After booking, we got a comprehensive email setting expectations and answering any questions we might have had. We arrived a little after the 11pm deadline but David the owner proactively reached out to see if we landed a stayed up to give us a warm welcome. The rooms are cute and quiet with their own bathroom. Daily breakfast is a nice perk because it is is light and freshly cooked so a nice way to grab a bite and still have enough room for brunch. There is also a bowl of fresh fruit accessible at all times.

What a hidden GEM. We stayed in the Garnet Room on the third floor…read more PROS: I wish I could give this place more stars based on customer service. Melanie and Tom were great. They were super friendly and helpful. They also cooked delicious breakfasts. We met David on our last day and he was super nice and welcoming. Centrally located at Capitol Hill. Near the train station and the bus. We walked late at night and never had an issue. Walking distance to lots of restaurants and the park. They gave us a list of restaurants and a map. CONS: The only issues I did have were that there were so many stairs. We personally did not mind it- my mom does walk slowly up and down stairs, but for someone else, this could be an issue. The bed was too firm to my liking, but other people might not mind it. Low water pressure in the bathroom. Overall, I would stay here again if I visited Seattle.

You can't ask for a nicer accommodation on Capitol Hill. The owner, Melodee, told us this B&B was…read morethe first in Seattle and that's easy to believe. This accommodation screams "B&B" from it's old-school exterior charm to the warm, cozy rooms, fireplace, comfy beds and breakfast with fellow travelers. With a location just across the street from a great and green park, Mildred's sits on the Seattle bus route for an easy 10 minute ride downtown. Local eateries line 15th Avenue within walking distance. I don't know about you but once you've enjoyed all the hospitality of a fine B&B, you never want to go back to the Radisson or Best Western. Fresh baked cookies were always there, next to the tea cart, awaiting your itchy little fingers. P.S., do NOT look for any signs identifying the house as "Mildred's" for they do not exist. This will be my first lodging consideration on my next visit north.

Access is…read moreSeattle's good bus system is literally at the front door. 10 or 15 minute bus ride to downtown. The house is across from the beautiful Volunteer Park. You can walk to dinner at a variety of restaurants. And, you will want to walk the neighborhood which is just about as beautiful as they get. The B&B is beautiful and owned and run for many years by Melody, who is a lovely person, The place is comfortable, well-appointed, and laid back. Fine breakfast. There's a cat. Very nice cat. Do avoid if you have a cat allergy. We don't. Would absolutely stay here again and again if we have an opportunity to return.

The location, right on Green Lake, is a tranquil, peaceful neighborhood. The home itself is old fashioned in style, yet modern with a recent remodel. The place is immaculate, homey, with cozy rooms and a generous living room with books and board games. We like staying in the Greenlake room, and I love the giant whirlpool tub! Our hosts, Julie and Blayne, have been running their B&B for 15 years, and they have it down to a science. Easy booking, an app to manage your stay, easy to communicate with as well. Our welcome wine and snacks await us in our room, along with forms to tick off choices for our custom breakfast. Julie is a fabulous chef. The omelettes, granola, breads and desserts are all made by Julie from scratch. I cannot emphasize how lovely it is to sit in the breakfast nook, looking out the window at the beautiful trees and the lake, birds circling the bird feeder. Picturesque, quaint, just absolutely serene. Sometimes, over breakfast, we will ask Julie for advice on where to go, how to get there, and there's also a whole list of recommendations on their site and printed out in our room. There are many great things nearby just within walking distance, including our favorite places to eat. Some people like to be on the go on vacation, but we like to take it easy. Even if we get busy sightseeing, we always want to come back to a place that's relaxing, and Greenlake Guest House is perfect for that. Sometimes in the afternoon we go down to the parlor to read books (great collection), or pop up to the mini fridge to grab a drink. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else when we're in Seattle! It's home away from home, but even better. We were sad when we had to cook and clean our own breakfast back home!

I was planning my birthday trip out to Seattle and was looking for places to stay. I was looking up…read morehotels and none just stood out to me. Ever since staying at a B&B in Napa, I ended searching for one in Seattle and stumbled upon Greenlake Guest House. I checked availability, what they offer and so forth and grew too love it and wanted to book our stay with them! Julie our host was so amazing! She was kind and attentive! When we arrived she gave us a tour of the house and showed us to our room! There is a community fridge with water and sodas as well as a Keurig for coffee or tea. There was a welcome basket and bottle of wine that was provided with our stay. Julie told us that we can use their contactless app to put in our breakfast order or utilize the sheet that was provided. She told us that we can pick as little or as much as we wanted. I read great reviews on her homemade granola and definitely had to try it! After breakfast they would give you the sheet to choose breakfast for the next day. Everyday there's something different and everything that we had tried has been delicious! They bake fresh cookies everyday and you have the option to request for them on the menu and if you need your room cleaned. Julie and her staff were all so amazing to us during our stay! We really enjoyed our time here and appreciate their hospitality! Will definitely stay again whenever we visit again!

Unfortunately, there were a few issues with my stay. The bathroom and bed sheets were not clean…read morewhen I checked in. There was a significant amount of hair on the pillowcase as well as on the sheet underneath. It didn't seem like the room had been prepared at all for our stay, and I'm unsure if the sink, toilet, and shower had been properly cleaned and sanitized. I was also quoted $187 over the phone and understood that to be the total price. I didn't have an option to book online since the google listing stated that I need to call the hotel directly to book. When I checked the charges the morning after, I noticed additional taxes had been added, which came out to an additional $30. Since I was specifically comparing prices in the area and was considering another option that was less than $187 including taxes, knowing the full price upfront would have affected my decision. It felt dishonest and wouldn't stay here again bc of this lack of transparency Overall, the lack of cleanliness at check-in and the unexpected additional charges were both disappointing and could have been avoided with better attention to detail and clearer communication. The wife was pleasant though, and that was a positive part of the stay. Edit: wow I'm so disappointed at how the owner responded to not just the message I sent him, but to this review that I posted on google. It's funny that he calls me a scammer and that I posted a fake review when I have the receipt to show when I stayed at the property and he's been boasting via text how many 5-star reviews he has, yet is so bothered by this one. Many of the positive reviews seem fake - I work in marketing and can tell based on the frequency and the content of the reviews whether or not they are genuine. HE HAS 4.8 STARS ON GOOGLE FROM FAKE REVIEWS, not bc he has an honest business. He got two more positive reviews in the last 24 hours to make up for this one negative review. Pretty sus for a tiny hotel with limited rooms. Hilarious that he calls this a fake review when he pays for his. So believe every negative review on here bc that is the true reflection of what it's like to do business with this owner. I notified him 45 minutes after bc I didn't want to bother him while he was cleaning the bathroom. You can see the timestamp that literally messaged him about the hair one minute after he notified me that the bathroom was cleaned. We spent about an hour unable to relax and wind down after a long day of walking around the city while our bathroom was getting cleaned and sheets being replaced. Also know that the home is set up like a dorm, where the bathroom is either shared or on a completely separate floor. Very different from what you'd expect from an actual hotel, and feels more like a hostel. In our initial conversation, he never mentioned that it was a subtotal or pretax amount that he was quoting me, and only the morning after I messaged him, did he respond to let me know that it was the subtotal price that I was quoted. I highly recommend seeing the other negative reviews, as they indicate how money hungry Ryan is. I never requested a full refund, only the taxes which he failed to mention which I think is very reasonable, but he went on about his 5-star reviews that he paid for lol. He apparently charges people $15 for a parking pass, without letting them know that parking is not guaranteed. I didn't see one parking spot open in my walk around the neighborhood at 9pm which confirms the disappointment in the other reviews. LACK OF TRANSPARENCY = DISHONESTY and he fails to understand this! I attached my receipt showing proof of my stay, and the messages between us to show proof that I'm not a scammer, since Ryan seems to have a habit of gaslighting people reading the reviews. He certainly lives up to the name of his hotel. If you have ANY hiccups during your stay, don't expect him to be compassionate as he runs his business like a big corporation with a cold heart rather than a small business, lacking an ounce of compassion or accountability even when they are a result of his own mistakes and dishonesty.

If you have mobility issues, this is not an option for you.

I was told that I had a $10 credit to use in the restaurant Tulio or on lobby snacks. What I didn't know was that it would've been deducted from a $100 deposit, and not applicable as a standalone credit. Fine, whatever, again. Had I known that though, I would've gone to a restaurant or bar that had TV's so I could watch the World Cup match that was going on at the time. There were no TV's at all in the attached Tulio restaurant. So I just sat, doodling on my phone, in old wooden decor of the restaurant staring back at me. Pivoting to the room now, it was weird. My TV didn't work but it was only a one night stay. So again, fine, whatever. My bathroom was big, bright, modern, and clean, but stepping back into the bedroom felt like time travelling to the 1960's with dated furniture and decor. I get it: it's "vintage," but quite jarring to see. Saying all this, the two saviors to this Kimpton were the bed and pillows! I like a stiffer pillow and mattress because I'm a weirdo like that, but I would've given this Kimpton on 5th a 1-star had it not been for the comfy bed and pillow. Really unforgettable on everything from customer service to hotel look and feel. But would I return here again? Yeah, if the price is right. Great location too. Otherwise, go somewhere else.

First impression of this hotel, a bit outdated with a touch to disconnection. However, the second…read morepart was proven wrong. I arrived later than usual for a typical check in. Upon getting here, I was greeted from across the lobby from the lady at the front desk. Checking in was a breeze. Went through the motions and soon enough I had my key in hand and I was off to the room. One of the things to note here, the elevators are slow. There are only one bank of elevators, two shafts. They can take forever to arrive to whatever floor you may be on. Keycard is needed to access your floor and they are a bit small. You may have to get the next car depending on the time of day. The hallways to the rooms are a bit weird. They kind of give off a late 80s/early 90s vibe and are quite dimly lit. Maybe a bit more lighting would be good here, or at least newer bulbs. The other thing is that the ice machine is in the main hallway. Threw me for a curve here every time I heard someone getting ice. Not to mention that you might have to make multiple trips to ice machine given the size of the ice bucket. The room itself, when you walk in, gives off a calming feel to it. I had what they called a city view room with a king bed. It was a decent sized room for my stay. Even if it may have been a bit deceiving. The most deceiving part of the room was the window. The curtains cover just about the entire wall when there is a single window behind the curtains. If you were to open the curtains the whole way, you would show more of a wall than you would of a window. My view of the city wasn't bad, but I saw more rooftops than the streets. I also had direct line of sight into the office building that adjoined the hotel in this block. Huge plus side in here was the mini fridge. Really made for an added bonus. There was ample storage in the room. A small closet for your garments that needed hung up, more than enough drawers. and a suitcase holder. Desk for working, chair for relaxing. But the lacking part here was the fact that there weren't many options for plugging things in. I mean, there were, but it was your untraditional outlets. They ran across the baseboard of the entire room and you had to figure out where you were going to plug things in if you needed to. No outlets connected to the bedside lamps, only USB connections on the clock. One plug and a dated ethernet cable on the desk lamp. I had trouble understanding this, but made it work. Bathroom had this retro feel. Old school tub, sink and toilet. Kind of gave it a charming feel. The tub was big enough to take a relaxing bath. Which was nice because the water pressure wasn't the best but did the job. The tub was weird to use. Like they had the wrong fixture to use. Instead of a knob, it was a lever. And to get the shower on you had to pull out on the faucet instead of up. Just an odd thing. If you don't do this upon entry to the room. Read the memo they leave on the desk. Mostly just a rundown of the rules of the hotel, but this is where you find there are two bottles of water in the mini fridge for your consumption, and it's free. So bypass those $4 bottles of water sitting on the desk. While here, I also got a note under the door that they were going to be running fire alarm drills. Thankfully I was out of the hotel for this. The location of this place is amazing. Completely connected to everywhere you want to be and go. Short walk to both the light rail and monorail. A few blocks from the waterfront. Shopping and dining all around. I was able to make this a starting and end point each day. Every time you stepped back into the hotel you were welcomed back by whomever was working the front desk. Next time around, if I come back and opt to stay here, I might choose a different style room as there seems to be better options for that.

I was celebrating just recovering from surgery. A charming young woman greeted me and asked her more senior fellow employment to help with processing the gift card. A humorless man name Juan walked up and said "We might not grant gift cards if we're at 90% occurpancy". No smile, no hello. Cold as ice. He then spent 20 minutes trying to figure out the gift card and eventually said "We don't support this gift card anymore." The card didn't have an expiration date on it but I guess their computer system couldn't figure it out. So system wins, customer loses. Person who paid $500 for the gift card - screwed. My advice to Mayflower: Hire friendly people. Update your gift card rule. My advice to young woman: Get another job. You have the personality and can double your pay at any restaurant in town.
