Hotels on the Lake in Seattle

"This place is a peeling and outdated mess. From smoky lights and stains on lamps and water damaged doors- I can't believe that DoubleTree allows such a rundown property to carry their brand. I stay at DoubleTrees often and this place is so close to the airport and always full- yet has not had the owners making investments to keep it modern or comfortable. Rooms are outdated and lack basic modern conveniences that many less expensive places have. No refrigerators, no USB outlets, peeling doors, stained lamps, worse pillows I have ever had. Truly dissappointed in how bad this stay was for it being a DoubleTree that is always packed. This is a property that is a cautionary tale for brands that let their hotels decay and become outdated and don't care about guest experiences. The location can't be beat, but look elsewhere if you want a good stay- or go back in time and re-live the best of 1998- because that what it felt like at this hotel. "

"Great hotel and walking distance from many attractions and stores. Paid open parking across the street which was convenient. Very clean all around. "

Unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by serious issues in the room and how they were handled. When I arrived, my room was unbearably hot. I read the note by the window explaining the hotel’s seasonal heating/AC plan, which advised opening the window. However, when I tried to do so, I discovered the window was broken. It suddenly slammed shut and nearly severed two of my fingertips. It was both dangerous and painful. I went downstairs to explain the situation. A staff member came up to inspect the room and agreed that it was extremely hot and had a disgusting smell. He said he would return with a solution, but instead came back with two spray bottles and began spraying strong scents all over the room, on the walls and in every corner. I expressed concern, especially since the window couldn’t properly open, but by then it was already done. He then used a bath towel to prop the window open about five inches. I asked if I could please be moved to another room, but was told the hotel was full. I asked repeatedly for any alternative solution and was told, verbatim, “I will go down and see what I can do for you.” I also requested to speak with a manager or owner, but that request was not accommodated. He left and said he would be right back, but never retur"
