The breakfast buffet waiting staff was better than most restaurants that I've been to in the last year. Very friendly, ... attentive and ready to serve... something that seems lost with the younger staff which is more in tune to talking with each other than doing their job! Also, the happy hour on the top floor was super at a reasonable price. Lastly, the bell boy was on top of his game, ready and eager to help without asking. I will stay here again!

Ry-Ry Oct 17, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

We really enjoyed our stay here and feel that it was well worth what we spent. Highly recommended! My wife and I were just ... spending a 3 day weekend in Seattle to be tourists and just because. The location of the hotel was very convenient for all of the Seattle tourist locations. We didn't take a single taxi with the exception of to/from the airport - we walked everywhere with the exception of one monorail ride over the the Experience Music Project and the Space Needle. Would highly recommend the Underground Tour. The staff was great in terms of recommendating place to go, eat, etc. They even upgraded us to a suite at no add'l charge. The hill down to Puget Sound is steep, so if you are there during the winter months you may have to take a taxi around or you can also head north or south and the hill is a much lower incline. We only made the 6 block trek all the way up it once and our legs were burning. Food was great.

We have stayed all over Seattle, and this is our 2nd trip to the Renaissance. It is a beautiful, comfortable hotel, that is ... spotless. The coffee bar (thanks Jason!) is just the best, which turns in to a comfy bar at night. Kick back on the sofa and have coffee or a drink, internet surf in a comfy setting. Rooms are spotless. Concierge the most helpful ever. Same exact rooms as the Grand Hyatt down the street, only a better and more equipped lobby.

Anniversary trip

Val SD traveler Aug 18, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

After booking on Orbitz, I called the Renaissance more than a month before to request a King bed and was not told that it ... wasn't guaranteed. Upon our arrival we were told that there were no king rooms available. We were very disappointed because we were there celebrating our anniversary(our 23rd & hadn't done anything like this since our 5th). After getting to our room we also had the misfortune of getting a room on the 10th floor overlooking the I-5. I called the front desk to complain(about the double whammy) and the nice young lady([...], I believe who was much nicer than the young lady that checked us in)said she would put our name down to move to a King room if one opened up. About an hour later we were called & moved to a King suite. It was still overlooking the freeway(8th floor), but a beautiful room with a King bed. Thank you, [...]!

Renaissance Seattle Hotel Aug 2009

Slepped in Seattle Aug 16, 2009

We showed up at the hotel only to find that they had no 4 person rooms available. They acknolleged that our reservationwas ... for four persons, and two queen beds but for some reason were unable to plan ahead for our arrival. Additionally they ingnored our Orbitz coupon and tried to charge us for parking until I corrected them. I'm not sure they really wanted me there. I know they consider themselves and upper class hotel, however there amenities are just not there. There is no free wifi or internet. I found the hotel was constantly trying ways to add charges to our room bill. Next time I will book the Hampton Inn.

Entertainment tip, Short Walk

1st hill bar up madison st was a pretty cool place

--IceBurg, Monroe, IA Nov 20, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Walk

Pike Street Market close by and worth the trip.

--Renaissance Seattle Hotel, Portland, OR Nov 14, 2009

Dining tip, Short Drive

Rice and Spice near Seattle Center is a delicious Thai restaurant.

--Mags, Skykomish, WA Nov 9, 2009

Dining tip, Short Walk

McCormick's Restaurant is about 2-3 blocks away on 4th Avenue and has really good seafood. The Underground Tour in Pioneer Square was our favorite tourist attraction.

--Ry-Ry, Aurora, IL Oct 17, 2009

Shopping tip, Short Walk

Eclectic downtown just blocks away. Well worth the walk!

--Seattle first timer, California Oct 13, 2009

Dining tip, Short Walk

Sazerac just a minute away is a great restaurant. Also the hotel is a hike, up hill to get back from the market. We like it that way though, we always come back fit with no weight gain. And we eat our way through Seattle, trust me!

--Judi, Fresno CA Oct 13, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip

Everything is withing walking distance or reachable with a bus. Car service, and car rentals are not worth it.

--NYC Hipster, Brooklyn, NY Aug 31, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip

Definitely purchase a "City Pass". Well worth the cost and includes many attractions.

--Trip Booker Deb, Boise, Idaho Aug 22, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Walk

CityPass to Seattle is excellent.

--Slepped in Seattle, San Francisco, CA Aug 16, 2009

Money savers tip, Short Walk

Get the CityPass book that has passes for the Space Needle, Aquarium, Zoo, Ferry tour, Experience Music Museum, Science Museum (both museums adjacent to the Space Needle). It saves a lot, cost of book is about the cost to do two of these individually. You can buy the book at any of these attractions.

--BigDfamily, Dallas, Texas Aug 12, 2009

Shopping tip, Long Walk

Pike Place Market.

--Rick, Minneapolis Jul 29, 2009

Entertainment tip, Short Walk

The Duck tour was the highlight I suggested to several family members and they loved it. Also the Winery Tours inexpensive and knowledgeble. Take the Airporter bus from the Airport at gate 00 . It is the least expensive way to get to the Hotels as oppose to the Taxi. $11.00 compared to $35.00

--goodness, New Jersey Jul 14, 2009

Dining tip, Short Drive

Salty's - West Seattle

--Sooch, New York, NY Jul 7, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Walk

It's a short walk down to the pier and shopping, however, the walk includes a steep climb back up to the hotel approx. 5 blocks. It's like climbing the streets of San Francisco without a cable car.

--Wade B, Canyon, TX Jul 4, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Drive

We reccomend visiting the Seattle Zoo. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and have at least a few hours to spare if you want to see a good portion of it.

--retash091, Florence, Or. Jul 1, 2009

Entertainment tip, Long Walk

If you don't want to walk to the football or baseball fields, a cab was very easy to find and only ran about $7!

--Jenn, Portland, OR Jun 22, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip, Long Walk

Pike Place Market - don't miss it!!!

--Rick McD, danville, ca Jun 11, 2009

Entertainment tip, Short Walk

Stay close to Pike Street and 3rd Ave and everything is close by.

--Aniversary, Miami, FL Jun 6, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip, Long Walk

Get out of the hotel and walk around! It's a gorgeous city and the hotel is in the heart of it all.

--skb, New York city Jun 1, 2009

Money savers tip

do not rent a car. Public transportation is the way to go.
