    Minor complaint but the toilet paper is not very nice. Cheap and paper thin.. The bathroom is very nice but too small for a couple... Tiny sink and no where to put your things.

    Bed size & very comfortable, size of the suite, lovely shower, bathrobes and a nice little kitchen area with a sink, fridge, wine glasses and wine bottle opener.. much appreciated!

    Rider, the hotel restaurant looked great; however, we did not utilize the convenient location or get to try their menu due to their wood fired grill. We were a bit sensitive to the smokey scents so we decided it was best to avoid the area. Not a big deal; the scent did not travel past the main lobby.

    Location was great. Walking distance to restaurants, shops and famous Pikes Market and about a 10 min Uber/Lyft to the baseball stadium. All staff we encountered were very helpful - from explaining best parking options for our stay, suggestions for restaurants, providing directions and educating us on the history of the hotel. Room was clean & bed was comfortable. Small fridge in room great for extra bottles of water & snacks. Location of our room (7th Ave facing) was quiet.

    Some minor things in the bedroom (King deluxe)-the full length mirror is awkward to access because it's in the closet and the tiny bathroom's light switches weren't located near the bathroom at all. Also the shower is hard to turn on without getting soaked as you try to adjust the spray and temperature. We ate in the restaurant one night and the salmon was awful, but the pork was tasty even though a little dry. The truffle fries were too soaked with truffle sauce to be palatable. Our waitress never asked how the food was but just took away my daughter's barely touched plate of fish and the soggy fries without comment.

    Very beautiful lobby and restaurant; location was great for walking to Pike Place Market and the monorail to the Seattle Center. Comfortable bed.

    No fan in bathroom. Fridge could be colder. It’d be nice if they had a pool or jacuzzi.

    Good location, close to convention center. Good size of room, staff very helpful with getting room upgrade and helping with our requests, friendly too.

    Nothing major but daily room cleaning has to be requested which was not made clear on arrival. Also restaurant a little expensive but plenty of alternatives available.

    Good sized room with nice view with very comfortable bed. Excellent location with short walk to Pike Place market and Waterfront.

    The smell of smoke or incense in the lobby is pretty strong, might not be good for people sensitive to smells. Not a problem in the rooms though. The concierge told me that since I was staying multiple nights, housekeeping would be on request which was fine by me, but then housekeeping came every day anyways so that was a little startling, not a real problem just confusing.

    Cool vintage vibe, comfortable accommodations, so close to the convention center but much more affordable than the Sheridan or Hyatt. It’s so convenient to have a cafe with coffee and pastries in the lobby, and Starbucks is right across the street.

    The lobby and floors smell like smoke, not of cigarette but of strong incense. Its kinda nice, but after a while it started burning my eyes and throat. But you cant really smell it in your room.

    Beautiful hotel in downtown Seattle. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Each room has a Nespresso machine and the pods are free.

    One thing I didn't appreciate...at check-in I was told the security deposit is 75 dollars PER night, which is rather expensive. What's even more interesting is that when they requested the pre-autorisation on my credit card the lady at the reception didn't tell me the whole sum they'd retain and neither was the sum displayed on the machine. So basically you're asked to agree to an amount that you don't know. When I asked the amount she got quite defensive and said she wasn't trying to hide it from me, but it was never mentioned until I specifically asked for the total amount. In other hotels they tell you or it's displayed on the machine.

    The hotel was very central and close to the train to the airport so that was very convenient. I like that they only clean the room upon request which is great for the environment but also for sleeping in. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable.

    I would say that the at times it took a while for the water to get warm in the shower (it does get there though). Also, I think this was specific to my room that there was a noisy conditioning unit. At the same time, it wasn't so bothersome that I made the effort to complain.

    Really enjoyed the location of Hotel Theodore. It was within close proximity to most things. I also found the staff warm and friendly and thought their fitness facilities were adequate (has what most people would be looking for). I liked the decor of the property and enjoyed how much natural light that my room had. Would definitely be open to staying at the property again should I find myself in Seattle.

    The restaurant downstairs has a great atmosphere, but it’s very expensive. Juice and an order of fries cost me $33. The Nespresso machine was hard to figure out, but that could just be me. The paper products used were not soft. Could stand to upgrade those.

    The location was great. Many places within walking distance. We spent a lot of time in the lobby. It was very cozy. The room was large and had everything I needed, including full-sized toiletries. Highly recommend Hotel Theodore.

    As a heritage building, it is physically limited on things like a pool or a hot tub (nice to haves). The bathrooms are clean, tiled and with high-end fixtures, however micro-small. One tiny glass shelf and no place for toiletry kits. Turning-on the shower meant getting sprayed with cold water because of the plumbing compromises the hotel had to make when they changed the original bathtubs for showers. Using the toilet meant sitting slightly cross-wise due to the proximity of the shower enclosure.

    A lovely heritage hotel, fully renovated, meticulously clean, and run by super-motivated staff. From a warm welcome to an offered nightly complimentary glass of wine, we felt more like personal houseguests rather than hotel clients. Rooms are solid and quiet, heralding an artisanal level of construction from the hotel's 1920's initial build. Off the main lobby was a beautiful "blue-sky" meeting area, perfect for chats and relaxing. During the morning, the hotel also ran a superb coffee bar that would give any high-end coffee house a serious run. Not a bad accomplishment for the ancestral city home of Starbucks! Location was convenient for everything downtown.
