Overall, our room was very clean, except for one of the framed images on the wall, which had an excessive amount of splatter of some sort all over the glass on the front. Bedding and pillows were clean and comfortable. When is staff was very helpful and friendly. Only issue was the lack of consistency with the elevator working. They were very good about communicating the issue ahead of time but it was a real pain with only one of the elevators working during our visit and at one point the working one appeared to go down as well. We were on the 7th floor and had to take the stairs several times mostly due to the lengthy wait times given the amount of people waiting to use the elevator.

Downtown Seattle hotels are expensive—there's no getting around that. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable hotel with a great location and good-sized rooms, this property is an excellent value.

During my stay, comparable hotels nearby were more than $100 per night higher. In my opinion, the extra cost wasn't justified. This hotel provided everything I needed: a comfortable room, friendly service, and easy access to downtown attractions.

I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good Seattle hotel without paying luxury hotel prices.

Awesome location - very walkable to everything! Allowed early check-in. REALLY comfortable beds and usually hotel beds are so hard I'm crippled. Free water at the front desk as needed. They had a cheap shuttle you could book down to the cruise terminal. And, we were there for a milestone birthday for my dad - and they left him a little gift basket! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Sleepless in Seattle!
Overall good and convenient hotel to stay at! Comfortable, clean and spacious room. Unfortunately when we arrived, one of the two elevators was out of service, seems like an ongoing issue. Ice machine was out of service on the floor we stayed at (Fl. 8). Five people where staying next room who were very loud through for two nights straight, my wife and I couldn't sleep. AC unit was very loud the last night we were there.
Most of the staff were polite and helpful. We recommend to stay at this location, however, the hotel should do their best to have the elevator repaired ASAP.
Walking distance to the Public Market and Space Needle. \"If you like to walk that is\".

The hotel is challenged with only one working elevator. We learned one of the 2 elevators has been not working since January which is very concerning to not be able to be fixed over the course of several months. I hadn’t researched to learn there is no coffee maker in the room, however available 4 am - 7 am free in the lobby. After 7 am, you can purchase coffee in the on premise restaurant.

While the room was fine and bed comfortable, it is an older hotel with older bathrooms.

Every time I travel to Seattle, I stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff are friendly, and it's very easy to get to Westlake Station. During my stay last week, I was impressed to see that the hotel had been renovated. The room I stayed in felt much bigger than last year! The only disappointing thing was that the in-room coffee machine, cups, and glasses had been removed. You now have to either get the complimentary coffee between 4:00 and 7:00 AM at the lobby or buy it elsewhere.

Apparently Corporate made a decision to remove cofffee/ tea makers in room and coffee is available in the lobby only from 4-7 a.m. The fridge I our room was not working (hoping that’s not going to be removed also. ) The toilet paper and facial tissues are now thin single ply. Amenities have definitely taken a hit. The hotels.com purchased room we were assigned had a view of the mechanical equipment and a small parking lot. We’ve stayed at The Paramount many times and are disappointed with the downgrades.
However, It is a convenient location to the Convention Center and the Paramount Theatre. And it’s about a 15 minute walk to Pike Place Market and shopping. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

Very centrally located. Especially when taking the bus from Vancouver, BC and getting off at the Convention Centre.
Room temperature was cold and I didn’t want to start fiddling with the thermostat. Bearable though.
Things that need improving: soft towels (like sandpaper) and 2 ply toilet paper. I don’t think the hotel saves any money by using the cheap stuff since more of it has to be used.

It is a beautiful hotel and the location couldn't be beat. We didn't realize how close/walking distance we were to everything we wanted to do, including our show at the Showbox we attended. My ONLY complaint is....why no coffee in the rooms??? Or even in the lobby? That didn't make any sense. That's the least you can do for guests. We also didn't love the $60/night parking fee. We didn't know how close we were to everything so the car sat there for 2 nights without ever taking it out. :-( Other than that, the staff is stellar, the room was clean and super nice, with a great view.

The positives: the bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have slept in. The soaps were good quality and I enjoyed that the ice was available pre-bagged at the elevator.

The staff was friendly when approached but did not acknowledge guests until approached. They did manage to check me in early with no extra charge which was great, and they stored my bag for me after checking out.

The negatives: There are no coffee machines in the rooms. In addition to that, the complimentary coffee service is only available from 4am-7am which is not in anyway convenient. There is a restaurant on site with limited hours.
There are two elevators in the hotel, but only one was working.
I paid for a traditional King room and when they gave me a room on the 9th floor I was excited for a view but I got a room with a tiny window surrounded by buildings with almost no natural light coming in and a lot of noise from the building fans and parking right outside.
The rooms' a/c unit controls didn't work and I couldn't adjust the temperature, only turn the fan on or off. The alarm clock didn't work and the shower took forever to heat and had the worst pressure.

Hotel is in a great location but that's where the amenities stop. You get a comfy bed but that's about it. I also found out when I picked up my bag they have complimentary bottles of water available but it's not listed and not offered unless you ask.

We had a great room and very friendly helpful staff.
Biggest difficulty was their two broken down elevators. We were literally stuck inside of one for 5-10 minutes and the other never was fixed during our whole stay. A real safety issue that needs to be addressed by the Hotel Owner/Property Manager. Made for an awful situation regarding our baggage to/from the room and an overcrowded single elevator for the rest of the stay.
Wish there was an option for coffee in the room rather than an early morning, single server machine but still grateful for the coffee.
With all that said, still a nice hotel to stay.

Mixed Stay – Valet Damage Unresolved

I stayed 3 nights starting May 15, 2026. The staff were friendly and helpful during check-in and check-out, the beds were comfortable, and the AC worked well. The rooms are a bit dated but clean. The bathroom shower head had a buildup of grime that restricted water flow to a pour rather than a spray. Only one elevator was in service, so at times there were longer than expected waits to get up or down.

The main issue was that the valet service damaged my vehicle. After contacting the hotel, the manager has not responded to my email. I would caution anyone using the valet service here.

There was only one elevator working for the entire hotel, and being in a high floor was inconvenient sometimes. Also, there was no connection to the restaurant in the lobby and unable to make and order from your room.

Staff was courteous and professional, especially the housekeepers. We had a corner suite which was very roomy and comfortable but some signs of wear and tear. Great location right next to Convention Center. Biggest gripe is only one of the two elevators was working, with no service elevator. So that could be the most heavily used elevator in the state of Washington, and the wait to go up/down could be extensive.

Other than location, the Paramount hotel was pretty average. The one big thing that makes or breaks our stay is the staff and how they treat you. My wife and I felt whenever we approached the staff, it was almost as if we were interrupting them and they had short sharp responses, not overly helpful and never greeted or acknowledged us when we came in to the hotel or were leaving. However, location was great, the room was nice and that’s where it ended for us.
