Hyatt Regency Seattle
The property is great in terms of location and convenient. Rooms are clean and good size . The water bottles are good for coffee making but 2/person would be better. Parking is convenient even it is not cheap. Will stay again.

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG
The check in was seamless and the room was a nice surprise. Very spacious! And the beds and pillows made for a great sleep. The hotel is at the top of the hill on 6th Ave. and I really thought we would hear more traffic noise but I had no problem sleeping.
