We spent three nights here and were overall pretty pleased; we were upgraded to a King-sized bed for free (and it's true; the beds are SUPER comfy) and enjoyed the decor and the iPod dock. The walls were a bit too thin for my liking, though; the first night it seemed like the people next door were in our room, talking and coughing and laughing for hours (I had to keep the TV on to drown them out). The next night it was much quieter, save for a dog that occasionally whimpered. The third night was completely quiet, which was nice. My only other complaint was that the sink drained very slowly, and you had to reach in to pull up the drain to make it drain faster (which is kind of gross when the sink is full of soapy or toothpaste-y water). The other weird thing is that they put a hold on your credit card for about $250 more than what you owe (sort of like a security deposit); if you use a debit card they'll automatically take out those funds, (you'll be reimbursed when you check out, minus whatever "incidentals" are applicable such as parking and mini bar usage), so beware. If you use a credit card it's fine because the extra charge never goes through. Overall a good stay; great central location and fun, modern look. I also appreciated that they were playing Death Cab for Cutie's first album when we checked in. read more

Hotel Max - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Huge thank you to Justin D. and team for making my co-worker's visit to Seattle so exceptional! So many had never been to Seattle and hearing them rave about how cool the rooms were and how great the location was made me beyond happy! THANK YOU! read more

The restaurant was closed the entire time of our stay and that was extremely disappointing due the the fact that this was a big part of why we were staying here. The mini bar in the room didnt have everything listed, not all of the plug in ports worked. After being disappointed by all of this we asked for drinks to be brought up to our room to at least try to make our own fun and we were denied this too. We were expecting breakfast that we ordered and found out when we woke up that we could not get that. We made the trip to come up here to enjoy ourselves and we were entirely let down. I cannot justify recommending this hotel to anyone, nor will I ever recommend it to anyone. read more

This is actually a very nice hotel. Well appointed, quality furnishings wherever you look. Checking in the young man spoke so fast he was hard to follow. I had a $400 hold placed on my credit card which having stayed in multiple hotels all around the world it is the highest I've ever seen. The location was very good although for some who have mobility issues they may have trouble navigating some of the steeper areas up Stewart street and around the area. We were able to ride the link train (just follow the signs at the airport when you see ground transportation)and there was a very nice employee that assisted us in purchasing our train tickets. They cost $3 for a one way trip (while Uber wanted almost $70!) from the airport and we walked our luggage through the streets to the hotel which wasn't excessively far but I'd say you need to be in decent physical shape. The bed was comfortable. The little extras I've come to expect like a blanket, pen and paper, extra tissue...go downstairs and ask for it. It was cold so we turned on the heater which cycled on and off and was so loud, made it difficult to sleep. If only we'd had blankets we could have saved the electricity. My spouse didn't tell me he had been freezing until after we left. I had to turn the heater off just so I could rest. It was fairly quiet, rarely met anyone in the hallway...the elevator was tiny, a good way to have it to yourself. Lovely view, from our window which is so important. Neighborhood was very walkable. There is a nice mall nearby. However on 3rd street we ran into a crowd of people nodding off on drugs...that was kind of scary as one minute everything was normal and felt safe and suddenly there they were, so avoid that street if you can. Otherwise I felt safe and the entire area was clean. Many tourist areas are within walking distance like Pikes Place, the waterfront etc...you really did not need a car. Pretty upscale location too. Recommend. read more

Don't be fooled by the bright pops of color(pillows, ottomans, blankets) shown in the photos. They don't have those anymore. I wish I would've read yelp reviews before staying here. I was in town for work and booked a King room at $232 a night. When I got to the room it was dark and dingy. No bathroom counter just a single metal round sink. I opened the blinds to find the windows were frosted to conceal the large ventilation pipes running by. Absolutely no natural light reaching that room, with grey walls and zero color(minus the red bathroom). The worst part was the room smelled like campfire. I inquired about the fire smell and the staff explained that it was the ventilation from the steakhouse Nextdoor. So for $232 a night all my clothes would smell like a campfire at my work event! They said they could upgrade me but not until the next day. They said it was a "more desirable room". Read as: the exact same room but 6 stories higher so I could actually see out the window. Same tiny size, where you can barely squeeze between the bed and tv stand. Same dark grey with zero color, no fun pops of pink and orange like on their website. This room had s tiny bathroom counter, though. So I had a place to put my toiletries. I ordered breakfast by their door hanger system and selected delivery between 7-715am so I could eat before work. At 720 I called asking where breakfast was and they said due to a computer error, it would be at least 30 more minutes. So they had to cancel my order. The staff is nice, but my "upgraded" room was where the cleaning staff left carts and piles of sheets on the floor overnight. Literally right outside the door. You aren't getting a cute boutique hotel, you're getting a glorified hostel and the high rates are paying for the free beer happy hour and free coffee in the morning. Also no lights in the closets, an extremely loud window heater, and stained carpets. My co-worker selected the Westin across the street and paid less for a nicer room read more

Hotel Max - My "king size" room @ $232 a night.the windows are frosted to block the giant ventilation system outside which made my room smell like fire - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I like my hotels fresh & clean, quiet, an onsite restaurant and easy to get in and out of. I'm giving Hotel Max one star because it is very noisy (including poor sound proofing of the building itself), the restaurant looks great but doesn't open until 8am and I need to be able to eat before I leave for work, and finally the hotel bathrooms are about as small as a phone booth. I did find my room clean, the bed is comfy and you can get a free beer in the lobby during happy hour. Overall, I would not be likely to stay here again with all the other options in the area. read more

Great and clean spot. Have a free craft beer happy hour. They have games during the happy hour which is freaking awesome. Good gym. Small hallway, but it's not like you're sleeping in it. Free gum balls and chill staff. Wish there were places to eat eat close by, but that's what Uber and your feet are for. read more

This review is long overdue. My husband and I stayed here when we got engaged back in February 2012 (on valentines day!). When we got back to our room after my husband popped the question, there was a card signed by the hotel staff & management as well as a complimentary bottle of champagne to congratulate us! The management and staff here are topnotch! They really took the time to go out of their way to make our engagement night perfect! So when we were planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to stay at the same hotel we stayed at when we got engaged for the night before and night of our wedding! The manager (Travis) was so helpful and so accommodating while my husband and I were trying to figure out how many rooms we needed, how many nights, etc. My maid of honor and I stayed here the night before the wedding, and got ready in the room on the morning of the big day. The room was plenty big to accommodate 2 bridesmaids, a bride, 2 hair/makeup artists, and 2 photographers on the morning of our wedding. The bathroom was small, but it's an old building; it's how buildings were designed back in the 1920's. On that note, if you're like me and can appreciate the modern elements added to a vintage, historical building in downtown Seattle, I highly recommend checking this place out. :) (I'll post pictures that our photographers took inside the hotel lobby & in our room asap!) read more

Overall, terrible experience. I checked in and immediately when I walked in I was greeted with a dirty bed, table, floor, ripped carpet and the room looked rough. Immediately I got on the phone with Chase because I knew I no longer wanted to stay there. They told me to head down and check out after I was tired of my flight. So I did. Nobody was at the counter & when I was there the receptionist was no help at all. They just said "oh so you're Kevin Expedia called" did not make eye contact or provide no information. I had to explain and verify that I was no longer staying and I even tried to return the key to them and was like for what. Honestly completely threw me off. I was looking for guidance and they failed to deliver. Additionally, the hotel would not pick up the phone after multiple attempts of our vendor requesting the refund. My vendor had to send them an email and it has been 3 days. This definitely puts a bad memory to my first visit to Seattle. read more

I had a great experience at Hotel Max. The location makes it easy to get to all the downtown sites. It's six blocks from Pike's Market and a quick walk to the monorail to Seattle Center. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff was very helpful. I booked a small room but didn't realize that the bathrooms were tiny. My original room had a step up to the tiny shower and toilet. I was worried about falling if I had to go to the bathroom at night. The staff was very accommodating when I requested a room change. I would definitely stay here again. read more

PROS: 1. We felt safe in the hotel - it was downtown but the street the hotel is on is nice - no sketchy people hanging out front, or in the alley (where we parked the car) or inside the hotel 2. Convenient location 3. Comfortable bed. Overall, an okay hotel - not great but not bad either. CONS: 1. no air ventilation in room- stuffy stale air. Windows don't open. Air con attached to window lets in a little air of you switch it to "fan only" but that doesn't help much. 2. Hotel parking lot was full (unfortunately hotels aren't required to provide enough spots, I guess) we had to download an app to pay to park in a dirty alley 3. We got the mini room and knew what to expect a room built for hobbits but the shower was ridiculously small about a 3 foot space. Even though I'm only 5 foot tall105 lbs -it felt really tight in the shower. read more

I've stayed at Hotel Max probably about 10-15 times in the past 5 years. It was one of my go-to places when I would go to Seattle for business. However, it's gone downhill. The last stay was 11/12/17. The staff was rude. I asked for a quiet room and they put me on the alley side - where trash is very loudly collected from dumpsters about 3 times during the middle of the night. I was woken up by clanging (like thunder) and beeping repeatedly from 3 AM to 5 AM. When I told a manager the next day, he just stared at me blankly. Also, the room smelled like a mixture of body odor and cigarette smoke, though it's supposedly non-smoking. The air conditioning unit blew out stale-smelling air -- the change vent light was on, but ignored by the hotel. The best thing about the hotel is the location. read more

Very small rooms but clean. No free coffee in the lobby because the machine was broken. The little room makers make awful stuff. They suggested to go to Starbucks or Miller's Guild. But they didn't offer to pay for it. Check in was a nightmare. read more

I'm giving this hotel 2 stars because the front desk associates were friendly but that's about it. The hotel looks nice on the outside, the hotel lobby is also nice. It has a style of rock & roll and the decor is nice. The elevators are terribly small and dirty, the room was absolutely disappointing. It's like walking into a completely different hotel compared to what the lobby looks like. We stayed here for 3 nights and not once did housekeeping attempt or offer to clean up our room and there are no signs stating you need to request for housekeeping as a lot of hotels did that during the peak of Covid. The bathroom smelt AWFUL the entire time, a stench of old sewage and cheap plastic. We had to keep the door closed at all times unless we were using the shower or bathroom as it stunk up the small room. The window air conditioning unit seemed to work when it wanted so it was stuffy mixed with the bathroom stench and the poor "decorations." All in all I would not stay here again. Also not a prime location if you want to explore Seattle and you didn't rent a car as we didn't but thankfully we didn't because overhearing a conversation from a hotel guest about their valet service, they were full and parking is expensive in Seattle regardless. read more

Can't say I am a fan of this place so far. Today is day 1 of 3. I booked the hotel a month ago and went with the option of roll out bed just in case a coworker wanted to attend the convention I was going to. I have also selected the option of early checkin and late check out. A week prior I contacted the hotel to be sure things were in order. I got a "everything is in order" response. The day of my arrival, I arrived at the hotel at 9 am since I flew out from my city at 7am. It is now 2:30pm and they still dont have a room available for me and telling me that they have a room garauntee before 4pm. What happens when it hits 4pm and I have no room I wonder. Well lets see what happens when that time comes around. Other than that, I do appreciate one of the workers giving me a beer on the house. read more

Great stay at Hotel Max. Super friendly staff and accommodations, clean room, and all around cool. The hotel is located central to everything (Pike Place Market, Space Needle, Seattle Waterfront). Checkout is at Noon which is awesome! Free beer from 5:30-6:30 in the lobby and there was an IPA waiting in the room upon arrival. Special thanks to my friend Eric who works at the Max as well as Hannah who checked us in/out. Thanks for making us feel at home! read more

Everything was a little sticky here. When you check in and rest your arms on the counter, you remove it feeling like you really really need to wash your hands/arms. I got charged for a day that my company had already paid for. Which is pretty straightforward, and a very basic task for a hotel to be able to keep straight. I also got charged for parking, when I never had a car or moved a car anywhere near the hotel. Also seems like a very elementary thing. Other than that, service was great and friendly. read more

We booked this hotel 'cause the price was right. Seemed very affordable for a large, metropolitan city. We had a queen sized room in the "sub pop" category. The description of the hotel is that it has a hip, rock and roll, artsy vibe. No, it doesn't. Yes, we had a record player and records in our room, but we didn't like any of the album selections. The rooms walls are so thin, I didn't want to inconvenience our neighbors by playing records. We spent so little time in our room, we had not interest in setting up and listening to records. The bathroom is too small. I flooded the sink and floor every time I washed my face. The shower rack holding the shampoo, etc is very awkward. The bottles are so small, and thin, they can't stand up and they fall through the slats of the rack. Ridiculous. There was interesting art on the walls of the lobby area, but that doesn't really add value. They serve complimentary beer in the lobby every day, and that was a nice feature. The lobby was always busy with people coming and going and we enjoyed meeting new people. Coffee was complimentary in the morning, too. It was delicious and lovingly prepared. The staff are sort of knowledgeable. Some could recommend restaurants, and come couldn't. The staff persons asks if you want to forego housekeeping for a $10 voucher. Don't do it. We signed up but didn't get the voucher and we really wanted fresh towels and trash cans emptied by the second day. The associated restaurant is very expensive. $220+ for steaks. Don't think we'll stay there, again. read more

Hotel Max your lobby slays me. Bubble gum, craft brews, and coffee for days. Great music. Rad windows, cool art, Sub Pop merch... Comfy beds, everything was quiet, etc. Great downtown location (which was actually very quiet over the weekend because the area is more of a business area). We could easily walk to Cornish School of The Arts, Children's Museum, Aquarium etc. Here's my main gripe...the shower had some weird looking tile grout. Either Hotel Max doesn't know about it, or they don't care. I think they probably care... so its room 220 guys. read more

Work (Amazon) paid for my stay, so rest assured I'm unbiased. Okay, maybe I am because they have craft brew HAPPY HOUR 5-6p! But that's everyone, right?! Rooms: MEDIOCRE. Small room, huge comfy beds (pillow menu!), mini fridge with okay selection of liquor, coffee and tea amenities. What got me was the bathroom. The shower was a light drizzle; your sink hose sprayer at home probably has more pressure and radius output. The tub was clogged so it was a 2-for-1 deal of shower plus bath! How ungrateful of me to complain. Anyhow, it gets better. On day freaking two the toilet seat broke and was on one hinge. This was quite uncomfortable for usage of longer than 2 minutes. I nor my work roomie weigh more than 135 lbs so it def was not us. Oh and the smell coming from the sink! It was a stale sewage smell I think caused by, you guessed it, being clogged. Swear they should provide a bottle of Drain-O with check-in. Service and Pros: -Check-in was seamless. They offer a credit to your room if you pass up daily cleaning. It's a great green option. -Happy Hour: coffee and tea 6-9am, craft beer (IPAs, and you can get more than 1!) 5-6p -The text service they offer really works. Our keys failed us two different nights (a Con) and they sent someone up asap. -Great location. Walked to Amazon Day 1 building everyday. Took about 8 minutes. -Held my bags after check out so I can head out for a bit before my flight. Hopefully the bathroom situation isn't the norm. Considering that I'd say book it if you don't mind the price. read more

This is a great little hotel in the center of Seattle. Just 20 minutes to the space needle, 15 minutes to Pike's market and the piers, close to the monorail. Its not a fancy hotel, but cute. They have free coffee in the lobby in the morning and free beer at night. The studio we stayed in was very comfortable and affordable. Staff was excellent. This is an unusual benefit, but when you get back from your site seeing, it takes only 30 seconds to get to your room. No long walks through big lobbies and long hallways. My wife was shocked at how quickly I went to Starbucks and back. The pillow menu is a plus. Its pet friendly, but not overrun by animals. Staff was excellent. read more

The hotel is located in a very convenient spot. Walking to Pike's is probably only 10-15 minutes away. It's also close to a lot of shopping area, so walking to places isn't a problem at all. They only have valet for $40, but there's parking nearby. We actually parked in the parking lot across the street. I believe it's less than $30 for 24 hours, but parking was limited there. The staff was very friendly. They gave us a map of the city and was very helpful about the area. They answered whatever questions we had on where to explore. The one thing that annoyed me was the space in the room. I felt like we barely had any space to open our suitcases. The room was pretty tight. Also, there was no counter space in the bathroom, so that was very inconvenient for me, especially when I was trying to get ready in the morning. There was a full length mirror in closet, but barely any light nearby, so it was also hard to get ready there. Cute hotel, but I don't think I will be coming back. read more

Great location, fun hip vibe (even if they're trying a bit too hard). Rooms are tiny little prison cells. Just enough room for the bed and various furnishings, however they neglected to allow room for the actual humans who would be staying in the rooms. No joke, expect to walk sideways between the wall/windows and your bed - the distance between the two is less than two feet. Our room was pretty beat up. 1980's window unit air conditioner (window unit!) has seen better days. All of the trim/furnishings/doors/etc all show scars from abuse, neglect and numerous touch ups with layers and layers of paint. Bathrooms are coffins with plumbing. Be careful to not hit your head on the sink when sitting down to take a dump. Similar to the rest of the room, it's incredibly cramped and difficult to move around in. Soft goods (towels, sheets) are thin and worn - stuff you'd expect to find in a knackered Best Western. Rates this summer weekend are in the high 300's for this room. I've stayed in nicer places for less in Hong Kong and NYC. This room should be in the low 200's, and theres no excuse for the window AC unit in this day 'n age. read more

Stayed here 3 nights for a business trip. I love the boutique hotels that offer something different than the standard hotels. This nouveau boutique hotel with a cool Rock vibe that promotes local artist is just that. I loved everything about it. My room was small but very nice, bed was plush and comfy, the staff is awesome and always available to take care of your every need. They even provide guests with a direct text number for quick answers to any questions. They also offer record players and a catalog of records for guest to borrow for their rooms during their stay. The restaurant offers delicious cuisine not found in your average eatery. I highly recommend the Honeynut squash soup. I will definately be staying here again. read more

It may seem surprising that a 45 year old prosecutor would thoroughly enjoy her stay at this hipster-esque hotel, but I did. The staff was the shining light of my stay. They were super helpful, provided suggestions, and showed me how to navigate Seattle's public transportation. The room was small but met all of my needs. It was clean, and when I opened the shades, bright. Large squishy pillows that could double as body pillows, and there were four of them. Plenty of outlets for all the devices. The bathroom is a bit snug, but the water pressure in the shower was perfect. I highly recommend, and I would stay there again. The location was great, as it was walkable to a lot of tourist attractions. read more

What a cool hotel! Yes, the room and bathroom were small, but I was going to sleep in the room, not play field hockey. Old, downtown hotels anywhere are usually small. The decor is simply incredible! Every part of the hotel had some unique modern art, including the lobby, front desk, hallways, doorway, guestroom, bathroom, etc. This is a great place to stay in Belltown Seattle, within walking distance of the monorail, Belltown bars/restaurants, Pike Place. A very unique upscale hotel, but not upscale in a pretentious way. I stayed there 2 nights, it was worth every penny! read more

There is so much right about this hotel that the wrongs (which are pretty big) are still overcome. Wrongs first... Not sure what any previous hotel here was like but what the heck did HM do with the closets? We were put in one room first and I was shocked by the closet. Truly it is not even that. All the hangers are hung on a diagonal as the depth of the closet is about 12 inches. Honestly. I am not kidding. It was really more a display case for the robes and ironing board. We hung a couple of light jackets, and that maxed out the space. The first room was king room, and the bed pretty much took up all the space in the room. There was not enough room to put our second suitcase ANYWHERE! So we asked to be moved. No problem. But we would have to wait until the next night. Ugh. We were on the sixth floor and our window faced the side of a large hotel on the next street. Well that hotel's hallway had a very bright light that was quite disturbing to our sleep. Our second room was on 10th floor. It was quite nice. Still quite small but that was ok. And though we were not on the side of hotel that had a view of the Space Needle we were happy enough. The shower was in a separate room from the toilet/wash basin. That was strange but whatever. And there was still a strange "closet". I have traveled in Europe so I have been in small rooms before but I honestly have never seen anything like these closets. What was right? The people!!!!! From the terrific young men manning the valet area (who remembered us and asked if we needed any help with directions etc every time we left the hotel) to the front desk, the staff was superlative. I have to mention that the hotel is totally artsy and has a clientele that struck me as either cool hipsters or cool corporate travelers. We were neither. Just some traveling retirees. But that made no difference in our treatment. And that is not something you find everywhere. Honestly. Ageism does exist. But the staff at HM minded their manners and respected their elders. Props! Also, can't beat the location. We were close to all the sites in town or we were close to the public transportation that could take us to them. Next, the bed was comfy comfy comfy. I still miss it. Plus the decor was high end. With lots of intriguing artwork. Lastly, the price can't be beat. So stay at Hotel Max next time you travel to Seattle. Just remember to pack lightly! PS: We had no problems with noise whether from outside or other rooms. And no odor issues. So I can't address those issues that others seem to have. read more

My company set me up with this when I was on a recent spree of flights and company meetings.This hotel has great location when it comes to the downtown Seattle area, and this very much helps if you need to be in the area, rather than driving in. Nice parking lot across the street, you don't find that in downtown a lot... The bar had good drinks, ok price. It is very close to Amazon. I had a great stay overall. read more

I've stayed at better places for less money. SMALL room, room light worked the first night, and didn't work after that. There was one helpful staff guy, and one that was honestly just rude and Unhelpful. read more

Last weekend, I decided to book Hotel Max for a staycation. My first impression of the hotel was that they have beautiful modern decor in the lobby and the halls. If you are looking for a spacious hotel with big bathrooms, this hotel is not the one. I did not expect the bathroom to be that tiny. The bathroom was basically a rectangle. LOL. Other then my bathroom complaint, comfortable beds and very well maintained. And also, their daily rates are very affordable compared other hotels in the Seattle area. I would definetly stay with Hotel Max again! read more

Horrible experience! Booked through Hotwire and my flight got in late so rather than having my friend, who had generously offered to pick me up from the airport and had work early the next day, drive me to downtown Seattle I crashed at their place. I went to Hotel Max first thing the next day and they informed me that they had cancelled my entire stay and charged a no show fee! Rather than helping me out with the situation they had me rebook directly through them while Hotwire just pocketed my cash. Truly the worst travel/accommodation experience I have ever had. On top of this the room is extremely meh and downtown Seattle has really gone downhill as of late. Lots of vagrants in the immediate area surrounding the hotel read more

I love how they've remodeled this hotel and made it modern and contemporary. I come to Seattle very often to visit Amazon and I choose to stay at Hotel Max just about every trip! Tip: the best rate I've found for booking Hotel Max has been with Hotel Tonight. Oh, and the next cool benefit, the Miller's Gould is attached to the hotel. Check my review of the Miller's Gould, that place is awesome! At the end of the day, if you're looking for a hotel versus VRBO, then I absolutely recommend you check out Hotel Max! read more

I'm staying in the hotel right now and I want nothing more than to check out now, even though I'm booked for two more nights. The location is great. The rooms are fine. The staff is awful. I waited 30 minutes for valet. He wasn't particularly apologetic either. While I was waiting I asked a girl with long blonde hair and a septum piercing for help and she was rude and useless. I don't even know what she actually does here and she probably doesn't either. The girl at the front desk seemed like she didn't even want to help me. The wifi here is actual shit. It's just not a good experience. I'd much rather be at the Westin or anywhere else downtown. I've actually asked other people around if they liked it just in case I was maybe being negative and the other responses are grim too. This place has so many opportunities to be excellent but the staff is so poorly trained in hospitality and even basic professionalism that I want to leave here and my first night isn't even over yet. read more

Please check your bathtub there was hair in mine, air condition has tons of mold, not to memtion 3 days of very very little hot water for shower, their look by area can use a complete makeover, the floor hallways could use more lighting, I felt like I was in a scary house read more

Wanted to love this place, but sadly I can't justify recommending anyone stay here. Wifi is terribly unreliable and the rooms are pretty cramped. On a positive note, the beds are comfortable and walkability is convenient. But what really brings it down is how much you're paying for how little you're actually getting. The cost would be worth it if the quality was there, but that sadly isn't the case. Sorry Hotel Max, it's a no go for me. read more

Solid 3.5 to 4 stars. Stayed here over the weekend. Overall good location. About a 5 minute walk to the monorail station. Close to a lot of shopping. If you are wanting to do more on the waterfront, you have about a 15-20 minute walk. Our room was right by the elevator which was ok. I could hear it running during the night. Close to a lot of different restaurants. The vibe of the hotel is really awesome. We loved the rock and roll theme. Beds were really comfortable. They have a pillow menu so you will get the perfect sleep. Hallways are narrow and elevators are small so be prepare to make friends on the rides. About a 8 dollar uber ride from King Street Station. Walked back from Safeco Field after a concert which took about 30 minutes. Will be staying again read more

There is customer service and then there is Customer Service. Working through a mix-up at check-in, the front desk and customer service team showed what it is all about - honesty, integrity, communication and action. Outstanding customer service with a smile. Thank you Melissa and co-worker. For anyone coming to Seattle for business or pleasure, stay at Hotel Max and enjoy kind, personal service in a nice, friendly and artistic environment. The restaurant is really good, too! read more

We used a groupon to stay overnight in Seattle and, to put it lightly - you get what you pay for. The lobby is nice enough, with the restaurant Miller's Guild attached and providing room service. There's valet service out front for $50 a night, but you can use one of the paid parking lots nearby for around $30 overnight. Customer service was exceptional. I want to call out the front desk agent Melissa who went above and beyond to accommodate a few extra requests I had (helping surprise a friend with balloons and cake in her hotel room) and was very helpful in providing information about the hotel. The rest of the hotel is... definitely dated. The elevators are so small they can only accommodate two people comfortably at a time. The rooms are similarly pint sized, but include a mini fridge, bathroom and tv. The bed was comfortable but the furniture was in rough shape and looked like it belonged in a dorm room rather than a hotel. The windows don't have any screens on them so leaving it open allowed chances of pests to come inside. Overall, I think the hotel acknowledges the lack of finer accommodations and tries to make up for it by offering amenities like free beer/wine during happy hour. Not the nicest hotel in Seattle by far but will work in a pinch. read more

We stayed at Hotel Max during our visit to the beautiful Seattle and had a very good time. We were lucky to not have anyone next door so it was very quiet although we were disturbed our first night by the constructions from the building down the block. Nevertheless, the hotel did provide us with ear plugs and luckily I only needed to use it our first night there. From our experience, there were more pros than cons but in the end, Hotel Max still deserves 5 stars for their top-notch service and location. Pros: Very close to literally everything you would want to do in Seattle. The Space Needle, Chihuly Garden, Museum, library, pier, aquarium, Taylor Shellfish Farm, Elliot's Oyster House and Pike Place were all walking distance from the hotel. The staff were amazing and so welcoming. From the time we arrived, to our visit at the bar, to their free beer daily event and our check out. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Their decor!! So chic and modern. We really enjoyed their comfy couches with all of the board games they had available for us to play with while we relax with our drinks. Free beer sample from local breweries daily from 5-6. We made it to one and has coffee flavored beer and it was very.. interesting. Lol. $5 credit a day to spend on things in the room if you skip on housekeeping services. They had a lot of drinks like alcohol, coconut water, soda, chips, candies.. etc. We did that and used our credit on water and coconut juice. It's also a good way to be green and save the environment! :) They allow pets!! We didn't bring our little guy but it would be awesome since I've seen pictures of what their sleeping quarter looks like. Con: Just ONE but might be the one that matters for some people. Their rooms are tiny! SF is known for their tiny hotel rooms but our room at Hotel Max was even smaller than the one we had in Union Square. My boyfriend and I didn't have enough space to open our suitcases all the way and we had medium sized suitcases. I didn't mind since we weren't in our hotel much but their restroom is also very very tight. The shower was so small that it was difficult for me to maneuver around and there's no where to get ready so I just got ready on the bed since there's a mirror on the wall above the bed. Regardless of the major con, I still think this hotel deserves a 4.5-5 star rating because of their service and amenities. I can't blame them for the structural aspect of the hotel since everything is stated on their website. So in conclusion, if you don't mind the tight space, Hotel Max is a great place to stay during your visit to Seattle. Oh and one last tip. Parking is horrible in Seattle in terms of their prices but if you park literally across the street from the hotel it's $37/day instead of $40 for valet from the hotel and you have to wait for them to get your car. Or if you can make it before 10 for the early-bird special, the parking structure (same one as the apartment building) on the left side of the hotel (if you turn left when exiting the hotel) is cheaper. read more

Awful place for 560 a night plus 33 to self park! Minus 5 stars if I could! They did not include bottled water for that price! Room looks like a 50 year old motel 6, tons of bums walking around cussing and hassling you for money had to call 911 on one, Seattle should be ashamed of themselves and this hotel is truly awful! read more
