TripAdvisor Review: Holiday Inn Express Seattle: Finally A Nice Place In Seattle
We had a 2-room suite on the fifth floor facing the Space Needle. The view was great although we didn’t spend much time enjoying it. I’ve read people complaining about traffic noise but we didn’t find it to be a problem at all. The room was spacious and the beds very comfortable, although the sofa bed left something to be desired but it is a sofa bed so what can one expect? Probably the first time I’ve had more pillows than I knew what to do with. The check-in process was quick and painless and we even got a little welcome package with bottled water and popcorn. The room had everything we needed and then some, I am particularly appreciative of the fridge.
My nearly 2-year-old came along for the trip and he seemed to enjoy the room; it gave him room to play and was reasonably child safe - and a decent selection of channels including cartoons helped.
The indoor pool isn’t very big and is rather simple so we didn’t bother actually trying it out. The TVs in the rooms are good size with decent quality although the power button didn’t work on one of our remotes. Getting up and running on the internet did require a call for some technical support but they walked us through the process quickly enough. The water pressure in the shower was impressive and refreshing – the provided shampoo smelled like cinnamon oatmeal and the conditioner almost had a custard aroma (you’ll likely come out of the shower feeling hungry). They even provided cotton swabs which I always forget to pack.
As mentioned in other reviews the parking is incredibly tight, that really would be my only criticism of this property. I’ve stayed in a few hotels in Seattle and the surrounding area like Everett and I have to say this is the first one that I would not only stay at again but look forward to the opportunity. It does cost a bit more but the Seattle market for accommodations is a little tricky so given what’s available it’s worth putting out a little extra green for. I am very impressed with the Holiday Inn Express brand based on this experience and will probably start my next hotel search with them in mind.
