Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle Downtown/Lake Union

It didn’t seem they were prepared for a large group of guests for New Years. Five of us called or went to the front desk about no towels at the pool. It’s ok they ran out but after an hour and a half no one brought any more. The next morning it seemed they were scrambling to prepare breakfast. Just seems like poor management.

My stay was ok, The website was deceiving on showing the balconies view to the space needle I did not have a view of the space needle in my suit, also very hard to get breakfast so many people and my second night there I was not able to park in the garage to full

We found a pacifier on our floor and a dirty dish in the cupboard. Otherwise things were fine. The breakfast was good. Location was good. Parking was $45 a night which seemed very steep. When I mentioned something, the hotel wanted to chat personally but then never answered emails or texts. It was rAther strange.

We stayed and did Christmas at the hotel. It was a nice experience. Great service and clean rooms. I wouldn’t pay extra for the lake view again since it was only a lake view if you stand in the balcony, otherwise it’s a city view from the room. $37 parking garage was pretty steep considering it wasn’t valet and there was city parking the street. No fault of the hotel beware of Jay Inslee’s crazy taxes! It was about 25% tax on top of the hotel fee.

The toiletries and amenities are disappointing . Shower gels are not provided, only a small piece of soap is provided . Shower cap, cotton buds and shaver are also missing . Better bring along your personal toiletries when you check in .
