    So I recently stayed here for my birthday and I've been wanting to go to this hotel since September 2023 back when I was living in Arizona and I finally got to go to the hotel that was wanted to go to and man was the experience was amazing. It is so beautiful large and just the vibes are just amazing to me. The customer service is top notch. They are so friendly and helpful and just there for you. I had questions to ask and they answer all the questions I needed to ask them and I like how this place is for solo travelers and couples which is very much needed nowadays, but I will become back again for Thanksgiving and Christmas just because it's a beautiful hotel and it is in downtown Seattle so that's what I love about it and everything is nearby and a walkable. I highly recommend citizenM for people.

    First time visitor Was able to make reservation on a partnering website (they do have their own app to download for check in / check out / information about the hotel overall) Located right across Denny Park Street parking / lot parking that I believe cost About 20 to 30 mins away from Seattle airport pending time of day and weather Unique lobby filled with character hidden touches cultural references various work spaces and materials and centered open bar - look for The Pac-Man and ghost :) Upon entry are sets of computers to check in and create your own room key card, can be done on the app too and be provided with room number Had the king room which is 150 square feet / yep sounds very small but it was very functional and thoughtful in the layout Firm bed and large firm squishy pillows and the comforter may look thin but was cozy and warm The sink had storage for trash towels tiny fridge and vanity area The bathroom was a walk in shower with toilet The bed had built in storage and safe The window view was just lovely to see the life of night and day come by There is a small desk and lamp built in on each side on the bed Tiny closet to store your bag and a few hangers provided Hair dryer is provided One thing I noticed there are not any USB plug in the room so bring your wall adapter, however in the lobby various charging stations and plug in available at many seating areas. The fun part which I didn't think I enjoy as much as I did is the iPad that controls everything in the rooms from the curtains / black out curtains / lights / tv / temperature / etc The sets of curtain was a nice touch to enjoy and could hardly hear any running water or noise through the walls Very centrally located to many spots such as pikes downtown Amazon sphere parks Whole Foods caffeine space needle - felt very safe walking during various parts of the morning mid day and evening Walk in shower has a hand held and rain shower effect - it does say 100 degree the hottest water does get but I did find one of the morning the water did not retain its heat and started to become a cooler shower Gym facility below has peloton free weights and rowing machines Bar has a water refill system for both flat and carbonated water Option to pay for breakfast and late checkout is available Lastly they acknowledge the note attach to the reservation - a hand written card was left 2 balloons and complimentary drink card, really shows they care and put in effort with detailed touches Would certainly recommend and this hotel chain is located through both in the US and internationally. Thank you for the amazing experience!

    Stayed here for 3 days 2 nights and really enjoyed my stay. The location is great, close to Whole Foods, public transit, walkable, with plenty of good restaurants nearby. Room is very modern and tech, you can control the temperature, lighting, curtains, TV with an iPad. The bed was very comfy! I slept so well. My room was plenty for one person although I can imagine being a little bit small for a couple. The room is very efficiently designed, much like those in Japan where everything was thoughtfully designed to maximize the storage/counter space. The shower was also on the smaller side. The lobby was a nice place to chill, hang out with friends or do some co-working. Very artsy, modern vibe. Minor gripe - the room didn't have coffee or tea, which for the price was very disappointing. The gym was small and pretty barebones, no yoga mats and limited equipments. Check in was easy, did everything on a computer and an associate checked my ID. Checking out was less seamless, I had accidentally spilled water on my key card so it wasn't checking out so the girl assisting said she'll take care of it. I asked if she needed my room number, she said no. I didn't get any email confirmation so I asked another girl and she was like uh you never check out.

    My first time staying in Seattle and I picked the CitizenM to stay at. This was my new home for a few days and I love the community space in here. I have never stayed in any of these CitizenM hotels but a friend of mine suggested trying them out. So I did and enjoyed my entire experience at the hotel. The price was reasonable but maybe for some people the room itself might be a tad bit on the smaller side. The shower is also just a small shower size like what you would find on a cruise ship. The blackout curtains were a bonus for me and you have a ton of privacy. I didn't hear any of my neighbors when I was here. Love the way and layout of the bar and the decorations all put around the hotel. I did order drinks here and also had food here too! Not bad at all and overall I just had a fun and great experience. If I'm in another place I'll see if CitizenM has a location there.

    An industrial design approach hotel that puts technology and art at the forefront. I've seen this chain of hotel all over including LA and NY. During my trip to Seattle I finally decided to stay here and I'm glad I did. I found this hotel to be very modern and youthful in style. I did some research on The CitizenM brand and found that The Citizen M hotels are built out of modules that are roughly shipping container sized. The outside structure of this hotel very much gives that. As you can imagine due to the container size comparison of the rooms, the rooms are narrow but strangely spacious. Because of the narrow width there are many design compromises, such as the XL square bed filling the entire width of the room, creating a situation where if two people are sharing it, one has to climb over the other. However, if you rethink the bed and use your imagination just a bit. If your sharing with someone like I did, you can place the pillows by the window to sleep. that way you wont have to climb over each other when getting out of bed. Try it. The shower controls are an European design and was actually kind of complicated for me to figure out even with the pictures on the side. All the lightening in the room are LED lights that come in different colors. Giving you the options to tune the room from business to ambiance. This and more is all functional by a tablet in your room that pretty much controls everything including the TV, climate, electronic window shade, everything is interconnected. Its pretty cool because you really don't even need traditional staff for very much because there's a self-serve check-in and check out, cashless dining and snack bar, free Wi-Fi, and even a Ironing room that is always open to iron your clothes if needed called "Iron heaven". There's also an AYCE breakfast buffet you can purchase for $18.99 that's actually good. This hotel is definitely something of the future.

    This is such a beautiful special place, and I've been traveling around the world for a long time .... This hotel really amazed me. The service is very friendly, the rooms are small and are very high tech and very comfortable to stay in. Everything that you need is there in place... it l feels like somebody really thought about everything. Breakfast is to die for.

    Loved it. Are Citizen M Hotels right for everyone? No, but I don't think they need to be. I stayed for 3 nights at this hotel while visiting my friend and had a wonderful time. The room was the cleanest hotel room I had ever stayed in, the lobby was fun and the friend I was visiting came and hung out with me multiple times cause it was a great place to hang out. One of the nights we got free corn nuts from the bar and getting anything free from hotels, I'm a sucker for. We loved the sparkling and still water taps in the lobby. And we even got some good work done at one point! The location was pretty central, which made it easy to walk around in my free time. I think for solo travelers, this is such a great hotel.

    I loved staying at the CitizenM. I can confirm that it's been the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Modern tech, sleek design and close to pretty much everything. From the self check-in process on the computer to checking out, everything went well. Our room was a little small but with all the great tech features for lighting and music, there's nothing I can complain about. I would definitely stay here again and strongly recommend it.

    Drew was amazing and gave great service ! Very kind and had excellent customer service

    When I stay at a hotel this is what I want it to be, CLEAN, tech savvy, welcoming, comfortable, safe, and in a great location. I will most defiantly be adding this chain to my list of must stays. The only thing that would have made it is a 5 would be free coffee and iron/ironing board in the room.

    We had a good time here.Tyler has great customer service. He was the person who greeted us from the beginning. His service was attentive, kind, helpful and just an amazing personality. The bed was very comfortable and loved how the rooms looked. So sleek and cozy. I also loved how the rooms have the option to change the colors of the room light. It adds a a great ambiance to the room with whatever mood your trying to set. The lobby area is my favorite. So many areas to sit and hang out, read a book to grab a drink with your friends. It's very trendy and well decorated. On the flip side, their pillows are not comfortable and their food choices aren't exactly appetizing. But the drinks were made well especially the service from Emily at the bar too! Thanks for the great service Tyler and Emily

    This hotel is definitely different than any that I've stayed at in the past. It's good for those who don't plan to spend much time inside the hotel room. My friends and I decided to check it out on our latest visit to Seattle cause the price was decent and the rooms looked nice in the pictures. Good thing it's one of those hotels where the room actually looked like the pictures. This hotel is very high tech. The check-in and out process was all digital, but there were staff members there to help with anything as well. You can control everything in your room from an iPad or on your phone (through the app) whether it's the lights, shades, music, or even picking the days for cleaning service. The room itself was small and tight. Our bed was right up against the window (which might be weird for those who had a room closer to ground level) but they have settings to close the blinds with a lighter or darker shade, depending on how much natural light you wanted in the room. The TV was on the wall across from the pillows of the bed, fairly close. There was a table and chair right next to the bed and a bathroom right on the other side of the table that was the shower stall and toilet. It kind of felt like a nicer airplane bathroom. The sink was right outside the bathroom and there was still enough space on the other side of the bathroom for hanging clothes. However, there's a separate room on each floor for ironing. My friends and I actually spent more time downstairs in the lobby/common space where there are different sections of couches and tables, as well as a full bar. There are private rooms to reserve as well. In the basement, there's the public bathrooms which are gender neutral and a sleek and simple gym. We also got breakfast for one of the days, which you have to pay for but we were able to get it free since we used each other's referral codes for booking on their website. They didn't automatically apply it to our accounts so we had to ask the staff, which they helped apply to our accounts after. The breakfast was actually really good, not those continental breakfasts. There was scrambled eggs, quality thick bacon, an assortment of pastries, fruit, lox, and so much more! Overall, we enjoyed our stay here since all we really needed was a clean place to sleep at night. The whole ambience was modern, which made the decor look simple and nice.

    What a great hotel! It's all self check-in/check-out so I had minimal interaction with the staff but the ones I did interact with, especially Holly, were all great! You even get to pick the floor you're on when checking in. Free black coffee in the mornings (h&h, sugar and honey included). I did have issues controlling the TV. The iPad provided to control it only responded to my inputs once and the app never worked. The remote worked but changing channels was tedious and there was a long delay between channels and it never said what channel I was on. The blinds also randomly closed one time without me pressing anything. Speaking of the blinds, it was PITCH BLACK when the night one was closed, just how I liked. I couldn't hear any outside noise aside from the occasional emergency vehicle. WiFi worked great. The shower was perfect. Room included a mini fridge. Short walk to the Westlake SoundTransit station and the Seattle Center (Space Needle). I would definitely stay here again.

The staff definitely leave something to be desired. I found them a mixture of condescending and rude. We requested early check in and where informed our room was not ready. Than watched them check in couple after couple. 2.5 hours later we got our early check in. A whole 15 minutes early. This was after it supposedly took them 45 minutes to clean the room. Now on to the room. The room was modestly sized with furniture shoved into every available space. The floors are plastic and cold. TV lost connection no less than 5 times forcing us to miss a few minutes of the show to reboot it. The best part was the bed. Very comfy bed. The comforters they provide are not designed for tall people though. The bathroom was not great. The shower is small with a temp control that sticks causing jumps in water temp. From luke warm to scalding quickly. For men beware the toilet. The water level is so high if you have to sit down to potty you will need to squat or parts might find themselves taking a swim in murky waters if you know what i mean. I would have normally told the staff all of this but the icy frosting on this stay was check out where the staff gave no greeting, didn't ask how the stay was or even express any positive sentiment towards us. In a city full of places to stay don't be fooled by there advertised low price. You end up with a low price experience for a high price in your check book.

I tried to explain that people were right behind us and it wasn't safe to block egress but the people at the front desk said that it wasn't a problem. My husband just needed to block traffic and unload our things then wait for a valet driver to appear. I asked if we could upgrade our room to a club level but was informed that they have no ability to do so at the front desk and haven't for some time. I was very disappointed at this. It would have been one thing if they were booked but just flat out denial just because felt somehow personal (even if it wasn't actually). I went back out to the entrance to see if I could spot my husband and made him stop. Soon after a valet arrived and said he should park the car perpendicular to the other cars so he would have somewhere to park. This would have effectively blocked both the valet cars and the through traffic lanes. He then asked if we were going to do valet parking. I told him "not any more!" This hotel charges $69 a night for valet and the self parking isn't worlds cheaper but it definitely felt worth it to have our car placed carefully by us and not left in the care of the person who felt perpendicular/blocking through traffic was a good idea. Meanwhile I found our room that has a persistent sound of whistling when the heating is on and I found that the bathroom, while beautiful had a rather unappealing quality. When you use the toilet you are looking directly into a rather large mirror. When taken all together it makes for a rather disappointing experience. I don't think I will stay at any Hyatt again. There are other options that are pleasant and clean and well thought out nearby.

They are now under Hyatt group, so if you have loyalty status with Hyatt, make sure to let them know during check-in. The room itself was nice and spacious. Bed and bedding was comfortable although the pillows were very flat. The bathroom had a huge window but there was an automated privacy shade. The bathroom also had plenty of counter space, with a separate shower from the huge soaking tub. The tub design was a bit weird in that the water comes out of the ceiling... so just be prepared that it does splash all over. Our room did not have a view (we got an east-facing room which literally is a view of another building's windows), but it did keep the room cool. Location was nice and walkable to all nearby Seattle attractions, very easy to get to Pike Place and Westlake Station. The hotel has a spa and small gym on the basement level, plus a golf simulator (that we did not try). The Rosebay bar was very pleasant (we got drinks and a snack) and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. The breakfast at All Water was disappointing though - both the service and food were mediocre for the price they charge - and we wouldn't recommend it. Nonetheless, the hotel stay itself was pleasant and I would recommend the hotel itself, location was excellent. Staff was friendly and I would come back to stay here again when visiting Seattle.

I'm not sure what changed, but I could hear noises from other units and from the street much more loudly this time. - On noise, the AC unit in my room this time was much noisier as well. Generally speaking, I still think this is a great hotel, but I had a disappointing experience this time vs my prior stay. I will give it another shot next time, but with caution.

    We had a really nice week-long stay here. This hotel's style is super cool with many little nods to…read morethe Seattle music scene and its history. The room was clean and comfortable, with a decent amount of clothing storage and a small table where I was able to do some telework. The bed was very comfortable, and they gave my partner extra pillows for his back issues on request. Good lighting in the bathroom and the shower gets nice and hot. The provided shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion worked well and had a nice light citrusy scent. There was a Keurig machine in the room; not my jam but helpful in a pinch. We always got stocked with dark roast coffee pods, which is my preference, whoo. Also an empty mini fridge which we were able to use for beverages and leftovers. The 7th floor has a nice little seating area outside the bar where I was able to get some quiet work done one weekday, and the outdoor terrace offers a mountain view on clear days. The fitness center is small: just two treadmills, one recumbent bike, an elliptical, a peloton, and many dumbbells, but I had no problem getting a treadmill run in each morning before 9 am. Water bottle fillers on floors 1 and 4 were super convenient, too. The valet parking is very convenient but pricy. You might want to check Spot Hero or similar to see if you can get a better deal on parking nearby. All told I was impressed by this hotel and I think we will stay here next time we return to Seattle.

The hotel focuses on mid-range, family travel; and to this they deliver quite well. If - however - you're looking for a bit more of a destination hotel, pick again. That's not to say the Embassy Suites isn't clean, with friendly and welcoming staff who are always there to help, it is just important to recognize that the hotel is not a destination. It is more of a "means to an end" kind of place.

Literally the first building you see when you leave the train station and right next to the entrance to the Seattle Stadium. Staff was friendly, though advertising a $9 bottle of Smart Water and giving your guests a complimentary check-in bottle of Dasani feels like a bad choice. Would probably have gone down better to give the Smart Water and advertise it as $9 to give it an added value. My main issue was not being warned before arrival that there was an ongoing strike by employees of the hotel. There was a flyer at the desk at check-in going over it, but no one prewarned us that the striking employees started at 6:30am with drums, a megaphone, sirens, whistles, and shouting. This was fully audible in the room. Due to the World Cup, there was no option to relocate to another hotel. When we left the hotel in the morning of the match, members of the protest got very aggressive and in my face, screaming about checking out and demanding a refund. Again, not a practical option. I have nothing against workers rights, but screaming at people who didn't know and don't have another choice isn't doing any favors. This must have happened more than once, because the front door was locked the remainder of the day and guests directed to other doors. The room was dusty, likely as a result of the strike. The sliding barn doors were insufficient to offer privacy while using the toilet or showering. Breakfast was pretty good. I went with Embassy Suites based on past experiences and convenience and I wish I had been aware of the strike because I would have made different choices. Hilton and Embassy Suites should address the concerns of their employees, if for nothing more than guest experience.

Our last two nights of our journey were spent in Seattle at the Shafer Baillie mansion. I would highly recommend staying here. The location was great for getting to downtown and all around. It is close to the Cap Hill neighborhood with shops and restaurants. There is plenty of street parking in the vicinity. The mansion itself is part of what was known as Millionaire's Row. It was built in 1914 and has been well cared for over the years. When we came back from one evening out, we all gathered in the Library and set up some charcuterie and wine to share from our travels. It was so cozy sitting all together and chatting about our adventures. The rooms are historic with modern conveniences. Our room was the Queen Ann Hill. We slept soundly in our comfortable 4 poster bed. There was a helpful step stool for me to climb up as I am vertically challenged. It has original pushbotton light switches. It had a beautiful full length mirror. There was a flatscreen TV, but we had so many wonderful activities we did not use it. The bathroom was updated but still fit with the historic look. There were two showerheads in the tiled shower. Breakfast was lovely. I, personally, have a great deal of food allergies. There was ample selection that I was able to enjoy just as much as anyone else. There were breads and pastries, jams and spreads, yogurt and fresh berries, and a hot breakfast dish. Hard boiled eggs were available as well as cheeses and meats. There was a coffee bar that was available all day that also had tea and cocoa. We sat at the long dining table enjoying each others company and conversation. We got to meet some of the other guests which added to the experience. If we find ourselves back in Seattle, this is where I will want to stay.

The greeters always opened the door for me, the check-in desk staff were courteous and always had a smile, and the checkout process was also quick and ended with an invitation to return to the property the next time I'm in Seattle. As soon as I stepped out of my Uber upon initial arrival, a staff member walked up to open my door and asked if I needed help with my bags. My room was comfortable in every aspect. The temperature controls worked great, the bed was very comfortable and had an adequate number of pillows, the bathroom was well-appointed, and everything was very clean. The bath towels were large, soft, and plush. The frosted door to the water closet was a nice touch for the sake of privacy if you were sharing the space with someone. The shower was not huge but it was more than adequately spacious for me. There were 2 robes hung in the bathroom (though I didn't use them). The small table and chairs near the window were convenient and comfortable to work from. The view from my room was very nice, especially during clear days when you can see the water and the mountains in the distance. The room was always well maintained after the typical morning cleaning as well as during turn down service. I appreciated the staff placing slippers by the bed and how they always nicely arranged my toiletries in the bathroom, replaced used towels with fresh ones, and even placed things on the table in the bedroom (like my charger, earbud case, eyeglass case, and so on) neatly for when I returned. The bar area at the back of the restaurant was a nice little area and had a table large enough for our group of around 8-10 to comfortably sit at while enjoying a nightcap. My breakfast the day I checked out was also high quality and my server Nathan was pleasant, timely, and honest about prep time of some items I wanted to order but was constricted due to a time crunch. In general, every staff member I encountered was pleasant, eager to help, and always smiled and made eye contact when speaking with me. All in all, I had a wonderful experience and have no complaints. This property is one of the top 2-3 Four Seasons hotels I have stayed at over the past several years. I would wholeheartedly stay here again!

This hotel is an excellent choice for those wanting to stay in a waterfront property that's walkable to the cruise terminal as well. Though Four Seasons is not the most cost effective option for a comfortable hotel in downtown Seattle, I highly recommend this hotel based on my recent experience in June 2025. Where to start.... Location, location, location! The hotel is literally a block away from the entrance to Pike Place Market where you can spend days shopping, snacking, and enjoying the views of the water. The views from the hotel room are breathtaking as the Great Wheel (Ferris wheel) and Aquarium are just a few minutes away by foot. From the Four Seasons, we were able to walk to Chinatown in under 30 min (you can also take the train just 2 stops down) and Seattle Center where the Space Needle is located is also walkable and also accessible via monorail. The staff greets you at the door every time you enter and exit, and the lobby is full of surprises like premium coffee and tea in the mornings and a candy bar in the afternoon. Every time our room was serviced, it was done to perfection and then some. The chat function on the app was amazing as I was able to make requests and ask questions with ease. Responses were close to immediate. At the front desk and concierge, staff are also very friendly and treated us with respect and honor. They also provided great advice for food and sightseeing options close by. They never tried to sell me stuff where they would make money off of it. I could go on and on, but I have to say that my family's experience was extremely memorable, and if I could give this place 6 stars, I would. If you're looking for the optimal location for breathtaking views, seconds away from Pike Place Market, and still walkable to the Space Needle, Chinatown, the Convention Center, etc., this is it, y'all!
