Everything was fine overall. Staff wouldn’t really do much to take care of a party going on in the neighboring room so after an hour of trying to get them to do something we finally just asked to be moved at around midnight. The room we were moved into didn’t have any heat and woke up freezing as it was cold in Seattle that night

Lovely room centrally located with pleasant Staff. An odd tax on the Parking however up to 25 percent that staff could not explain. “It was Corporate”. Otherwise a great experience.

Great hotel from the minute I walked in. I was greeted by the front desk concierge Nobel. Nobel was very friendly and wanted to be sure my stay at the hotel and in the city of Seattle was an excellent experience.
My room was large with a complete wall of windows that were practically floor to ceiling. That room was clean, the bed was soooo comfortable and the room was completely silent. I was not aware of the heat turning on and off during the night. I could not hear people out in the hallway or outside noise through the windows.
The best part was the large bathroom with the soaker tub and separate shower. I have stayed at a lot of nice hotels all over the world. This bathroom beat all of the other hotels I have stayed in.
The hotel is right in heart of the city with so many wonderful restaurants right outside the doors of the hotel. I will definitely stay here again.

If you’re looking for a spotless hotel in downtown Seattle with soul check this out ! Beautiful original architecture, but updated modern rooms with exposed brick walls and cozy ambiance. Staff members all super friendly, and Functional Fitness room stocked with weights, kettle bells, medicine balls, mats etc. Location so close to waterfront, ferry terminal, Pike Place etc.

Room was subpar, at best. I paid extra for a preferred double queen and got a room that looked like an after thought like it was a storage room. Huge room with nothing worthwhilenin it, poor decor, terrible beds with hard mattresses and no box springs. Also, they failed to de-feather my room so we had to wait over an hour while the non-housekeeping staff tried to figure it out at 9pm! Lame.

We had a standard king and the room was pretty small. Barely enough room for one med size roller bag. A furniture was jammed in and not a lot of room to move. We were there for one night so not a big deal, but if I were staying longer I would want larger room.

This hotel was such a great surprise. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They really listened when they asked you questions and made our stay magical. The room was spacious, clean and relaxing. I enjoyed the view and comfortable bed. The location of the hotel was ideal since many attractions were in walking distance. The dinning/bar downstairs had great food, the owner knows how to make a delicious drink. This will definitely be a hotel we look to book again when staying in Seattle.

The room was kinda bland given the nightly rate.. nothing that wow’d us, your basic stuff felt like an upgraded motel.. I had stayed here a few yrs back and loved the room we had then which was a double, it had more character then which is why I booked it again.. but this time around, it was disappointing.. had even messaged prior that we were in town for my husband’s bday and nothing special, no note, or anything to show some acknowledgment (we’ve stayed in other hotels that have, it’s just added hospitality that can make guests feel more welcomed and more personable of an experience).. not gonna waste our money here, and esp w a valet that cost 77$ after taxes..! No breakfast just a restaurant downstairs. The lobby was ok. Felt cold.. bland as the room.

The valet could actually come out to greet arrivals or be awake at their post. Room square footage should note the hallways is 50% of the addition and suites should note that fireplaces aren’t in every suite despite what a website might indicate.

My stay at The Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel was great a few hiccups but it was enjoyable. I stayed in a king 1 bedroom suite. The suite has a lot of large windows which allows lots of light and views of the city. The suites are equipped to handle hearing and visual impaired guest. The decor is beautiful and the suite is very spacious. I ended up purchasing a deodorizing air spray because my suite had a very stale smell to it. The heat in the room wouldn't go higher than 75 which is fine in the daytime but at night in the fall or winter the suite was very cold especially the bedroom. The suite has no kitchen and small refrigerator is filled with purchasable items so it was hard to store personal items. Microwaves are provided upon request.

I didn't rent a car because a lot of attractions are a walkable distance from the hotel and for those that don't like walking public transportation is everywhere. A daily day pass is 6.00 and it can be used on the bus and light rail. Rideshares are available however they are somewhat pricey due to the additional fees and taxes. The same is true for food delivery and parking.

This was my 1st time visiting Seattle as an adult, this city has fees and surcharges on everything. The hotel requires a deposit of 100. per night and yes the deposit is refundable, there is a daily destination tax fee of 28.93, 12.00 of this fee can be used daily at the bookstore bar as long as you charge the bill to your room.

Location was perfect for a football game at Lumen! Two blocks(ish) from the stadium. Two blocks from Pikes Place, and across the street from the waterfront and Ivars!
They charge $25/day but you get a $12 credit to use at the bookstore cafe. I didn’t like the food there, the nearly $20 avocado toast wasn’t toasted, just soft bread with a thin layer of avocado spread and a little salad spread across. We left the cafe hungry and unsatisfied but anyway, you can ALSO use the daily $12 for the mini bar stuff in your room! I loved the room, loved the 24 hr valet, except the 1 time they forgot about me and I waited patiently for for 30 minutes because they told me they were busy and I might have to wait 15-20 min. I didn’t get the wifi info and didn’t have wifi but it’s my bag because I could have called or went to the front desk to get it. The room was so cozy with tall ceilings, i wish I was there to hang out and read books, the xl window with a large ledge for my coffee gave great book reading vibes!
I will definitely come back here when I go to my next game at Lumen for the location! However my next trip to Seattle will be a new adventure somewhere else

The room was sufficient and the staff was very good, but the housekeeping left something to be desired. The overall feel was old and a bit run down. The restaurant was terrible. The food appeared and tasted like they pulled it out of a freezer and put it in the microwave. The cocktails were absolute amateur. And it had a 9.4 rating. I would never stay here again.

Our stay was good. We enjoyed the hotel and amenities.
I think the $25/day extra charge for a couple bottles of water and access to the fitness center is nothing more than a greed-grab for more money from your patron guests. The hotels I stay in include the fitness center as part of my rate. Yours is a ruse to collect more income, which has left a bad taste in my mouth for your marketing. Nowhere in my reservation information was it mentioned that you world charge me an extra $50 for 2 bottles of water and your fitness center, for my 2-day stay, regardless of whether I used it or not. It’s disappointing that your company thinks this ploy is of value to your guests. Your room rate was almost $400 per night, and yet you see a need to charge another $25 per night for 2 water bottles and a fitness center?!? That’s pretty bush-league.

Air conditioning was nice and cool which we liked; room was extra large, clean and comfortable, except the sofa in our room was so low and the bottom cushion was flat and clearly worn. Would've liked a more comfortable sofa to lounge on. Service at the front desk was always friendly and helpful; attached bar/restaurant was lacking good customer service, plus they didn't have a few items we ordered two days in a row. Felt like they were disorganized. Would stay again, but probably won't go to attached bar/restaurant again.
