Food9 mentions
- “Summer 2023 and the place was crawling with zombies, rough sleepers druggies etc we stayed in the Kimpton Monaco that was understaffed, one inadequate restaurant that the hotel had disowned, no room service.” 1
- “We stayed at the Kimpton Vintage, we enjoyed the fact it was wine-themed! It was a gorgeous friendly place, with lots of perks like bar credit and free desserts in the Tulio restaurant. 5th Avenue at Spring, handy for downtown and Pike Place.” 1
- “Breakfast service in the ajoining restaurant didn't start until after 10am (could only get a coffee in the bar) as the chef hadn't turned in and everyone else was new.” 1
- “The restaurant had extremely limited hours. The hotel and grounds were not clean. Disappointed as a brand under the Marriott name. Would not recommend.” 18
- “The dining experience at Fountain followed the same disappointing trend, but my breakfast was well worth it.” 21
- “The other problem I had with this property is that there was no delivery options and there wasn't anything other then fast food in the area!” 18
- “The catered food is good.” 13
- “I definitely recommend choosing breakfast over extra Bonvoy points, unless you have a small appetite in the morning.” 21
- “The lounge was booming with guests, and the food quality wasn't bad.” 21

- “As soon as walked in, I found a mini-fridge and a disappointing Mr.Coffee coffee machine.” 21
- “Ok, it's not the Four Seasons ;o)))....but we had a great stay at the Embassy Suites! Really punching above its weight in every respect, especially the large quiet room with fabulous views.” 1
- “As an alternative to a conventional desk lamp, there was a wall lamp with beautiful glass art - another accent celebrating Chihuly and his influence.” 21
- “Stayed at the four points in Cali Colombia. Was given a suite + a huge fruit welcome amenity and wine. I thought I was at a different brand. The room was massive.” 18
- “Really punching above its weight in every respect, especially the large quiet room with fabulous views.” 1
- “Spacious and modern rooms with a retro look The 158 rooms and suites have been recently renovated with a somewhat retro style that deviates from the other areas of the hotel. There's beige plaid carpeting and wooden furniture that, while in good condition, is a little on the cheap-looking side.” 22
- “The other difference is the Renaissance has the most stylish decor.” 18
- “The rest of the room was occupied by accent furniture and a chaise lounge with a side table. I tried to rest on it, but it was firmer than the mattress and was intolerably uncomfortable.” 21
- “4 Points is basically a Courtyard Marriott equivalent. That's how I compare them. No frills, just a clean comfortable basic room.” 18
- “Voucher was for Four point Sheraton, but it was like 8th floors of Motel 6 big AC in big window with rubber/plastic curtains facing the walk outside like a motel, newest item in room LG lcd, I could see coach passengers getting that hotel too so 30 min waiting to check in at 12 30 am with a food voucher 25 dollars but kitchen is closing 1 am” 18
- “The bedroom and bathroom showed age and had substandard features and confusing messages.” 21
- “While I'll never complain about a room being too big, I actually found the layout a bit awkward with a lot of unused spaced.” 15
- “It had two full bathrooms, a dining room table with seating for four, a fake fireplace, etc. It wasn't just that the room itself was beautiful, but the service at the hotel was great, the entire property was spotless, etc.” 18
- “The decor is pleasant and fairly modern, with gray geometric patterned carpeting, stone walls, boxy shelving units and bright throw pillows in many of the common areas.” 22
- “They also offer cheaper non-refundable rooms. We managed to check in early and the room was compact but well designed with a super king bed against the far wall with a large window.” 1
- “We had a great stay at the Kimpton Palladian. Smallish rooms but we were in Seatttle to do things, not stay in a hotel room.” 1
- “They also offer cheaper non-refundable rooms. We managed to check in early and the room was compact but well designed with a super king bed against the far wall with a large window. OH is 6' 3" and said the bed length was comfortable.” 1
- “I recently stayed at the FourPoints in Lima/Peru. I also got a suite upgrade. Not as posh as the in Guangzhou, not two levels like in Lucky's OP, but also very nice.” 18
- “We used Intercontinental Bellevue: a shortish Uber from the centre and much nicer area We had a great stay at the Kimpton Palladian. We had a great stay at the Kimpton Palladian. Smallish rooms but we were in Seatttle to do things, not stay in a hotel room.” 1
- “The hotel's modern rooms and suites are equipped with all the amenities you need, including a flat-screen TV, minibar, and comfortable beds.” 19
- “well here's the best part of the room I think what it has to do with is the view Seattle's a gorgeous City this is a pike here and it goes down to the the market” On camera207:16
- “The room windows were on the narrow side, and the view wasn't spectacular. If you are looking for a great view of downtown Seattle, I recommend staying at Hyatt Regency Downtown Seattle.” 21
- “big picture window there's no lines in it it's actually very clean so if you wanted to take pictures you could get a nice shot without any dirt or debris on the outside of the glass” On camera207:56
- “First impressions of this room is really beautiful. Well done.” On camera174:02
- “If you're there to have fun (I was there for a buddy's bachelor party), it's a perfect spot. We paid extra to have a second floor balcony literally on Bourbon Street, which was absolutely what we were looking for.” 13
- “When I entered my room, I was surprised by how ordinary the room looked and wondered how outdated the rooms could be in the other tower.” 21
- “Brisbane is deceiving. It's lobby makes it look small and tacky but what you find in the rooms is ultra moden and certainly very impressive (and thats not even going to a suite either).” 18
- “My first impression of the room was that it was simple, but huge. I can't remember the last time I've stayed in a basic hotel room with such high ceilings and large windows.” 15
- “Admittedly it's not furnished like a Four Seasons, but still, check out how gorgeous the room was. It had two full bathrooms, a dining room table with seating for four, a fake fireplace, etc.” 18

- “For the price point, the Sheridan Grand Seattle is a great bargain.” On camera178:36
- “I was also put off by the nightly $26 amenity fee at the Kimpton Palladian as probably wouldn't have used any of the benefits.” 1
- “Guests familiar with Starwood properties might not find this Four Points up to par, but the cozy and colorful hotel, with a 24-hour gym and business amenities, is generally a good value.” 22
- “The price for the night is a steal, I paid 89.” 13
- “Reviews of the Four Points Sheraton Downtown Seattle Center often mention the hotel's affordable prices, especially when compared to other hotels in the downtown area.” 19
- “Had originally booked Kimpton Palladian but changed my mind and cancelled and booked CitizenM South Lake Union for a lower cost and felt it was very good value.” 1
- “I considered the Four Points Sheraton Seattle Airport a win, especially considering we were able to redeem 7,000 SPG points when paid rates were around $300/night.” 15

- “Reviewers praise the hotel's friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent service.” 19
- “Amazing service, and I stayed for only $75/night all in.” 13
- “When I arrived at the hotel late in the evening, I noticed the lobby smelled amazing. I asked the friendly associate about it, and he said it was "the Four Points signature scent."” 18
- “Extremely satisfied guests often comment on the hotel's affordability, cleanliness, and friendly staff, which are just a few of the many reasons to consider booking a stay here.” 8
- “Rooms not cleaned for 2nd day in a row in spite of reminding the front desk manager and making sure the don't disturb tag was taken off.” 6
- “The service is poor and they have a race closing off the parking tomorrow so we can't use our car until after nine or we have to park 4 blocks away in an unsecured lot. What??? And no one even knew what to do about it .” 18
- “I received a minor room upgrade thanks to my Titanium Elite status, and the check-in representative kindly offered a room choice between the two towers.” 21
- “Extended parking is $10 per night, which is quite reasonable with a reliable shuttle service between the airport and hotel 24 hours per day (the shuttle ride takes about 15 minutes).” 15
- “No one really greeted or sat us, so we awkwardly waited by the entrance and eventually decided to sit ourselves. After browsing the menu, I wanted to place an order, but a waitress didn't even give me a glance until I raised my hand. Even then, she said I would have to wait for my turn, and took care of tables that came after me.” 21
- “The staff were very friendly and helpfullt provided plenty of recommendations for local eating and drinking.” 1
- “The Four Points Sheraton at the Milwaukee airport is awful. During our 3 night stay we received no daily cleaning. If you needed clean towels you had to go to the front desk and request them.” 18
- “It had two full bathrooms, a dining room table with seating for four, a fake fireplace, etc. It wasn't just that the room itself was beautiful, but the service at the hotel was great, the entire property was spotless, etc.” 18
- “While I was appreciating some art, the lobby became very crowded with hotel guests. Even with many check-in representatives, the line didn't dwindle easily.” 21
- “I regularly stay at the 4 Points in Perth and Brisbane Australia, pretty much the only chance I get to stay at SPG hotels. They are both really nice with great lobbies, bars and quality rooms.” 18
- “As a matter of fact, the hotel's sleek design and friendly staff make it an ideal spot for both business and leisure travelers.” 8
- “While not my personal style preference, everything was spotlessly clean and the towels were soft.” 15
- “The location is convenient enough with a reliable shuttle service, and being part of Starwood means certain brand standards can be expected.” 15
- “got here at a KingSize bed everything seems to be clean and crisp they did a great job in housekeeping” On camera200:22

- “At the Sheraton downtown Denver-what a mess! The footprint is so strange.” 18
- “While not exactly downtown, this no-frills, family-friendly hotel is fairly convenient to the attractions at Seattle Center, including the Space Needle, and the core of downtown Seattle is a short monorail or bus ride away.” 22
- “5th Avenue at Spring, handy for downtown and Pike Place.” 1
- “The surrounding area, like other neighbourhoods near the airport, doesn't feel very inviting and borders on sketchy.” 15
- “In some respects, the Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Seattle Center reviews rave about the hotel's exceptional service, comfortable rooms, and unbeatable location, making it a top pick for anyone planning a trip to Seattle.” 8
- “With its prime location, guests can easily access many of the city's top attractions, such as the Seattle Center, Space Needle, and Pike Place Market.” 19

- “With its prime location, guests can easily explore the city's vibrant attractions, such as the Seattle Center, Pike Place Market, and the waterfront, all within a short walk or drive.” 8
- “One of the great things about the Sheridan is the location. The convention center is right across the street. There's also a movie theater right next door and plenty of restaurants nearby.” On camera176:12
- “The hotel still feels fresh (it opened in 2020) and is in a pleasant area a short walk from the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass, which we visited on the Saturday morning.” 1
- “There was a small sitting area between the two windows, though the view outside was of the busy highway with only a sliver of water viewable in the distance. There were, however, some decent views of airplanes landing at the nearby airport.” 15
- “The location is convenient enough with a reliable shuttle service, and being part of Starwood means certain brand standards can be expected.” 15
Bathroom6 mentions · 1 filmed
- “The bedroom and bathroom showed age and had substandard features and confusing messages.” 21

- “The spacious bathrooms are much nicer, and have wood vanities with smooth white tops and large curtained shower/tub combos with built-in shampoo and soap dispensers.” 22

Noise4 mentions
- “So no junkies lying in the street with needles sticking out of their arm 2 blocks up from the Palladian like I saw in June 24 then? I liked it as a hotel but the staffing level was a disaster back then.” 1
- “The 2 floor suite looked very much like the one you have except it has a private elevator! WOW! Very convenient for wheelchair and luggage!” 13
