Football getaway

The hotel was nice and room was clean & comfortable. The description in orbitz led me to believe the parking was free and the hotel has a free shuttle which was not the case for either and was the main reason why I booked this hotel. Was very disappointed about this.

Perfect for what we needed.

We were in town for the N.Y. Yankees series at Safeco Field. The hotel was nice and staff friendly. The shuttle service offered to the game was reasonable and quick. The breakfast offered was also a nice to have.

Not bad at all

I went to Seattle for a conference. I was at the Holiday Inn Express and the room was very acceptable. The continental breakfast was very nice though. I enjoyed my stay.

Simple, but sufficient

No frills, but we got my 3 year old and I needed: Clean room, hair dryer, functional TV with kids channels, easy-to-use bath/ shower, and best of all, a view of Space Needle. Conveniently located to attractions and freeways. The reception desk was helpful with directions. The only thing I regret is that it faces a busy street that traffic does not die down till 3 in the morning. Kids will sleep through it, but bring ear plugs for yourself.
