Hotels near Carolyn Staley Fine Japanese, Seattle

Great venue in terms of location. Staff very helpful. The real downer was the cleaning.Although our room was cleaned to good standard, the public area was not. One of the rooms opposite had a discarded cleaners black glove outside on the floor for 2 days. Also by the lifts on the 26th floor was a discarded coffee cup on the table. This was left there when we arrived and was still there when we checked out.

The classic Hyatt Hotel has an old-fashioned layout. The rooms are clean and tidy. The main thing I like is that it is in the city center. It is very close to the Space Needle and Pike Place Market. It is convenient for travel.

Big room with excellent bedding and modern design for both business and leisure travelers. Excellent location for tourists and shopping and dining. Courteous staff are efficient and friendly in providing best quality service.

The hotel is located in a developing area. It is convenient to reach the Space Needle and Amazon unmanned store within a 10-minute walk. In addition to the toilet, the room is clean and tidy, and the kitchenette has additional zinc plates, refrigerators, and microwaves. Attached is a street view picture of the journey within 5-10 minutes.

Amazingly nice hotel. I was really pleasantly surprised. The rooms are small but oh so functional, the epitomy of interior design of small spaces. The rooms are fully smart connected, and you can control everything via an ipad, really nice. Althouhgh the rooms are on the smaller size, they still worked great for me, a 6ft5 guy. Two thumbs up, do recommend.

I’ve stayed at this hotel whenever I’m in Bellevue, WA for well over thirty years. My earliest memories of this property were as a Red Lion Hotel. Then it became a Double Tree and finally, on its deathbed , it’s a Hilton. How the mighty have fallen… Not withstanding the property, which I’ll get into, I will say that the staff are generally kind and helpful. So this review is not to diminish their efforts. However hard they work, the reality is this property is beyond salvage and should be torn down and a new property should be built in its place. The bedrooms are grossly outdated, and when you look behind the doors, or in between the furniture, you’ll see how old this hotel is. While it’s sizeable in space and scope, the elevators are tragically slow, with two-of-four being out of commission when we stayed there recently. Sadly, the water pressure is so low it takes forever to wash and rinse. Our keycard failed three separate times, requiring a long walk and painful elevator ride back to the main desk where the staff reset the keycard. The pool is functioning, but there were never enough chairs and loungers. Add to this there were never enough fresh towels and you’re getting the taste of mediocrity this hotel delivers. One absolutely disgusting site is the swamp that lies just beside the pool (down the concrete foundation about twenty feet). I have no idea who thinks this is aesthetically pleasing, but it’s not. It’s home to a few ducks who clearly have poor taste in accommodations, as did we. This poolside unattraction is downright ugly. One thing I was interested to see were several staff members not wearing any type of formal Hilton uniforms. The breakfast buffet chef was literally dressed in Carharts with a t-shirt, work boots and a ball cap on. And one of the maintenance staff looked like he just walked in off the street. Management must have been on vacation at another property. Finally, the outside of the building, including the massive sloping glass facade, clearly hasn’t been washed in decades. And worse, yet, the parking area is filthy to say the least. Food containers, candy wrappers, cigarette butts and hygiene products lay a strewn for days with no effort to maintain a modest effort in appearance. This was the last time we will stay at this hotel. If you want to save yourself frustration and disappointment, I encourage you to stay at the new Marriott up the street. Literally blocks away, it’s a cleaner, nicer bet.

I have to note that I have stayed in so many hotels relocating from the East Coast to the West Coast, and I’ve been very surprised at certain hotel chains. This hotel was a delight!! I’ve worked in customer service for years, and I was always told that you be able to know who the manager is just by their leadership skills; I knew immediately that Raj was the General Manager. His professionalism, accuracy, and customer service skills were impeccable; by far the best I’ve seen and I’ve stayed at 25 different hotels during this journey. The hotel itself is also wonderful, which reflects on management also. Every front desk employee was excellent, and I appreciate some humor, and got some from a young lady. The rooms are immaculate, and very spacious; there are a lot of places to meet all your needs in terms of toiletries, wine, and many other things. You can ask the front desk so many questions and not only will they give you the answers, but they will make sure you understand where you are going. The entire team was dressed perfectly, something I’ve noticed has been lacking in other hotels. I think it’s also in the perfect location, because your right outside of Seattle, but not in the middle of all the chaos so you have a great deal peace, but can get to the city in 15 minutes approximately, This has been my favorite hotel that we have stayed at since bouncing around the Seattle area. I applaud Raj, and all management as well as the front desk agents, you truly are all wonderful, and I felt at home but better bc the hotel is just wonderful in all respects. Thank you North Gate for restoring my faith in hotels again.

Let me begin by saying I was born and raised in Washington. I know very well what a nasty place Southcenter can be and I knew this was not the Ritz Carlton, but this was a once in a lifetime disaster. The main reason my wife booked the hotel was because it had a pool and hot tub. Well, they do but it's ”under construction” and of co**** this is not listed on any site. Upon further investigation, it would appear that the pool had been closed or months, possibly years. We checked in and when we arrived at our room it was not very clean to say the least. The bed seemed clean and that was all. My wife took a few pictures that I have attached. We tried to settle in and deal with it but all of the sudden the room began to vibrate. Somewhere in close proximity to our room was the housekeeping laundry and the washer spin was shaking the room so bad I felt my vertigo start to trigger. We went and asked for another room and they gave us one. This room was just as dirty, but the bed was also broken. Not more than 15 minutes after we arrived at the new room the fire alarm went off and shut off again. A couple minutes later it went off again and shut off. We thought it was a test so we waited a couple of minutes and then I saw red flashing lights come through the window. The fire department had arrived. Now it's time to see what is happening. My wife and I arrived in the lobby in time to meet the fire dept. head demanding to see the manager. She was on the phone and another employee asked if he could help. The fireman demanded to see the manager. She finally came out and guess what the fireman asked? Why did you cancel the fire alarm twice when there was a fire in the fitness room? He was irate with her. So now they have officially endangered the lives of every person in the hotel and we were not about to stat after that. We said we were checking out and asked for a refund. The receptionist checked us out and refunded the second night but my wife noticed not the current night stay. She said she couldn't and called the manager over. She said ”I don't know what you heard, but you have already been here so I won't refund you for tonight.” We had been there less than 2 hours and she refused to refund the night.

Nice and comfortable airport hotel. Location is tremendous, as it’s near to SEA airport, with lots of food venues around. A complimentary airport shuttle is available. The shuttle departs every thirty minutes to the airport, at :00 and :30. Exceptionally kind and helpful staff at the hotel, however, one specific shuttle driver was extremely rude and unbothered. I did not catch his name. Didn’t bother helping me with my suitcases and at the airport didn’t bother taking out my suitcases either. Also the shuttle departed full, so some passengers had to stand. Rooms were very clean, but a bit outdated. Since the hotel is big, there are two fitness facilities available, very convenient. I had a 1 bed queen room with a balcony, which is a nice touch. I would stay again, if staying near SEA airport.

Stayed at this property twice in 9 days at the beginning and end of our cruise, This property is very convenient to the airport. I normally would have given the property an Excellent rating except for an issue with the most relevant aspect of the property. The property has a 24/7 airport shuttle which runs every half hour. The property shuttle will also take you to many local dining establishments which is very convenient. Due to the really bad lines at the airport, it is very important to get to the airport early so you don't miss your flight. Upon check-in, I signed up for the shuttle to catch my flight in the morning. I literally watched the young lady at the desk write my name, room number and time in the book. The next morning, I went out early to the shuttle and was rudely told by the driver that I was not listed for a trip and I could not be taken to the airport. The shuttle left without me. I then spoke to someone at the desk who agreed to get me an Uber. Not that I blame the hotel, but the Uber showed up really late because he apparently ran an errand before he picked me up. This whole episode really cause a lot of anxiety and could have been avoided. The hotel itself is very nice, the room was clean and had everything needed for our stay. Breakfast is a to go very early in the am and then becomes hot and cold food after a certain time (don't recall the time). The hot breakfast was very good. Every one working at the hotel desk is very nice and professional. One real advantage of this property is that they will let you check in early after your cruise once a room is available.My only advice staying here is before you go to sleep, call the front desk and make sure you are on the shuttle.
