Seattle Northgate 3-star Hotels

The good - The staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean. It is close to shopping and other amenities which is nice, and was reasonably priced for being in town. They have done a pretty good job of cleaning up and updating an old motel to help it look nice and make it more welcoming, but it's still an old building. The grab and go breakfast was surprisingly better than I thought it would be and managed very well. Again, the staff does a great job! The not so good - The mattresses on both beds were squeaky so that every time you moved or even sat down they made noise. The location is ok, but there are homeless camps near the back fence of the rear parking area and by the highway that are visible from the outer walkways. This means folks milling around in front and back of the hotel. We also had problems with the odor of marijuana drifting into the room from the air conditioner so that we had to turn it off a few times, and through the bathroom vent so that we had to turn it on to clear the smell. Overall it's probably not a place that I would stay for vacation with the whole family, but on this occasion it served our purpose and I think it's pretty typical of most of the older hotels in Seattle. I am not sure where the ”Signiture Collection” designation comes from or that it helps when reviewing this hotel. For me it seemed to underperform the title, so had it been more reasonably listed as ”Sure Stay” I think I would have had a better idea of what to actually expect from the hotel when we stayed. In the end the stay was fine, and the staff is great, but there is a reason we typically stay outside of the city.

Location and comfort was the main attribute of this hotel, however the dining options all closed by 11pm and with a late flight in made it difficult. The staff also refused to assist with taking up ordered take out after 11pm and we had to leave our hotel to pick up the delivery. They said they were understaffed.

Room could have been cleaner, but amenities and staff were both excellent in helping us get a great stay. The bed topper must have been hard to clean for staff and the floor was dirty, but we had it get recleaned and this was fixed. Staff were super helpful and the room tech was a fun feature to have.

The location is very good, walking distance to the majority of tourist sites in the city. Check-in was fast and efficient. The room was a very good size and very clean, but felt a bit dated. Housekeeping on request only, which seems to be becoming the standard in the US these days.

The location of the hotel is very good, in the city center, you can walk to the subway station, there are shopping malls and bus stations nearby. The sanitary conditions of the hotel are average. There is a lot of dust in the indoor air conditioner. After staying for two nights, the refrigerator in the room made a lot of noise at night. It is located on the third floor and the outdoor machine is very noisy at night. It is recommended to avoid the third floor.

Great to stay here. Near many attractions. Easy to take public transportation. There’s a rail station Westlake for people to take Link to the Airport.

Got a great last minute deal at this beautiful hotel. The staff was very nice and we enjoyed sipping wine overlooking the water on a comfy couch by the lobby. Our room was small with a city view but clean and cozy. Only criticism is that we put out our order for breakfast the night before and it never came so we had to call room service twice and ended up giving them a phone order because no one ever came to the door to get the order slip. Overall wonderful place to stay and you can walk to everything.

The location of the hotel is downtown, with Macy's next to it, H&M in the opposite building, old Xi'an fast food (liangpi and shaozi noodles are very positive), sushi restaurant, the only disadvantage is that there are too many homeless people in the surrounding area, begging + stealing + robbing, So if you are alone, you have to be extra careful. You can hear the sirens one after another when you sleep at night. The interior of the hotel is very safe, the elevator needs to swipe the room card to enter. The little brother who made the card, repeatedly made us go back and forth from the counter to the elevator five times to make the right card, the room was not as big and luxurious as we imagined

Have stayed in a few hotels for business since covid. I understand most places have changed cleaning schedules and do less in room stuff, and I'm fine with that, but I appreciated that Hyatt at Olive made up for the lack frequent personal attention to the room by stocking it well with extra stuff (q tips, shower cap, lots of towels and washcloths, extra blankets, etc). Other places I've stayed have also cut back on housekeeping, etc, but haven't beefed up what's stocked in the room, making it feel like a well-decorated hostel. I still felt like a guest here, instead of someone just passing through. Well done.

The Renaissance Seattle Hotel is located at the foot of downtown, the gateway to the city’s restaurants, shopping and attractions. The property is clean and attractive with upscale finishes and an accommodating staff. The room was well laid out, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was small but quite usable. The location near I-5 notwithstanding, the room was quiet and peaceful. Breakfast food was of high quality and served in a bright, inviting space with good service. I did notice a gratuity of 20% already had been added and suspect some people unwittingly pay 2 tips.
