Mediterranean Inn

10/10 Excellent

"At a time in the morning when the Mediterranean Inn lobby was abuzz with activity, people and luggage in its lobby, staff met my party curbside just as we stepped out of our taxi. They immediatelym took charge of our bags and expedited our check-in. That kind of attention to detail was emblemmatic of how we were treated for the rest of our stay. Additionally, the property has a beautifully appointed and well maintained spacious rooftop with a fantastic water view. But beyond the view, an abundance of flowering plants, handsome patio furniture and outdoor heaters for cooler weather all made the roof experience memorable for the couples and groups enjoying it. As I ended myn stay, I passed a staff member at a podium adjacent to the hotel's vestibule and asked if I couls have one of the pens available there. He said yes and as I turned to get in my waiting taxi, he stopped me to give me one of the hotel's pens with a minute (extremely small) cap over the point of the pen because he wanted to make sure that I left with a pen that had never been used. Wow! My stay ended just as it had started with the Mediterranean Inn treating me as its most valued guest. From start to finish, the Mediterranean Inn through its staff, decor, maid service, gym, coffee station, rooftop, etc. focused intensedly on its guests."

Four Points By Sheraton Seattle Airport South

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleased with the accommodations, front desk staff, close proximity to SEATAC, complimentary airport shuttle and two water bottles in room. Only needed a one-night stay before flying home the next day. Three nearby fast food restaurants — McDs, Popeyes and California Burrito. Street level All American and Indian restaurant within the property. Snacks available for purchase in the lobby. Bus stop across the street. "

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Upon arriving at the front desk the gentlemen was very cold and I felt rushed from the moment we arrived. No smile, no welcome just transaction interaction. Secondly, I reserved a room with the city view through the Expedia, and when reception employee searched for our room he said no its a standard room. I told him I payed for a room worh a city view. He told me no you didn't. I was taken back to be told what I have reserved instead of perhaps him telling me what he sees in a system. I told him again to wait a second to pull up my reservation and he was getting impatient that made me uncomfortable as I'm holding him up instead of trying to help me resolve the issue. I paused and told him I don't have time to argue I will take whatever room he has for us and I will take care of it later. He gave me the key again in very cold manner and we left. It will definitely not be next hotel I stay in. Just to give 5 stars to valet/ greeter staff, the restaurant staff and location."
