    I booked a room through booking.com and after booking it I got these messages. One rooms have no AC. I'm not OK with that. Two they don't allow visitors and charge you 12 extra dollars per person no other hotel even the cheapest hotels do that. I get hotels to hook up with my playmates in Seattle or around Washington because I cannot host due to living with a family. And this is bullshit. I will never book with this fucking hotel again. And I'm also eating tonight's money and going to spend more money elsewhere, where they allowed guests without an extra fee and actually have AC This is probably the most pathetic message I've ever gotten from a hotel Fuck this place!

    Great location easy 2 block walk to Seattle's historic Public Market. 3 blocks to Target and great Mexican restaurant and cantina next door.

    Absolutely no frills hotel but in the heart of downtown Seattle. In the room you get a plug in fan that's in the closet, a tiny shampoo and conditioner (that don't seem like they come from the same manufacturer) and two slivers of wrapped soap. No Kleenex box and no hair dryer. There are two lights in the room which I didn't like. I like bright rooms. No a/c and no control to the heater in the room. The windows slid up about a foot or so which allowed for good ventilation. Close to a lot of places. There's one elevator that can fit MAYBE 6 people. You can't take the stairs up, but you can take them down. We stayed in room 720 which faced 2nd street. It can get somewhat noisy. For the price and convenience of being within walking distance of H mart and pike place, I'd stay again.

    My daughter and I booked adjoining rooms for 3 days in October of this year. Staff was friendly, and the hotel is in a great location downtown. The window latch in my room was broken, so the window could not be shut all the way making it very loud while trying to sleep due to outside traffic. There is no thermostat and at times my room was so hot it was almost unbearable. Front desk staff said they could do nothing about the heat. The major problem was with housekeeping. Things were filthy! And why was there a razor blade on the windowsill? The rooms we booked looked nothing like the online photos!

    A centrally located historical hotel that blends personality and comfort. I was placed on the 7th floor and had a lovely view of the city. I would stay again!

    So, first off if you need any questions answered speak with Danielle. He is very helpful with shuttle info and airport info! I was sad that the restaurant was closed. The coffee shop was open 8:30. -3:30. The beds were comfy, slept well. Within walking distance of the Market and restaurants!

    The Moore Theatre and Hotel was built for the tourist surge that would visit Seattle during the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1907. Fittingly, it opened with a performance of "The Alaskan," a comic opera. The expo itself was delayed for two more years. In the 1930s hotel rooms without bath cost $1.50 and up; rooms with a bath cost $2.00 and up. [Seattle City Directory, 1930] An Asahel Curtis photograph of the Moore façade shows a sign advertising "Turkish baths for ladies and gentlemen" open twenty-four hours a day. I distract you with this illustrious history because this property has no curb appeal. Don't need put off by the rough, even fearsome, street appearance. Past the lobby (befitting a flophouse scene) the rooms are delightful (and huge). The colorful interior design is soothing and amusing. Our basic en suite room had a walk in closet, bedroom, kitchen, bathtub with claw-foot tub, and combination dining and sitting rooms. The square footage and soaring ceilings are amazing. The bed is a serious win. The room keys that are - wait for it - actual metal keys! A 5-minute walk from the Pike Place Fish Market, the Moore is conveniently where tourists want to be without the cost of marque name hotels. Location, friendly staff, quirky interior design in a historic building, low cost - we love it here!

    Decided last minute to spend the night here on the way to the Olympic peninsula. Last time we stayed was two years ago. They have updated the front of the building in a little bit. Again, we got a room with a queen in one room, and connecting two twins in the other room. It had a mini fridge, which was nice. (Some rooms do, some do not). we arrived at noon;, eventually were able to check in at 3 PM (official check-in is 4 PM). Room was simple, but comfortable. Very quiet this time. No AC, but a fan in each room, which cooled things down. Not fancy, but would definitely stay again for the price ($250 this time).

    Hallway on third floor. Looking down the velvet hallway

    I love this hotel. The staff was wonderful, our room was basic yet had an old classic touch about it that left you wishing the walls could talk. The long hallways with the velvet curtains left me with haunted goosebumps, and hesitation to walk down them. We stayed on the third floor for three nights and never once saw another person, which we found odd and eerie. Our first night we opened the window a crack to let some air in before going to bed (no air-conditioning). In the morning, the window was wide open. I didn't think much of it and assumed my friend opened it in the night. Day two we left to walk downtown and again, just left the window open a crack. When we came back our window was again, wide open. We had refused room service so I finally asked my friend if she was opening the window. She said "no, but I thought I saw you standing by the window last night, maybe you did it?" I never once got up in the night. Night three we kept the window open wide and in the morning it was closed. I woke up and was dying of heat, so I got up to open it but the window would not budge. It took two of us with all our might to open it to get some air. We were pretty spooked and unsettled by the whole experience. I will also add that every morning I found my clothes from the night before under the table that I kept my suitcase on. (which was in front of said window). I NEVER leave clothes on hotel floors. As soon as I undress, they go right on top of my suit case, or on a table or dresser. On morning number one I wrote it off as maybe too much wine, but realized that was not the case after it occurred again the following two mornings. The feelings that the hotel vibes on you, and the history, you know there are spirits. My personal experience was on day two when we left around noon to hit pikes place. As soon as I took my first few steps down the stair case I saw a blur of a person walking above us, past the stairway railing from the long velvet curtain hall way. I turned around right away, since I had yet to see anyone on our floor, but no one was there. But I swear saw someone and felt the air shift. Now that I think of it, it was probably the ghost going to our room to mess with our window and throw my clothes on the floor. LOL

    Single room.

    The single room was adequate. No frills such as a refrigerator or iron. But who really stays in their hotel while traveling? The reason I won't be returning is the guy at the service desk. He was really snarky. He might think he is being humorous, but not me.

There's only a small area for parking in front of the hotel and it's also the spot for Valet. You'll likely have to post up in the travel lane to check in or drop off your car. The hotel has some unique amenities but I wasn't able to use them for such a short stay. The King corner room far exceeded my expectations. It's spacious and felt pretty luxurious. The star of the room is the soaking tub. It's deep and the water is hot. I especially liked that there's a separate shower. The workspace is nice and there are plenty of plugs for everything. The Nespresso comes stocked and is free to use. The mini bar, not so much, and it's pretty pricy. The bed. THE BED! If I could have brought it home with me I would have. It's lush and it smelled good. Like fresh dryer sheets good. I don't think I've ever said that about a hotel bed before. If you need a firm bed you won't like this one. I didn't have much interaction with the staff but when I did it was pleasant. I am definitely staying here again.

They did check us in at 2pm and we had requested to be put in a room with a good view but we were put in the worst possible room.

We couldn't control the shower pressure and it was very very strong, the shower was very unpleasant. Anyways, I can't blame it all on the hotel but having asked for a hotel with a good view and gotten an acknowledgement saying they'd do what they could and having gown the worst possible room...it has left us with a bad taste. $500+ for this view is very disappointing.

    I had a great stay at The Sound Hotel Seattle Belltown and would definitely consider staying here…read moreagain. I booked it partly because it's part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection, so I could earn and redeem Hilton Honors points. That was a huge plus since I was visiting during the World Cup and hotel prices were absolutely wild: close to $800 a night if I had paid out of pocket! The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. There was a bellman opening the door, everyone we interacted with was friendly and accommodating, and it was always easy to grab an Uber right outside the hotel. One feature I really liked was the little pantry in the lobby. It's basically a self-service convenience store stocked with local candy, snacks, wine, beer, and other treats. You scan everything yourself and can charge it directly to your room, which was super convenient. We used our HHonors stay credit to buy a small bottle of Washington State wine and some local chocolates. The hotel has a really fun music theme throughout, and the design is modern with a Scandinavian-inspired feel. As a Gen Xer, I thought the vibe was just plain cool without trying too hard. Our standard King room had huge windows, a spacious sitting area, and clean, minimalist European-style décor that felt fresh and comfortable. The hotel itself was also surprisingly quiet despite being located in an urban area, so we slept really well. The only disappointment was our view. It wasn't much to look at. I was secretly hoping for an upgrade, but no luck. Not a deal breaker, just a minor letdown considering one side of the hotel affords perfect views of the Space Needle. The location is excellent for sightseeing on foot. We walked to Pike Place Market in about 10 minutes, and the Space Needle was also around a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction. Just be prepared for Seattle's hills! They're no joke, and you'll be going up and down some very, very steep streets to get to the waterfront. There are also plenty of great restaurants, bars, shops, and coffee shops within easy walking distance. One thing I'd mention is that while we felt comfortable during the day, after dinner around 10:45 p.m. we decided to take an Uber back from the Pike Place Market area instead of walking back to the hotel because parts of the area felt a little sketchy at night. Seattle has a very serious problem with drug users and unhoused folks, and they can get a little scary. I feel so badly for them, but I also felt a lot safer in an Uber than trying to walk back in the downtown area that late at night. The Sound is a stylish, comfortable hotel with excellent service, a great location, and a fun personality. If you're a Hilton Honors member, it's an especially solid choice when Seattle hotel prices are high.

The front desk had a room available for me a little earlier than normal check-in and had wonderful suggestions for a little snack around the hotel. The room is much more spacious than pictures can show. I really enjoyed the two separate seating areas. The window area settee was the perfect place for a snack and using my laptop to prepare for the next day. The closet has more than just two hangers, which I appreciated being able to hang the clothes that needed to be hung and steamed later. The bed was soft, but not overly so and the charging options on the nightstand helped me keep some of my electronics packed and neat. Being in Downtown Seattle, I really didn't feel like I needed a car. The Sound is situated in a great place to just walk where I needed to go. Less than five minutes away from Westlake where I could catch either the monorail or Link, was very convenient for me. I enjoy walking around to get familiar with the area I'm in and there was so much to see!!! I will be back to The Sound for my next Seattle adventure!

Also many times throughout our stay we had a 15+ minute wait time at the elevators. There's 4 of them, but sometimes only 2 were running and with as many floors as they have, 20+, that's not adequate. They also do not have adequate seating for their evening reception or breakfast! During baseball season this hotel is NUTS! The proximity to the stadiums is awesome though & their only saving grace during this time. The adjacent restaurant, 30 Coin, not officiated with the hotel, also has an incredibly rude hostess & manager. Their wait times were insane, but it was due to poor staffing cause there were empty tables and bar stools. The staff at Zephyr was much more inviting & kind. They're the ones that told us the strikers were just being greedy cause they are pleased with their pay & healthcare. Maybe these strikers need to go back to college & find a new profession if they aren't satisfied with the life this work can provide them! Taking it out on the guests is shameful!

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 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.
