I love this hotel as it remains my go to hotel for downtown Seattle when I travel in this area. Its central location to downtown and the clean classy vibe it exudes makes for an enjoyable stay each time. In Automtive Engineering you learn early on that details matter and this business definitely focuses on the details from their brass accented fixtures, their upscale toiletry products, there period perfect light fixtures, selection of wall paper etc , throws you back to the 1920's era where all the small details complement each other so well making for much more enjoyable stay. Definitely a superior hotel that you should consider next time your travels take you to downtown Seattle. read more

First impression of this hotel, a bit outdated with a touch to disconnection. However, the second part 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. read more

What a lovely hotel! I would definitely stay here again. The beds were super comfortable, the staff were kind, and, although it's older, it is well maintained. It's in the perfect spot in Seattle, sharing a block with Westlake Center. 10 out of 10 walkability! I will be back. read more

We stayed at the Mayflower before a cruise out of Seattle. After exploring hotel options in downtown Seattle we found the Mayflower to be a great value. After arriving at 10:30 am we were able to store our luggage at the hotel. They told us we would try to get a room ready ASAP. We went to lunch and got a call the room was ready. The hotel is around a 100 years old so everything is more eloquent than hotels today. We had a nice room with a king size bed. The air conditioning worked well and the bed comfortable. Naturally you had Starbucks coffee in your room. The only downside was the two elevators for the whole hotel. Very small and you need to wait 10-15 minutes to bring your luggage down. What complicated for our stay only one elevator was in service. read more

Room was quite dirty! I was tired from traveling and didn't notice right away. But this is just a couple spots - there was more dirt. I paid almost $300 a night for this. I've sent a couple emails hoping the issues will be addressed for the next guest but have heard no response. I absolutely do not recommend! read more

The property is beautiful! They are very strict about checking in at 4, therefore, there is a bottleneck.. then they complain they're swamped at the front desk. Only two elevators and one is out of service. The rooms are beautiful and bed is comfortable. But for the price I'm not sure I would choose this hotel again. read more

I love recommending this beautiful hotel. Large rooms, friendly staff, and very convenient location near Pike Place, the waterfront, and the light rail. read more

This hotel was in down town and within walking distance from the farmers market, the monorail, the fiery boats and many restaurants. The staff was so helpful, the service at the restaurant was great. We stayed in the suite as a family of five, 3 kids and 2 adults. It is an older hotel but that's what we liked about it. It felt safe and I loved our stay. read more

Had a brief business trip downtown. The hotel is centrally located in downtown. The hotel is a quick walk to the light rail from the airport (Westlake Station near hotel). Room is vintage and the whole building has a historic feel. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Plenty of outlets (mostly along the floor boards). WiFi worked great. The bar in the lobby (Oscar's) was great. Cool atmosphere and affordable snacks and cocktails. read more

overall, I really enjoyed this day. We got a room at the separate bedroom and 2 bathrooms. It comes the small refrigerator. We had to rent to microwave. They do have an attached bar/restaurant, which is nice. Everyone they are super nice. They have some coffee downstairs in the morning for free. The room is pretty clean. It is an older hotel so there's some dated couches and furniture and windows. It's got some charmed though. I did like that. The service was great. I do think it's pretty expensive for what it offers, valet parking is $55 a day. Renting the microwave is $10. We did order some breakfast one morning and it was OK but not amazing....but pricey. That's the only reason I knocked it one star. Everyone there was super nice and the service is stellar. The beds were comfortable. read more

What a great hotel in a great location! We walked to monorail, shopping, restaurants and Pike Place Market. All are within 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your pace. We arrived early and they were kind enough to hold our luggage while we walked about and checked out Pike Place Market for a few hours. When we returned, we retrieved our luggage and check in was a breeze. The room was comfy and well appointed. Coffee maker, mini fridge, bar glassware. The sofa could have used cleaning or updating but we never used it. The bathroom also offered nice products. Enjoyed breakfast downstairs at "Oliver's" one morning. It was a much larger portion than expected and delicious. No fancy coffee but sometimes it's humbling...and guess what...it was hot and tasty! read more

There are no words to describe how pleased I was with my stay at the Mayflower Park Hotel. Starting with the location: The Hotel is around the block from the light rail station, which meant I could take it from (and to!) the airport for $3, versus the $80+ it would have cost to Uber/Lyft. The general area is surrounded by very high end shops (Nordie's, All Saints, YSL, etc.) and is incredibly safe/patrolled. Even though the hotel clearly caters to a more well-heeled crowd than I, I never once was made to feel awkward or odd. Every person that I spoke to/dealt with was exceedingly friendly and helpful. Extra special shout outs to Hezekiah and Richard at the concierge for tolerating my incessant questions/requests with grace, and Sebastian and Jessie at the valet, for always having a friendly smile, helpful suggestion, or just general encouragement. Oh, and Alvin (?) in engineering who sprang to my aid. I would 100% stay here in the future if I'm ever afforded the opportunity. The room was quiet, well-appointed, and impeccably kept. Yes, it is an older hotel, so if your looking for something more tech forward, perhaps look somewhere else, but for those that appreciate the old world class of a boutique European style hotel, definitely check this out. I did check out the fitness room, which was actually a lot bigger than I expected, but I didn't use it because I walked all over that beautiful city!! 11/10. No notes!! read more

Mayflower Park Hotel is in a fantastic location in Downtown Seattle, especially for what we wanted to do during our time there! We only had a one night stay here last week in order to catch a Mariners game and visit the famous Pike Park Market (The fish market). (+) Fantastic location! You are in a very short walking distance to food options, a CVS, and a light rail station! The light rail made it VERY easy and convenient to go to and from the Mariners game for only $3 each! What a bargain! Plus, we took the light rail straight from SeaTac Airport to the stop that was a 3-minute walk to our hotel for just $3 each! Sweet! Plus, from our hotel to the Ball Park and back was only $2.25 each (each way)! On top of all of that, you are literally a 7-minute walk to Pike Place Market! (+) The hotel is an older, historic hotel! It had a lot of old school charm to it and I'm so glad I didn't necessarily go with one of its newer and glossier counterparts. (+) Service was very good! From the doorman to the front desk, everyone was so friendly and helpful! (+) I am very happy with the room we had there. We had a room with 2 Queen beds, but also 2 full sized bathrooms! This was tremendously convenient! The room was clean, well-stocked (plenty of full-sized towels!) , and on a high floor. It also came with a fantastic view of Downtown Seattle! Since our visit was brief, I was not able to enjoy Olivers, but we loved our time in Seattle so much, I can see us visiting Olivers next time! I would absolutely recommend the Mayflower Park Hotel for its fantastic location and great service in the heart of Seattle! 4 solid stars! read more

We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel and the care of the staff. Our room was clean well deck and had a good view. They took good care of our car and charged us $56 a day. It took them 15 minutes to go get our car but they warned us when we dropped it off This place is well located close to the train They gave complimentary umbrellas on rainy days, I liked that. We normally stay the Westin but found the Mayflower to be cheaper but just as nice. read more

The Mayflower is an absolute gem. Not only is it one of the only independently owned hotels left in Seattle, but it has been around for close to 100 years! I found that it felt very warm and inviting throughout rather than evoking the sterile, corporate feel (from both the employees and decor) that one tends to experience at larger chain hotels. The rooms have been renovated, possibly recently, but there are definitely vintage touches such as crown molding and pedestal sinks, just to name a few. They even had stationary in the room, which is rare to find these days and brings to mind hotels I have stayed at in years past. They also have a doorman, which was a neat touch and makes me think of East Coast or even European hotels. I was also quite surprised at how quiet the rooms were, given how the Mayflower is located in the heart of downtown. Having visited Seattle a few times, I have stayed at hotels nearby that were much noisier. For fitness-minded people, they do have a gym with a few cardio machines, dumbbells that go up to 30 lbs, and a bench. It's not a large gym but it's extremely convenient to keep up with one's cardio or weight routine without having to leave the hotel. I also wanted to give a shoutout to Steven for being extremely kind and welcoming to everyone. He truly knows what good customer service is and that it's not just the rooms or amenities that make guests want to come back, but how they're treated. read more

made a return visit to Seattle to visit friends and was very pleased with my stay at the Mayflower. I chose a corner suite, which was perfect for a four night stay. The suite was spacious, like a small apartment (without the kitchen). Bed was very comfortable. There was plenty of hot water, even on the 12th floor. I love the ambiance of this historic hotel. The service was, for the most part, excellent. Housekeeping, doormen, restaurant staff were all warm and welcoming. The only exception was a couple of staff at, of all places, reception. Upon check in Ashley seemed almost sullen. She mumbled, did not smile and there was no sense of being welcomed to the hotel. On check out there was a similar experience with the man at the desk. I did not get his name as, oddly, staff do not wear name tags. I will say that Steven, the manager was very nice and helpful. The hotel takes security seriously as a key card is needed to access the elevator and all floors. Main access has 24 hour staff. The fitness center has two bikes, a treadmill, elliptical, bench, some free weights and a yoga mat. Small, but serviceable. As others have mentioned the location is very walkable to Pike Market and the waterfront. There are only a few breakfast restaurants in the area and most are very busy. read more

This is our go-to when we're in town for opera, music, etc. Pros Great location Comfy beds Wonderful suites (we like 707 - two queens and two baths with a separate sitting room) Fabulous bar (Olivers's) with bartenders who know their stuff. Great path to tank up with excellent snacks Good Spanish-themed restaurant, Analuca, attached with good food. Great helpful staff Cons Do not get a room facing 4th Ave. Horribly noisy all night. Rooms elsewhere (facing Olive or Westlake Center), paradoxically, unusually quiet for rooms in the city. read more

Very nice people, very helpful, beautiful room, and gave me a free drink. Beautiful building in general actually. The elevators and hallways were easy to navigate and very convenient. Everything about this hotel was just perfect in the middle of a very stressful and fast-paced trip. read more

We stayed here because we found a great deal On Expedia. The staff were all so helpful and friendly. I felt safe the entire time. It was centrally located. We were able to take the light rail from airport to hotel and had no need for a car during our vacation. The rooms were clean and they gave us new water bottles everyday. The water was hot and pressure was good in shower. The room service was also great ! I'm so glad we found this place and id definitely stay here again. read more

Absolutely recommend ! The staff is so kind and attentive to needs. Helpful and happy. Christmas morning they even leave a small gift at your door. The location is superior for visitors in my opinion. Central for walking and / or catching multiple modes of public transport. The bed is comfy and the shower is perfectly tempered without issue. Could the bathroom be a little bigger? Yes. But it's fine. read more

My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay here and to this day she rants and raves about the pillows they have. This historic building holds quite a bit of history and the location is perfect for walking just about anywhere. Every bit of service from the valet to the front desk was outstanding. I definitely would stay again and I would stick with the king-sized suite once again. Check out the on-site restaurants as you will be pleasantly surprised by the selections and flavors. read more

Remember the Heat Dome Hell that descended upon the Pacific NW? Well it felt like the effing center of the sun and I was able to snag one of the last remaining greater Seattle reservations for an air con getaway back on 6/27/21 to 6/29/21. I tried as far north to Lynnwood and Bothell, east to Bellevue, south towards the airport, and west to the Kitsap Peninsula. I'm recalling this as I belatedly post this five months later to the day. Now why would a local resident want to stay at the Mayflower Park Hotel in downtown Seattle? Well my townhouse gets both AM/PM sun and being well insulated retains mega heat. The thought of being over 100F overnight and without AC - um, nope. No luck trying to even find an AC unit from any of the hardware or box stores. Box fans rigged up as swamp coolers didn't help much. Normally, it would be delightful to be in downtown Seattle. But the pandemic coupled with this rare extreme heat wave, pretty much shuttered most of the retailers, businesses, and restaurants within a wide radius from the hotel. Even Pike Place Market was pretty much shutdown at the time. Andaluca (onsite restaurant) wasn't an option. Both Oliver's (onsite bar) and room service were overwhelmed. It was helpful that the food court in nearby Westlake Center, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Bartell Drugs remained open. I can say that the hotel staff that I interacted at the time with were amazing. Considering the re-emergence from full on pandemic closures and now dealing with the sudden influx of guests during this heat wave, kudos to the entire hotel staff! The Mayflower Park Hotel is centrally located at 4th and Olive in the downtown retail core where main access points were both clean and secure. Valet parking was available at the time, but I had parked in nearby Belltown on Sunday and commuted to/from via Metro on the other days. The actual hotel room in this older, historical building was clean, comfortable, and safe. I was thankful for creature comforts including useful internet access (was able to work remotely), a mini fridge, and of course, air conditioning! Hopefully five months later, more normalcy has returned to the Mayflower Park Hotel. But this snapshot from late June 2021, this home away from home was spot on awesome and greatly appreciated! read more

Positive.. Hotel was nice, room was clean. Negative..male at the desk not the friendliest, female directed us to another hotel to eat because their restaurant and bar was closed down. Theodore hotel is certainly not down on the corner. Disappointed and would not go back. read more

Mayflower Park Hotel is a great hotel and I always liked Olivers Lounge (although was sad to hear they removed several popular menu items). Delighted to find 2 bathrooms in the 2 queen bedroom. Very unique. Was strange the sink is so large though in a small bathroom, as it is right up on your arm as you sit on the toilet. I got lucky parking next door at Westlake Tower garage for $20 for 2 nights. Saved me $100! It's a strange kinda creepy parking garage and beware it closes at 7pm and you can't take out your car till it reopens at 6/10am. The hotel won't tell you about this parking option but it may be worth a chance. Most of the staff and service was dissappointing. Definitely would expect better from a hotel such as this but I think it's hard to find good workers these days. read more

I stayed here at the Mayflower for three nights recently. It was a very good stay and the staff members were all super friendly and helpful. It's an older classy hotel with charm. The door service was prompt, the ladies and gents at the counter were full of good information, and the hotel, although an older building, was well kept and maintained. My only concern was that I stayed in a non-smoking room but every time I entered, I could get that slight distant sense of smoke, but it would wear off after a while after I got acclimated. The location is perfect however, being right around the corner from several public transportation nodes, a few blocks walk from Pike's Public Market, and walking distance to a lot of coffee shops and eateries. read more

I have traveled all over the US this year and this was my FAVORITE place I stayed all year. Such a wonderful old hotel that is well kept and had beautiful rooms, especially for the price. This room was so comfortable I ended up staying in more that I had anticipated. My room had a view of the old macys building and a beautiful tree and had a comfortable bed and chair so I could sit and read. It was spacious and very comfortable. Next time I am in town I am absolutely staying here again. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays when I was there and the staff couldn't have been nicer. The safety of this hotel was also very good with locked or manned entrances all day long. Loved the location and everything about this hotel!!! read more

Super location if coming in for a game at the stadium, close to the light rail (Sea-Tac, UW and more), a very old school place with modest rooms, not the latest in technology upgrades, but a comfortable bed, an elegant but not ostentatious ambiance, a cozy bar...really, it's not going to be the greatest hotel you've ever stayed at, but I'll return (espec after a couple bad experiences at Pan Pacific) and that's the ultimate determinant. read more

We have been making an annual trip to the Mayflower Park Hotel during the holidays for 35 years. The change in ownership this year was very noticeable - in a negative way. There was no valet to park our car for over an hour. There were no holiday decorations in the lobby. They were very understaffed, however the staff that were working were very nice. We went to Oliver's, but were very disappointed. Gone were the peanuts (they were complimentary for many years, but recently were on the menu for a nominal charge.) This year, however, we ordered mixed nuts which were horrible - basically a bowl of raw walnuts with a few cashews and no salt. When we mentioned this to the waitress, she said that they were making another batch. Instead of bringing us another bowl, she did deduct them from our bill. We did order hummus, which was delicious. Overall, we were very disappointed and will not be going back. read more

Very aesthetic and beautiful area. The room was very nice; my husband and I stayed for 3 days. Very close to a lot of restaurants/cafes. Also adjacent to a little shopping mall. The light rail and monorail are also closely connected so it's very convenient to travel. The people working at the hotel were very nice and helpful. We had a beautiful view from our room. Beautiful Christmas decor as well. The hotel had a vintage feel but still very nice. There is a bar in the hotel (21+) and room service is available (I recommend the grilled cheese). read more

This historic hotel is gorgeous and in walking distance to Pike Place, Great Wheel, restaurants, and shopping mall. The room is clean and the bathroom is really cute with a good amount of shampoo/conditioner/lotion. If Oliver's lounge being downstairs is not a selling point, I slept and woke up to a view of Escala. If you know, you know. Am I the book's biggest fan? No. However, the thought still amuses me. Also, I have lots of friends who've read the books (they forced me to read it too), we're really excited. My selling point? Oliver's lounge. Amazing drinks and all I had to do afterwards was stumble to the elevator and get to my room. PS, If you're thinking of walking to Walgreens on Pike & 3rd. Don't. Stay away from that side. Think staying in Sir Francis Drake Hotel in SF then straying past Mason St to TL. Don't. read more

I was very pleased to have stayed at Mayflower Park while I attended an academic conference at a large premium chain hotel. By the time I went to book my room, the big hotel had no rooms left, but I found Mayflower was only a few minutes walk away and had comparable room for less than the big hotel's conference discount rate. I'm fond of old hotels, and Mayflower, built in 1927, is superbly maintained. It also has an amazing bar (meaning amazing bartenders), Oliver's, so that's where I ended two of my four days delightfully. I also had a great brunch (pictured) at the adjoining Andalucia restaurant after checking out. The service at the hotel, bar and restaurant were all fantastic, and I will definitely return to Mayflower Park in the future. read more

Mayflower Park Hotel - Lox on rye (includes vinaigrette salad) - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This hotel is one of the grand dams of Seattle. She's 94 years old and they've done a beautiful job in maintaining her elegance. From the moment we stepped in the door, we felt welcomed like no other hotel we've stayed in...ie Westin, Hilton, Hyatt or Marriott. It was a feeling of valued even though this was our first time staying here. We were guided through our quick checkin by Robert, a most delightful man. He pointed out all the hotel features like he was welcoming us into his home. Room was ready at 2:15 and headed upstairs to our deluxe king room. See photos below. Spacious, comfortable well appointed. We have free 5G Wi-Fi service in the rooms. Unlike other hotels it wasn't glitchy. A note about the housekeeping staff... We requested our room to be cleaned went out for an hour, came back and a room was done. Remarkable. It's a five minute walk to major shopping, the light rail system which will take you all over Seattle, and a variety of different coffee shops and restaurants. Note that Oliver's, the lobby bar will have a separate review. They have a variety of mixed drinks, cocktails and a limited food menu. They have room service here as well. Great hotel and we will make it our place to stay whenever we are in Seattle read more

We have been coming to the Mayflower Park Hotel at Christmas for 35 years. For the first 26 years it was while we lived overseas and we came home to get an infusion of Christmas which the Mayflower Park Hotel always contributed to immensely. Well those days are gone! I guess this hotel came under new management in September of this year? Good-bye quality family run. It is obvious. Christmas decorations....I guess they had three red candles and some ribbon on the table in the main lobby which looked like they had been dug out of the trash bin behind the local Goodwill Store. OMG embarrassing. Good luck finding a poinsettia or anything else about Christmas...one had to look hard. Upon check in it took 20 minutes to have someone take my key to park my car. And this isn't the staff's fault, they are completely understaffed. The staff is doing the best they can under terrible management. Olivers bar connected to the hotel??? Just not the same unless you like smaller drinks for higher prices and poor service. We are so disappointed after all these years and our little two to three day tradition in downtown Seattle at the Mayflower. I guess next year we start a new tradition at a new hotel and bar. If the hotel was a child, family services would take it away from the new management. read more

Another hotel expense to escape the harmony hushers that reside beside me at home. I shouldn't be paying rent and for nights away for peace and quiet but that's just how things have been going. Luckily, Mayflower Park Hotel was a great choice for sound rest and relaxation. Check in was easy breezy, our room was gorgeous and SO spacious! We had a great sitting area with two chairs a table and sofa, wet bar, and more. Had we been traveling with friends or family this room would have been perfect for entertaining or hanging out in if needed. I will note, this has nothing to do with the hotel but we had several occurrences of Uber not being efficient and picking us up the the hotel addy, so I will say - beware of that, we may have just had some lousy Uber drivers. Perfect location to walk to a bunch of places we were going to. Wonderful customer service. I'd definitely stay here again in the future. read more
