    Leak in ceiling
    Melissa A.

    Terrible experience with the Westin. Bar employee was rude to us and had no etiquette. Our room was "upgraded" twice per the manager but there isn't really any upgrade. We have a leak in the ceiling and AC isn't working. The rooms are old and smell just the same. Hotel definitely needs to be updated. I won't be staying here against

    30th floor views

    I LOVED MY STAY (5 stars) Ever wonder about those two circular buildings in downtown Seattle. That is The Westin Hotel (owned by The Marriott). Pricy but worth it. Having a great night sleep in Sleepless Seattle says it all. :: THE ROOM :: DELUXE CITY, GUESS ROOM, 1 KING, SOFA BED, CITY VIEWS ($372/night) - the room was updated (not all rooms are), very clean, spacious, and was on the 30th floor with a city view. I wasn't at the very top but I was OK with that as I was on the higher part of North tower. I had a great view of the south part of downtown. The fridge was located inside the cabinet under the TV fully equipped with some good quality waters, juices, and alcohol. It had a glass desk looking out the window, two sofas, and ample space. The bed was how I like my bed (not too hard and not too soft) and the pillows were firm and plush - also how I like my pillows. Since one wall is the entire window, adding a few extra degrees to the heater may be needed during the colder months. Overall, I was impressed with the room and wanted to be hermit and stay in and stay comfy - only went out to eat. I was high enough to not hear any fentanyl zombies roaming the streets at night. Did occasionally hear rice rocket cars revving their engines to make their ugly muffler delete sound loud. But this is in the heart of downtown and the noise below travels upward when it's just all buildings all around. Yes, I am a Marriott member. Got some perks - free WiFi instead of paying $20. Received a $20 voucher to use for food/drinks (just charge to room), tickets for argosy cruise for two, and free 2-hour bike rental with equipment for two. Since it was cold, eating was the only outside the hotel activity. :: SERVICE :: Exceptional! Came to the hotel 5hrs before check-in and my room was ready. They do have luggage service but if your room is ready they allowed me to check-in. Everything was great. House keeping. Staff around the hotel. Everything and everyone was welcoming. :: AMENITIES :: They have two gyms areas and a heated swimming pool. Forgot the swimming gear so missed out on this. Their gym had the good equipment (Peloton, LifeTime brand equipment for the Thredmill, etc). I was pleased with the amenities. Matched what you pay for your stay. They had a FedEx office inside too and a little convenient store. This hotel also attracts business people - like many Marriotts, there are several halls for business events or conferences. I think I found my new go-to hotel whenever traveling to Seattle! Until the next stay....

    Great services, but this may be the most outdated Westin I've been to... great view though! don't forget to use the credits - on the last day, almost everyone in line at the coffee shop downstairs were tried to use the hotel credits.

    Receipt from booking showing room type

    Our experience with the Westin Seattle began when we attempted to cancel our reservation due to plans changing and hoping that they had a 24-hour complimentary policy. We were stuck on hold for an hour only to get an outsourced call center, which was not helpful. Oh well, we decided to make it work and stay. We arrived at the hotel around 11:30 a.m. and attempted to check in or, at worst, leave our luggage to go out into the city. To our surprise, we were able to, which we were very appreciative of. The front desk agent that helped us was very helpful and nice. After receiving our keys and making it up to our room, we were surprised to see it was not the room we had booked. We received a room with two full-sized beds vs. the one king bed. Due to how busy the front desk was and how long the initial wait took, we decided to just keep the room as we had somewhere we had to be at 1. We were very disappointed that we did not receive the room that we booked. This was our first time staying at a Westin property. The room itself was an average hotel room and not exactly what I'd expect when I hear "Westin". Our tv did not work. We attempted to unplug and look at the power strip, but we gave up and went to bed. The bed was pretty comfortable, and I enjoyed the pillows. The bathroom was a standard hotel bathroom. Overall, the total experience from before we arrived, trying to get customer service to having our room messed up with the rooms themselves being an average room at best, led to a 2-star review.

    I love, love, love this location! The staff is top notch and you truly get the Marriott experience here. From the moment you check in and get a list of perks; coffee voucher, free boat tour tickets, and a food/bar credit your mini vacation begins. The rooms are nice and have some great views of the city, especially at night, when everything is lit up. It's a short walk to Pikes Place and all the fun activities. Publix transportation is easily accessible too. The staff at the bar is wonderful too. Knowledgeable and personable. The food is good and they have a couple things that are vegan friendly. I've never had a bad experience here and will definitely return.

    The Westin Seattle is a bustling oasis in the heart of downtown. It's poised perfectly between both the space needle and the Pike Market if you're visiting for the first time. The two towers ascend about 40 floors for a view of the bay and the city buildings near by. Park is relatively easy but $60/nt. It was great for a business trip and if I were there for leisure and sightseeing it'd be a great spot, but a bit pricey for a budget traveler. The lobby gets very busy in the morning so anticipate not being able to eat breakfast at the hotel. With enough options close by there are better choices anyway. Didn't check out the gym but the hotel has a number of amenities (including borrowing gym clothes) as well as a pool.

    I went on a 3 day trip to Seattle and I wanted to try out this hotel. There were things that were great and not so great about this hotel. Here are my pros and cons about this hotel. Pros: Good location - hotel is in the middle of the Metropolitan area and easy convenience to the street. No restaurants besides the one in the hotel are around. A Marriott Property - I am a Marriott Bonvoy member and I earned points at this location. For a Marriott owned property, I enjoyed the amenities this place had to offer. Low cost budget hotel - For people who are staying in Seattle less than 3 days, this hotel is a great choice. This hotel falls under $800 for two nights. Now the cons: Keys and Elevators - Upon checking in online, I requested a mobile key to go to my room faster. The mobile key worked in every area of the hotel except the elevators. I had to go down to the lobby to request a physical key. If you want a seamless and fast experience, I would get a physical key instead of digital. Parking - Because I rented a rental car, I had to park on site. The main on site parking is super small for such a huge hotel. On the first night, I was able to find parking in the main structure. On the second night, the main structure and valet were full. I had to park across the street in their overflow structure. It was surprisingly cheaper at $15, then the main structure at $60. The overflow structure is connected to the hotel via a bridge. I would be staying here again only for the view of my room. There are other Marriott and Hilton properties in the area that are much better than this property.

    Hello there, RoseMarie was amazing. Housekeeping, and Westin corp. you all need to know that this lady is a Gem. You are so lucky to have this woman as an employee! Please recognize her as one of your top employees! She is one reason why we will come back and stay with you in this hotel! You do not run into many individuals who make an impact on your life! Rose Marie did that, she deserves a raise! Feel free to send up a bottle of wine for our wedding anniversary! Room 4238 Thank you for being part of our happiness! I also want to recognize Roselene Mony....what a wonderful person/ she was there on the 28 of December... housekeeping! Please let her know as well as Rosemarie that they are both Gems! It is wonderful to know that you hired two Angels and some people don't even know it! Thank you two ladies for making our anniversary trip happy!

    Everything is old, damaged, broken, or smelly.

    Cheap 1-star motel rooms for inflated 5-star prices. We hosted a conference here and it was a big mistake. Our attendees were extremely unhappy with the rooms, which were smelly, outdated, suffocating, and poorly ventilated. Not a single window opens in the entire hotel. No fresh air makes for some serious STINK. Our room smelled of feet and body odor. Things in the rooms were broken, stained, and damaged - unidentified stains on the carpet, windows smeared and cracked, furniture peeling (see photos). No problem if it's a cheap motel, but for $300/night??? NO. XXXX When we were switched to another room, the AC unit screeched all day and night - a horrid metal-on-metal sound. At first they told us it was "the wind." It wasn't. Turn off AC, no screeching. But since there is otherwise no ventilation, we had to keep it on, because it was suffocating without it. Also super inconvenient for conferences is the fact that there is only one escalator from the mezzanine conference rooms to the lobby and vice versa. So if the escalator breaks, as it did during our conference, there are NO STAIRS to get between floors. Which is a fire hazard, not just an inconvenience. In summary: run down, stained, sdirty, broken motel that overcharges and under-delivers.

    Peloton/bike gym
    Mimi W.

    Centrally located right across from a small mall with the monorail stop, as well as a shopping area and lots of office buildings. Two round towers, east to recognize, but a bit shorter than the other buildings around. Decent gym and amenities. The lobby and lobby bar are nice and there's usually free bottled water put out by the front desk, which is nice. Stayed at the north tower, midway up, with great city views and large windows. The closet and dresser was small. Blankets were a bit heavy for me, but otherwise beds were comfortable. Looks like they've updated a bit superficially, but there's no main lighting switch - we had to turn the lights on and off from the lamp switches manually. Stayed here for 5 nights, we were able to walk to most of the touristy destinations around, so the best part is the location. The monorail across is only $4 each way, but only stops at the Space Needle, still a nice ride to see the city above ground.

    Time to upgrade, update and replace!

    I only choose to stay at The Westin Seattle because of the proximity to my office that's it. - Everything beyond the lobby is in serious need of a renovation. Rooms smell funky, all the furniture is damaged and dilapidated. - The walls are paper thin. I could hear the conversation of the lady in room next door while she was speaking at a normal volume. - The WiFi is useless. I tried to connect unsuccessfully several times and when I tried to call the front desk for help, they transferred me to tech support who kept me hold and weren't very friendly.

    We had to buy a cheap set of drawers on Amazon to avoid piling our underwear and socks on the table or TV stand.

    Gorgeous new place on the block!!…read more Stunning new event space right in south lake union/ downtown with sweeping lake union views. Views alone were worth a trip or 4!! Came for the opening of this shiny new spot yesterday. A gorgeous 3,000 square foot event space that was completely remodeled: with in house catering, vendors, event planners, photo booths, musician! And the food. It was like going to a super fun wedding minus the formality of it. The owner was there as well: super passionate and shared the story of how she bought this space sight unseen: took a long process in turning this into a gorgeous space that it is now. It was super cool! And the food!! They allow outside catering too but the in-house catering: Kaspar catering : baos topped with micro greens and mint. Steamed to serve! Poke rolls :delicious! Panna cotta : in a cup! Lisa Dupar catering: this one was fantastic as I've had a chance to taste their food in the past at a wedding. The gorgeous cupcakes, macarons, molasses cookies and stunning cake. All were so pretty! Mark ryan wine! I mean, what's not to love as it's one of the wineries I frequent in Woodinville wine country. My pup baci's favorite too. Luxe Photo Booth: this one was so fun! The 360 Photo Booth!! I've seen them in Time Squares recently as well as at a valentines event. But this one was so much more fun as I didn't have to wait in line or fight the crowd for it. The person that was running it was super friendly and helpful too. The jazz musician was pretty rad too. And they had valet!! Butler Valet: All the friendly guys in uniform waiting for you as you arrived during rush hour in downtown: pretty darn cool. All events should be this cool. I'm only going to events with valet from now on! Ok thanks. Overall, this was such a fun place.I came to check out the space: left with all the food and fun.The space, the team, the design, the music!! And that Photo Booth: all are essential part of throwing an epic event. All events should be this fun!! I guess they will be if you throw them here: weddings, birthdays, corporate events, sweet 16th.

This venue is exceptional for so many reasons: not only is it a non-profit venue, but they light over 100 candles for your event and provide so many things that you would typically need to rent at other venues (chairs, tables, glassware, etc.). Also there are so many things for your guests to do in downtown Ballard if your wedding is mainly out-of-town guests like ours was. Nate and the team were so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to spend our special day at Cathedral Ballard - it was truly so special!!! :)

There is a ground level and an upstairs. Upon coming in staff greeted us and informed us of the going-Ons upstairs. There were 3 bartenders all of whom were very nice. Lots of seating and small music and dancing area. The food was self-serve, buffet style, catered La Cabana. The salsa and guac were good and was nicely laid out. Cathedral donates much of the earnings made from the use of the space and are also known for their candles which I've received as a gift and can say are nicely scented and benefit causes. So, if you see one in a local shop or otherwise it makes a good gift. Not sure they sell them at this actual location of Cathedral though. If you 're looking to host an event or know someone who wants to, Cathedral has a decent space to be rented out with nice staff who will help manage it.

We also loved that we got to do a tasting beforehand, and the team was wonderful about accommodating dietary restrictions. The bar was just as great! Our specialty cocktail and mocktail were both a big hit. Danielle, the venue manager, was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. Her communication and organization were top-notch, and she was so friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. On the day itself, Danielle and the GTB team were calm, detailed-oriented, and took care of everything behind the scenes so we could enjoy our wedding without stress. The in-house florist created stunning arrangements, which made things that much easier for us. Everyone we interacted with was warm and welcoming. GTB is very LGBTQ-affirming, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. We're still getting compliments from guests about how beautiful and effortless everything felt. Georgetown Ballroom truly gave us the wedding of our dreams.
