Best Hotels near Federal Office Building, Seattle

We stayed here before our Alaska Cruise and had a very good experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Rooms include a mini fridge, Keurig coffee maker, iron, and safe. Dove bath products are provided. Hair dryer is attached to the bathroom wall. The front desk staff were so polite and professional at every interaction. We did pay for the package that included breakfast at Toast and Toast restaurant next door to the hotel. Food was good and generous portions. Coffee is not included so take a little cash with you. Short walk to the Space Needle. Upon check in, we signed up for the shuttle to the cruise port for $10 a person plus tip. Driver was on time, very friendly. Although we did see a few homeless people, we never felt unsafe.

Great place: excellent location, very clean and nice set up. Good value for the price.

My wife booked our stay at the Inn as a jumping off point for our Alaska cruise. In hindsight, I should have overruled her decision. The Inn does have a lot of history and the concierge told us it dated back to 1928. At one time, it appears to have been a hospital and the layout of the rooms reflect that. There is NO air conditioning, NO bar and NO restaurant. There is a small coffee pot in the room and they gladly provide you with a packet for one serving of coffee. The bed was confortable and everything was clean, but the property is dated and in need of refresh. Were I to describe the inn, I would simply say she is a penniless dowager far past her prime. My recommendation is stay elsewhere.

Business hotel near to Pikes Market and Capitol Hill. Room is very nice, cozy and clean. Staff is helpful and service level is good.

Perfect!

Stayed at Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel, Seattle in May 2023. We had the first best American experience. At the reception Andrew and Christina was very helpful. We took Andrew's advice and had dinner at one of the restaurant he had recommended for us. It was a good choices. He also give us tips how to spend a wonderful time in Seattle. Christina was very helpful in order to solve my credit card problem. The room was very good and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the pillow also was very good. The hotel is on the 1st Av in a quite zone near lots of restaurants for breakfast, lunch or dinner, close to Space Needle and Pike Place Market. All in all it was a good hotel and definitely when we come back to Seattle our choice for accommodation will be The Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel.

PROs: Very nicely decorated hotel, with warm reception staff. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and I liked the kitchen sink and microwave amenities! Room seemed clean and nice. Easy shuttle to airport. CONS: our keys didn’t work and we went back for new ones. The second set worked but someone else was already in the room! Eek! We were given another room and that was fine, but this morning, someone else (guest? Cleaning staff?) opened our door without knocking and was surprised to see us. Eeek again! Staff was embarrassed and apologetic. Previous staff totally screwed up keys and room assignments it seems. Hopefully just a one-time problem. But beware and double lock your door and put your privacy please sign up! Breakfast is cereal, bagels, juice, bananas, oranges, and sweetened yogurt “product.” I’m gluten-free and try to avoid loads of sugar so I’m being picky but a protein like a few hard boiled eggs and string cheese would be so nice. I ate a banana. The lobby and breakfast area were being cleaned with strong-smelling chemicals while we ate breakfast at 8:30am. There are sooo many safer options available! I encourage the hotel to go fragrance-free and use EPA- certified Safer Choice products that are less toxic to people.

The location is suitable for a holiday by the lake; very quiet. Guests with cars are very convenient; there is a car park. There are docks where you can rent a boat with your children. The restaurant is nice and the environment is quiet.

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.
