Warwick Seattle Hotel

I thought I had booked a room with a king sized bed for my trip, upon arrival I was told that there were only double queen bed rooms left. My fiancé and I chose this hotel mainly because there was supposed to be a pool, hot tub and gym. I wasn’t informed that the pool and hot tub were under construction until after checking in and overhearing an employee telling another guest of the hotel. Our option was to walk down the street to to use another hotels pool, which was very unsatisfying. If I would have known the pool and hot tub were under construction we would have booked elsewhere. The food was undercooked and extremely overpriced for its quality.
The first thing I did was take a shower, which had hair from the last guest in it. After turning the shower in I realized the drain was plugged so I unplugged it, as I unplugged the drain hair and other black gunk floated into the water and onto my feet. Every time the room above us flushed their toilet, our toilet made a noise. The blow dryer didn’t work at all, not really surprised at this point.
The heater in the bedroom came on at least twice an hour and woke me up every time due to its loud buzzing noise. Eventually in the middle of the night I tried to turn the heat all the way down in order to get some sleep but it still came on several times. We stayed in room 211. the balcony was littered with cigarette butts and garbage, and as a non smoker I found this to be absolutely repulsive.
We travel quite often and love spending time in Seattle but this was the absolute worst hotel experience either of us have had to endure. We couldn’t seem to connect to the wifi either. We will definitely not be back to this hotel.

I stayed here 1÷21÷2016 and this was a great hotel, had great staff, and was in a great location. I had a great view from my room. I will definitely be staying here again.

I’ve stayed at the Warwick twice now in the last year and would probably choose to stay there again. You can’t beat the location. It’s walking distance to Pike Place, the Space Needle, the waterfront, and countless shops and restaurants. In my book, that alone makes it worth it to stay there.
On my first visit I had a room with a great view of the Space Needle and on my recent visit I had a great view of the skyline on the other side of the building. It looks like if you end up on the lower levels you might not luck out as much view-​wise, but then again, why stay in to look out when you could be out enjoying the city!
I had been a little worried upon first arriving to my room on my most recent stay as it was directly behind the elevators. I can be a light sleeper and thought it would be loud, but was pleasantly surprised to find I couldn’t hear them at all unless I was really trying to. The Executive King room I had seemed smaller/​had a different layout than the last one I stayed in but was very comfortable and I think I preferred the way this one was set up. Both the bedroom section and bathroom section had floor to ceiling glass doors to balconies and that was really nice.
I have just one minor complaint from this visit – housekeeping seemed to start extremely early on the last morning of my stay and were vacuuming outside of my room before 9am. Had I not been awake, I would’ve been woken up. It wasn’t the end of the world, but was a little irritating especially for a Saturday morning.
Overall, I’d certainly recommend staying there. They do Groupon offers from time to time, so it’s always worth a shot to check that out too.

Room was semi updated. Bathroom was old but clean. I would stay there again. Great view of the space needle, centrally located. 5 – 10 min walk to bars, restaurants and Pike Street Market and other sites

Every time we have been here over the last two years it has had some part under construction. The front staff are rude and have no costumer service experience. The bathrooms aren’t clean. I found hairs in the tub. There wasn’t even hot water for a shower in the morning! Would not recommend.

I loved this hotel! It is very close to everything. Staff is very friendly. When we arrived to the room the manger gave us complementary wine and dessert (It was my bf birthday).

Great staff and accommodations!

Had a great experience staying here for the weekend. The hotel is nice and clean. We were in the King executive room, which is a great size, comes with King size bed and a little cough with table and chair. We used the Groupon deal, so got a really good price for NYE weekend. The staff is very friendly. The only thing I didn’t like was that they slipped a car parking bill under our door on the day of checkout, after they told us car parking was included. I called front desk and they asked me to disregard, so not a big deal, but would have been nice not having to deal with that at all, especially since I had talked to front desk before parking and they confirmed it was included with the room.

I would have given no stars but its not available… I don’t k ow where to begin… Rude. Unavailable when you need someone. Dirty. Loud. Doors slam. Construction of course and they don’t tell you til you get there and your fricking stuck. You walk up with a handful of bag and bellman is text or chat with the gals at desk no one helps. You call for bell service and no one answers… Every once of this place sucked. Except the restaurant… The food is awesome. The room service is awesome .the servers all are awesome. I would never ever stay again but would make trip to eat and drink in restaurant and bar!!!

I am appalled at the service that I received at the Warwick, Seattle on 12/​04/​2015.
My wife and son were made to wait for over an hour in the lobby, just because while the booking in my name showed a party of 3, they could not establish that the lady and boy waiting in the lobby were my family. So what’s the best thing they could do? according to the front desk and duty manager — «treat them as a security threat». SECURITY THREAT? Seriously? Is that the best excuse you could come up with?
My wife carried her CA license, and my son his passport showing me as his father.
Seriously, after this incident I would not recommend this hotel to anyone; hospitality is as far from their mind as possible.
I am most dissatisfied with this incident, which has left a poor taste in my mouth.

I actually surprised that I got so much for the price:) very nice oversized room, view of space needle and even small balcony!!!
Designer toiletries with marble bath. I recommend this hotel

Spent two nights at the Warwick earlier this month. In my two nights there I really did not have any issues. The staff was friendly, but I cant help but feel like the walls were paper thin. I heard every bit of traffic going through the halls.
Still though, not disappointed. not bad, not great.

This was our first time staying here and we loved this hotel. The location is amazing if you want to be in the heart of downtown near Pike’s Place, Century Link and the Space Needle.
Our room was very clean with a gorgeous view of sky scrapers.
The staff was friendly and helpful. I called ahead to see how we could get from the airport to the hotel. The concierge gave me details to take the Link Light Rail just a few blocks from the hotel at only $ 3.
The price and location is worth it!

Very nice hotel, although really pricey. Downtown Seattle is getting insanely expensive!
The hotel was very, very clean. In fact, we woke up in the morning without the usual stuffiness and sneezing that accompanies a hotel stay. The bathroom was also incredibly clean and well-​stocked with towels and Gilchrist & Soames products (love those!). We were really only there a few hours to sleep since we came in late from a concert and had to be out by noon.
The 3-​star review is for two reasons: the concierge’s breakfast recommendation was really poor (pretty sure he just gets a kickback from that restaurant), and the parking garage leaves something to be desired. For $ 35+ tax per day, you have to park your car in a small and dirty garage. The garage was incredibly hard to navigate – good luck going down if anyone else is trying to drive up – and doesn’t have an elevator! We had to carry all our bags down a filthy staircase to street level to then enter the hotel. There is no easy way to get from garage to hotel, which is something the Warwick really needs to take into consideration should they renovate soon.

Great location! Pretty comfy. We didn’t really interact with the staff except when we checked in and out during our short stay. The guy at the reception desk was really out of it though and gave us the wrong room key and made a bunch of little blunders. But he seemed friendly enough. He also kept selling us about how our room was an executive suite with a balcony and it turned out to be just a regular sized room with a «balcony» about 1 foot in width.
I liked the beds but my friends thought they were too soft for comfort.
Shower and everything were clean. They lock the front door after I think 11 pm, so you’d have to exit and enter through the parking lot entrance.

Our group wanted to be centrally located and at a reasonable price and in the Downtown area, hotels can be a bit expensive. So with the senior and AAA rates we got a reasonable rate. They have rates and specials on their website. Like everyone has said it’s the location as it is nearby to Pike Place Market and you can walk downtown to the Monorail to the Seattle Center. If you need to buy any toiletries, etc., there’s a Bartel’s a few blocks away. The room was clean and spacious, there is a coffee maker (like a hot shot), refrigerator, closet with spa robes, slippers. The only thing was the bathroom was small but for the price and location, you don’t really spend that much time in the room. We were a group of 10 (5 couples) and 2 of the couples got rooms with views of the Space Needle and we just were lucky to even get some kind of view.
As far as the Margaux Restaurant, that is in another review and we had an enjoyable time there.
I believe the fitness room and pool is very small and you can only do the very basic of exercise. I am one to use the fitness room and was able to manage just my weight training and stretching. There is a stability ball but it needs some inflation. There are only 4 machines, elliptical, stairmaster, bicycle and treadmill as well as towels and a water cooler. The pool isn’t even big enough to do laps and there is a small jacuzzi. We got the wifi, but really wasn’t able to use it in the room or hotel on my phone. We were able to use internet on the laptop though.
The lobby area is fresh smelling and warm where our group could sit in comfort and meet there before we would go for an outing. All in all, it was a good value for the location and price

The Warwick is a no frills hotel. It’s like a time hop to the 90s and the hallways smell like a dorm. The rooms are clean enough and I appreciate the renovated bathrooms, albeit small. Overall, decent but wouldn’t return.
Pros:
* small swimming pool and jacuzzi. Mostly empty.
* small sauna.
* conveniently located near pikes place.
* mini bar to store leftovers
* decent wide screen LG tv and cable.
* good views (if you’re lucky!)
* cheap
Cons:
* Curt concierge
* SLOWWW internet (sometimes)
* minimalistic gym (1 old treadmill, sitting bike, stair master, and elliptical and a weight set and ball). A small terrible TV.
* SLOWWW elevators (sometimes)
* my room smelled like ozone (aka ionic room deodorizer. aka cancer)
* not so comfortable bed.

Amazing experience staying on the 9^th floor at the Warwick Hotel on my recent trip to Seattle.
I will return for these reasons:
1) Perfect location. It’s technically in Belltown, but right on the edge of downtown Seattle so you get a better price without sacrificing convenience. Very close to Westlake Center, which is a transportation hub with access to buses, the light rail, and even the monorail. I could walk to the Space Needle/​Seattle Center/​EMP, or take a $ 4.50 Über ride, or take the monorail from Westlake for $ 2.50. You can also hop on the #40 bus nearby and go to hip neighborhoods like Fremont and Ballard in about 25 minutes. It’s also about a block from the flagship location of the famous Top Pot Doughnuts, and walkable to Pike Place Market.
2) Safe location right across the street from the upscale Cinerama and Tom Douglas’ popular posh restaurant Dahlia Lounge.
3) Fantastic customer service. Friendly staff at the front desk and service workers. Maybe it’s Seattle hospitality, but it’s also good hotel service. At other hotels in other cities I’ve had problems where I’ve called the front desk and waited upwards of 15 – 20 minutes for help to arrive. Here, when I called for a toothbrush/​paste (and microwave, see #4) help arrived in a flash.
4) A refrigerator in my room! I expect this less and less so it was good to find it already there when I first checked in. There was no microwave so I called the front desk on my second night to ask if there was one downstairs. They said «no, but we can bring one up to your room.» Minutes later, a guy brought and set up a microwave for me in my room!
5) One of the quietest hotels I’ve been in! I did notice that around 830am I heard a lot of doors opening and closing on both mornings which was a little annoying but I should have been up by then anyway
6) Price was comparable to others in downtown, but they had a huge discount for booking an advance non-​refundable rate ($ 119/​nt plus taxes versus $ 150/​nt), which was perfect if you know you won’t have to make changes. My rate included free wi-​fi Internet.
7) Though the building looks old on the outside, it was modernized inside with a beautiful lobby and quick elevators. The gym, in the basement level, however was not upgraded and cramped, with the ceiling looking like it was in need of some repair. The hot tub was out of order when I was there.
8) Because it’s Macy’s museum month in February, the hotel also hooked me up with a Seattle Museum Month pass that I used for 50% off admission to the EMP and Chihuly museums! You could also use it at the Seattle Aquarium, Seattle Art Museum, and other places you want to go.

I was really surprised at this gem of a hotel in Seattle. Before staying here, I’d actually never heard of the hotel chain, but was told good things before I traveled by family that seemed to give me good omens.
Boy, were they right. I stayed two nights, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good my experience was (I may have lower standards due to staying with Hilton /​Marriott most of my travelling life).
Let’s first talk about some great things about this place, then segue into the less-​awesome things afterwards.
First off: That view. Ho-​ly shoot. I can’t begin to describe how much I was in awe, just standing on the (tiny) balcony and looking out in the Seattle skyline. My room wasn’t in view of the Space Needle, but I was still able to see quite a decent amount of skyline — hopefully I’ll be able to upload those photos to be included in my review.
Next up: Internet access. Free (finally), decently fast, and reliable. The code you get works for five devices, which is perfect, since I brought with me a laptop, iPad, smartphone, and iPod touch.
Thirdly: Service! It was great for the concierge desk to tell me a lot of things about the hotel and about the area around the hotel. Definitely a +1.
Lastly: The standard single-​room size is pretty generous! I had a queen bed and a couch that could turn into a pull-​out bed, with the linen in the closet. I had a mini-​fridge, which was nicer than having to store all of my water in ice buckets all night. The TV was nice and large, and there was an iPod dock (with iPhone 4-​esque cabling; no lightning yet!!!) beside the bed, which thankfully had a USB charge-​port on it, as well as an Auxiliary to plug into my iPod Touch 5^th Gen to plan music with.
I think the only things that stuck me were the lack of straightforwardness of the lighting. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out where all the light switches and knobs were, since it wasn’t necessarily obvious (one of the lamps I had to rotate this knob in an obscure area underneath the lamp that I only figured out when I wanted to take it apart to figure it out). That, and the remote didn’t work for the television my first night’s stay, but since it was quickly remedied the next day, I’m not too bitter about it.
The other thing that kinda made me sad was the fitness center. The pool wasn’t big, but since I didn’t bring my swimming trunks, I didn’t get a chance to test the waters — but since I could see it from the fitness center, my only comments are that both the fitness center and the pool were tiny relative to other hotels in the area and in my experience. The fitness center only had a treadmill, stairmaster, elliptical, sitting lateral bike, a bench and a weight rack with dumbbells (no barbells or free weights). There weren’t enough mats for me to do pushups or planks on, and since I wasn’t a fan of the cleanliness of the carpet, my workout became restricted to cardio-​only when I was staying here.
Last gripe (this time about the room) was the tininess of the bathroom. I couldn’t open the bathroom door and sit down on the toilet at the same time — that’s how small the bathroom was. The door couldn’t fully open since it would hit the bathtub/​shower after opening 100 degrees. While the bathroom itself was quaint and new, the size of it is definitely something that could have been better thought out.
I’ll make a separate review for the attached restaurant to the hotel, but that TL;DR is basically «overpriced, no beer selection, happy hour not worth it, coupons don’t work for breakfast which sucks because who sticks around for lunch or dinner in SEATTLE», just as a heads up.
Overall Hotel TL;DR: Gem in the rough, great area, great view, stay here if you’re in town; it’s pretty central to Belltown, and you’re close to pretty much everything in the downtown core. #worth!

This place gets a star for location and a star for the view (if you get the correct room) of the space needle.
Location:
It doesn’t get much better than this as far as location goes. You are within a 15 min walk of everything you want to do in Seattle, which includes the space needle, pikes market and TONS of restaurants.
View:
You have to get the luxury something or other room to be able to get a view of the space needle. Our view was fantastic.
Service:
I’ve stayed in MANY hotels and I can say this hotel had staff that didn’t seem to care AT ALL about our stay. Maybe we just had the bad luck of interacting with the only 3 melancholy employees they have but, we were very disappointed. Upon check in, we greeted by an emotionless drone. «Name, ID, credit card» «here is your room number, goodbye» I first just thought, maybe he is having a bad day and our experience with staff will be better, I was wrong.
The next night I went down to the front desk to inquire about a couple of forks so my wife and I could enjoy some cheese cake that we bought. The front desk woman looked at me annoyingly and said, «why would we have forks at the front desk». I was just looking for some help. I definitely wasn’t looking for attitude, but that’s all I got. She literally gave me no help at all, not even a suggestion on where around their I might be able to purchase a fork. Maybe she was having a bad day too.
We stayed for four nights and had a room cleaned a total of 1 time. I really didn’t care after we got back to the room the second day we were there (we got back at 7pm). I called down to the front desk and let them know it didn’t get cleaned and it wasn’t a big deal but we would need some new towels. He didn’t apologize for the fact our room wasn’t cleaned he just said «ok» and hung up. The third day of not being cleaned I called down and finally complained about it not being cleaned again, the guy just said «OK, we’ll send someone up», no apologies or empathy. To there credit they did actually come up and clean within 20 mins of my complaint.
I’ve stayed in many 5 star hotels and I’ve stayed in motels. This was by far the worst customer service that I have received from multiple employees. I’ll get a bad apple here and there at a hotel, but never a bushel of bad apples. The three bad experiences came from three separate employees.
I hope this review reaches the right person. I’m sure they are great people, maybe they hate their jobs or maybe they need a reminder on how to treat customers. I won’t be staying here and I will be recommending all my traveling friends not to stay here either.
