Friendly accommodating staff.  Clean, comfortable, well fitted out  rooms with 37" flat screen TVs.  Coffee/tea making equipment and a mini fridge.  Iron, board, robes & free WIFI round out the amenities. The HVAC system doesn't allow much temperature control, depending upon your room location.  Location is fantastic. Within a 15 minute walk are Pike's Market, the waterfront and too many... More

While the location is fantastic and the room was a good size, that's about all of the positives I have to say. The water temperature was lukewarm. It can be very cold in Seattle in the winter months and to not be able to turn up the temperature on the shower was ridiculous. I called down to the front desk... More

We appreciate your feedback about your recent stay at our hotel. It is very disappointing to hear that the hot water was not hot, wireless was spotty and the fitness machines were not working properly. We have contracted to get the fitness machines fixed asap! I apologize that you didn't see the notes on the machines that stated not in... More

We stayed here 3 nights in December in a King sound view room. The most important thing to us was that it was QUIET – not a lot of street noise. I have stayed downtown Seattle before and it was extremely loud from the sirens and general street noise. Not the case in the room we had at the Red... More

Pros: good price, mini-fridge, clean rooms, comfy beds Cons: wi-fi was flakey sometimes and broken others, 5 of the electric sockets in the room didn't work (the hotel loaned us a power strip to use when we mentioned it). The water pressure was fine but the water was barely warm enough to be acceptable. In the workout room, there are... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for New Year's Eve weekend and to celebrate my 40th birthday. We were originally going to stay at the Westin, but chose the Red Lion as a more affordable alternative in the downtown core. We weren't disappointed. Check in was fast and a luggage cart was available for hauling suitcases and shopping from a... More

Stayed here while attending a conference at the Washington State Convention Center. Super close to Pike Place Market. Clean comfortable rooms with a nice view of the harbor. The lounge also had a great view of the sunset. The only issue I had here was when I was trying to call for a taxi during rush hour. More

You can't beat the location and price for this hotel. Search out special rates including breakfast and parking on their website. Our room was recently updated and quite nice, but the hallways, etc. need some work. Restaurant/pub downstairs is fine for a casual meal. Most of all, just enjoy the sites of downtown Seattle (including the waterfront) for a reasonable... More

The hotel location can't be beat. It's just 4 blocks away from Pikes Market and various water front restaurants and attractions. It is also centrally located near tons of shopping! House keeping failed to clean our room one day so we dialed housekeeping to inquire why. They said it wasn't cleaned because we probably had the Do Not Disturb placard... More

We apologize that your stay at our hotel didn't meet your expectations. The internet is being investigated as we understand that this is very important to our guests. There was obviously a disconnect on communication about your room being cleaned and this is unfortunate. We are typically sensitive to the guest's requests. We hope to have another opportunity to have... More
