    I stayed at the AC Hotel for one night while in Seattle. The property is tucked away on a side street but still easy to spot from a major highway. Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted by the bellhop and assisted at the front desk by a young woman who seemed new but was friendly and helpful. The check-in process was quick and smooth, and I couldn't resist grabbing one of the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies at the counter--it was delicious. My room was spotless, comfortable, and just what I needed after a long day of travel. For sightseeing, I rented a Lime scooter just outside the hotel and rode to the Space Needle in under 10 minutes. The location is convenient, the staff welcoming, and the hotel well-kept. I would recommend the AC Hotel and look forward to staying here again on my next visit to Seattle.

    Unprofessional staff who were unwilling to compromise or problem solve a very easily fixable circumstance. This hotel has a "passenger loading/unloading zone" directly in front of the hotel. It is identified by a painted white curb extending roughly 30 feet in length. At one end of the painted white curb, there was a cone set up with the word "valet," indicating the area was used for valet purposes only. In front of this posted cone was approx 15-18 feet of legal curb space, having no painted markings or signs indicating that you could not park there. THIS IS WHERE I PARKED. To be clear, their posted "Valet" sign was to the rear of my vehicle. Not in front of it. I would say it was position right about where my rear bumper was. At the other end of the painted white curb, the hotel thought it okay to take possession or approx. 15-18 feet of legal curb space prior to the start or the painted white curb line indicated by another "valet" cone well ahead of the painted white passenger loading space. Moving on, I was informed by the valet attendant that where I parked was only reserved for the hotel valet. I indicated that the area he was referring to was legal parking space and that my car was legally parked. Further, I noted that they didn't have the right to assume legal parking curb space as their own just because they wanted to be able to park at least three vehicles in front of their hotel, which is what he told me. The staff, valet and front desk, stated that my car would possibly get towed if I didn't move the vehicle. I showed the front desk attendant where the curb was marked white and where it wasn't. She acknowledged the difference, but at first she couldn't tell the difference. She proceeded to deflect the issue toward the valet staff, but still contacted/texted her immediate supervisor Sabrina who told her that the city of Seattle would most likely tow my vehicle if it wasn't moved. I advised the front desk to have Sabrina call me directly so there's no middle man. I also knew that they were having immediate and direct contact with each other at this time of the situation. I received no call from Sabrina. Not a good look, Marriott. After waiting approx 10-15 minutes for a call and concluding that it was unlikely that Sabrina was going to call me, right then and there, I decided to move the car from its legal spot, reluctantly. It should be noted, the "preference" of the valet to have room to park three vehicles in front was there, even with my car parked where it was. Now that I moved the car, they now had room for 4 cars. I know some readers may be rolling their eyes, or thinking this is a trivial matter, but the street parking in the area is very limited and the only other logical option is to pay AC Hotel $65 to park valet overnight. So yes, seeing an open space to park and then being told I have to move with really no legal authority, only preference, is super frustrating and bothersome. YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT to occupy legal parking space without a valid permit or authorization from the city. This could have been resolved by acknowledging that I was legally parked, but still asking me politely if I could move based on your related "high hotel occupancy" or any other reasonable or understandable circumstance. Then, if I were unable to find street parking, follow up by offering a complimentary over night valet service for my car. This would have quickly dissolved this hotel-created confusing situation. Instead, you tried to scare your paid guests with the idea that their car would get towed away if not moved. Really? Is that really the best way to resolve an easy parking issue from the confusion that you guys created? The way this issue was "handled/not handled" will always be an issue with me with AC Hotel, Seattle Downtown. Be better. PLEASE MARK AS "USEFUL" IF YOU FOUND THIS POST TO BE HELPFUL IN ANY WAY.

    While visiting Seattle I stayed at the AC Hotel for a few days . The AC hotel is a new hotel newly built /designed. The rooms are very modern , nice and clean . The lobby area is nice and smells really good . The concierge, parking attendant, bar manager were all so kind , helpful and provided top notch service. While my friend and I stayed at the AC we decided to have a few cocktail and appetizers at the bar . All were delicious. The AC hotel is easily accessible to downtown Seattle , Pike Place , shopping, etc. I highly recommend.

    This was the most amazing stay. The hotel is in the heart of downtown and walkable to Pike Place,…read moreLumen Field, and a ton of shops and restaurants. There's only a small area for parking in front of the hotel and it's also the spot for Valet. You'll likely have to post up in the travel lane to check in or drop off your car. The hotel has some unique amenities but I wasn't able to use them for such a short stay. The King corner room far exceeded my expectations. It's spacious and felt pretty luxurious. The star of the room is the soaking tub. It's deep and the water is hot. I especially liked that there's a separate shower. The workspace is nice and there are plenty of plugs for everything. The Nespresso comes stocked and is free to use. The mini bar, not so much, and it's pretty pricy. The bed. THE BED! If I could have brought it home with me I would have. It's lush and it smelled good. Like fresh dryer sheets good. I don't think I've ever said that about a hotel bed before. If you need a firm bed you won't like this one. I didn't have much interaction with the staff but when I did it was pleasant. I am definitely staying here again.

    Our stay at Hotel 1000…read more It's centrally located and provided all the necessities; a comfortable bed, hot shower and soft towels. Overall, just OK; not great, not bad. The staff was friendly, but not exceptional. Rooms are clean, and comfortable, but for the room night cost, I've had much better experiences for the same money. One stand out is the gentleman at Rosebay craft cocktails serving wine at the 3 o'clock hour. He was exceptional.

    I had a great stay at The Sound Hotel Seattle Belltown and would definitely consider staying here…read moreagain. I booked it partly because it's part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection, so I could earn and redeem Hilton Honors points. That was a huge plus since I was visiting during the World Cup and hotel prices were absolutely wild: close to $800 a night if I had paid out of pocket! The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. There was a bellman opening the door, everyone we interacted with was friendly and accommodating, and it was always easy to grab an Uber right outside the hotel. One feature I really liked was the little pantry in the lobby. It's basically a self-service convenience store stocked with local candy, snacks, wine, beer, and other treats. You scan everything yourself and can charge it directly to your room, which was super convenient. We used our HHonors stay credit to buy a small bottle of Washington State wine and some local chocolates. The hotel has a really fun music theme throughout, and the design is modern with a Scandinavian-inspired feel. As a Gen Xer, I thought the vibe was just plain cool without trying too hard. Our standard King room had huge windows, a spacious sitting area, and clean, minimalist European-style décor that felt fresh and comfortable. The hotel itself was also surprisingly quiet despite being located in an urban area, so we slept really well. The only disappointment was our view. It wasn't much to look at. I was secretly hoping for an upgrade, but no luck. Not a deal breaker, just a minor letdown considering one side of the hotel affords perfect views of the Space Needle. The location is excellent for sightseeing on foot. We walked to Pike Place Market in about 10 minutes, and the Space Needle was also around a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction. Just be prepared for Seattle's hills! They're no joke, and you'll be going up and down some very, very steep streets to get to the waterfront. There are also plenty of great restaurants, bars, shops, and coffee shops within easy walking distance. One thing I'd mention is that while we felt comfortable during the day, after dinner around 10:45 p.m. we decided to take an Uber back from the Pike Place Market area instead of walking back to the hotel because parts of the area felt a little sketchy at night. Seattle has a very serious problem with drug users and unhoused folks, and they can get a little scary. I feel so badly for them, but I also felt a lot safer in an Uber than trying to walk back in the downtown area that late at night. The Sound is a stylish, comfortable hotel with excellent service, a great location, and a fun personality. If you're a Hilton Honors member, it's an especially solid choice when Seattle hotel prices are high.

The front desk had a room available for me a little earlier than normal check-in and had wonderful suggestions for a little snack around the hotel. The room is much more spacious than pictures can show. I really enjoyed the two separate seating areas. The window area settee was the perfect place for a snack and using my laptop to prepare for the next day. The closet has more than just two hangers, which I appreciated being able to hang the clothes that needed to be hung and steamed later. The bed was soft, but not overly so and the charging options on the nightstand helped me keep some of my electronics packed and neat. Being in Downtown Seattle, I really didn't feel like I needed a car. The Sound is situated in a great place to just walk where I needed to go. Less than five minutes away from Westlake where I could catch either the monorail or Link, was very convenient for me. I enjoy walking around to get familiar with the area I'm in and there was so much to see!!! I will be back to The Sound for my next Seattle adventure!

Our last two nights of our journey were spent in Seattle at the Shafer Baillie mansion. I would highly recommend staying here. The location was great for getting to downtown and all around. It is close to the Cap Hill neighborhood with shops and restaurants. There is plenty of street parking in the vicinity. The mansion itself is part of what was known as Millionaire's Row. It was built in 1914 and has been well cared for over the years. When we came back from one evening out, we all gathered in the Library and set up some charcuterie and wine to share from our travels. It was so cozy sitting all together and chatting about our adventures. The rooms are historic with modern conveniences. Our room was the Queen Ann Hill. We slept soundly in our comfortable 4 poster bed. There was a helpful step stool for me to climb up as I am vertically challenged. It has original pushbotton light switches. It had a beautiful full length mirror. There was a flatscreen TV, but we had so many wonderful activities we did not use it. The bathroom was updated but still fit with the historic look. There were two showerheads in the tiled shower. Breakfast was lovely. I, personally, have a great deal of food allergies. There was ample selection that I was able to enjoy just as much as anyone else. There were breads and pastries, jams and spreads, yogurt and fresh berries, and a hot breakfast dish. Hard boiled eggs were available as well as cheeses and meats. There was a coffee bar that was available all day that also had tea and cocoa. We sat at the long dining table enjoying each others company and conversation. We got to meet some of the other guests which added to the experience. If we find ourselves back in Seattle, this is where I will want to stay.

    Was in an emergency car charging situation and they were so welcoming to a non guest bumming…read moreelectricity, can only imagine how they serve paying customers! Will definitely be staying here soon.

The greeters always opened the door for me, the check-in desk staff were courteous and always had a smile, and the checkout process was also quick and ended with an invitation to return to the property the next time I'm in Seattle. As soon as I stepped out of my Uber upon initial arrival, a staff member walked up to open my door and asked if I needed help with my bags. My room was comfortable in every aspect. The temperature controls worked great, the bed was very comfortable and had an adequate number of pillows, the bathroom was well-appointed, and everything was very clean. The bath towels were large, soft, and plush. The frosted door to the water closet was a nice touch for the sake of privacy if you were sharing the space with someone. The shower was not huge but it was more than adequately spacious for me. There were 2 robes hung in the bathroom (though I didn't use them). The small table and chairs near the window were convenient and comfortable to work from. The view from my room was very nice, especially during clear days when you can see the water and the mountains in the distance. The room was always well maintained after the typical morning cleaning as well as during turn down service. I appreciated the staff placing slippers by the bed and how they always nicely arranged my toiletries in the bathroom, replaced used towels with fresh ones, and even placed things on the table in the bedroom (like my charger, earbud case, eyeglass case, and so on) neatly for when I returned. The bar area at the back of the restaurant was a nice little area and had a table large enough for our group of around 8-10 to comfortably sit at while enjoying a nightcap. My breakfast the day I checked out was also high quality and my server Nathan was pleasant, timely, and honest about prep time of some items I wanted to order but was constricted due to a time crunch. In general, every staff member I encountered was pleasant, eager to help, and always smiled and made eye contact when speaking with me. All in all, I had a wonderful experience and have no complaints. This property is one of the top 2-3 Four Seasons hotels I have stayed at over the past several years. I would wholeheartedly stay here again!
