneer Square gets a 9.3 out of 10 hotel keys.
