W Hotel Seattle

Lounge - nice, quite and has a fireplace to sit in front of wile sipping a drink ? which is really a sell point for me? I have never stayed in the hotel itself but judging from the lobby and the lounge which I frequently visit it must be grand.

Go to the W Hotel/Seattle for many reasons: Great Bar. Comfy rooms with million threadcount sheets (exageration), great pillows, excellent staff. Just feel comfortable here.\t\n\t\nProbably the greatest thing about this place is their pet friendliness. They are cool abo...ut the pooch and that goes a long way with me.\t\n\t\nBeing cool about the pooch doesn't mean bring your lame dog here though. Don't ruin it for the rest of dog-loving America/Seattle.\t\n\t\nWill definitely recommend this to friends, relatives, and countryman visiting Seattle. Read More

I've been to the W Bar 3 or 4 times for Happy Hour, and it's generally very good. My girlfriend always gets the Emerald Drop, which is a Happy Hourt special, and she swears by the thing - I prefer to stay with the Happy Hour beer menu, which is good as well. The Happy H...ourt fries are fantastic. They are served in a large funnel and are perfectly crispy. My only qualm with the W Bar is its price, which can get expensive just from a few drinks.

I am so over the W thing. I know - the dark lights, mode furniture and pounding music was the "thing" in the 1990's, but I'm done. After walking a city like Seattle, i don't want to open a lobby door with the thump, thump of extremely loud music - so loud that I cannot ...hear the staff without leaning over a counter. Are the lights for ambiance or is something not clean? I can't tell and I want to know my room is spotless. I also want that huge, big, soft bed with crisp white bedding and a good reading light. I want to be able to see to put on makeup in the bathroom. NOT in this hotel. In a city like Seattle that has rain 11 months out of the year shouldn't your hotel room be a little cheery?? The one strange thing is that in all this darkness, the room have blinds, no curtains. So as soon as you try to go to sleep, on comes the city lights! Many must complain because they offered to "install" curtains while I was out. I could have done much better w/ a sewing machine and a shower rod! There is a black rod crammed into the window with very thin black material safety pinned over it!! Classy. Room service extremely expensive. No coffee makers in the rooms (in Seattle??) no wifi in room and internet is $15 a day. Food so bad in the restaurant (Earth and Water) that I had to complain to manager. Wait staff told me the steak and fries are served cold and limp! So many other great places in Seattle - don't stay here!!!!! Read More

they actually let me take my great dane in the bar while i had a drink with a date! the staff was great and the drinks were strong.

The staff at the W was rude from my first day through the last. \t\n\t\nEverything at this hotel is outsourced. If there is any kind of problem the staff will do nothing about it. Their standard saying is, "That is not a part of the hotel - we can do nothing about it." ...\t\n\t\nThe Internet support is $15/day per computer. Prepare to deal with a WIRED connection as there is NO WIRELESS connectivity in guest rooms. Only one computer can be connected at a time to the WIRED LAN. \t\n\t\nParking (next to the hotel) is also outsourced. It is $10 for the first thiry minutes. This is direct billed to your room. \t\n\t\nThe temperature controls were broken in the room. We were sweating for about 5 days straight. Although we complained to the front desk - again, nothing happened. \t\n\t\nThe TV was supposidly digital. There was non-standard programming and a minimum number of channels. \t\n\t\nI was billed for phone calls I did not make and had to argue at the desk upon checkout for the bills to be cleared. \t\n\t\nLastly, I forgot something in the hotel and when I called later they said they would get someone right up to the room to find it and send it to me. Nothing happened. No return call with the status. After three more phone calls I found out they did not do anything and it was too late. Then they told me "it is not important" and just before hanging up on me. \t\n\t\nRegardless of where you chose to stay in Seattle there has to be something better than this. I will NEVER stay there again. Anything is better. Read More
