We Made It !!!

Well.....after a late start due to Dad's need to watch some British Open golf....we headed out for Seattle. Derek's plan was to stop for lunch somewhere in Oregon or Washington, so with that narrowed list of possible lunch places, we ended up on Centralia, WA. Derek had to choice between Arby's and Country Cousins.....and Country Cousins won out. Very good. After checking in, Derek allowed Mom to fit some shopping into his busy schedule, so we visited Nordstroms, Macy's and various other stor...

Zoo & Ball Game

The first full day of the trip had us off to Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo. We got there early and with the overcast skies, the animals were very active. Highlights were the Grizzly Bears and Wolfs. After a good 5 hours at the zoo we headed back to the motel for a quick nap. We decided to walk to the ball park since it was only 1.5 miles and all downhill The concern was the trip back, but we were going to cross that bridge after the game. The game.....well it was a game of highlights. First of ...

We don't need no stinking directions

Note to self: buy city maps in addition to state maps. We got into the city easy enough, but downtown Seattle isn't exactly easy to navigate. Only the avenues are numbered: the streets are instead named (pet peeve #1 of city navigation), and the roads are so narrow I'd lose my mirrors if my truck were any lower. But after wandering around ignoring the GPS, which didn't even place us on the right side of the interstate, we found ourselves being approached by a valet. Figuring he had a better ...

But for some reason I didn't buy the t-shirt

What to say? The expo was pretty cool. I picked up a few music CDs from the likes of Freezepop, The OneUps, and the Minibosses, as well as various game demos that don't run on my Mac. For that matter I took home a decent bag of free posters, keychains, stickers, and various other things I don't really need so I gave to Zac to give to his little cousin. Aside from all the game companies showing off and explaining their new stuff were a few independent developers trying to get into the industr...

Seattle

I was woken outrageously early this morning by my roommate, who inexplicably had arranged a meeting at 6:30am. After she left I drew back the curtains to let the sunshine in and then went back to snooze for a while. Well, seriously, that was the only option at that time of the morning! I got up properly at around 9am and went and had a shower and got ready to start my day. The first thing I decided to do was to head over to the convention center and pick up my badge and conference kit. The co...

Seattle

One again my roommate had an alarm call at an early hour, thus waking me up before I was really ready to be woken. I ended up putting on the radio and just chilling to some music for a couple of hours whilst deciding what to do with myself. I left the room at around 10:30am and headed down to Pike Place Market. The market is huge, on multiple floors and sells all manner of everything. A lot of people were congregating around the fresh fish stalls, no doubt looking for something good for dinne...

Seattle at last

The flight departed on time and I was sat next to a group of young boys. Fortunately they were quite well-behaved and slept most of the journey. I watched 'The Spiderwick Chronicles' - kind of a kid's fantasy but it was quite good. Lunch came round then (one of those pizza roll-type things). The view on this flight was amazing, especially over the mountains in Montana and then Washington. I was aware Mt Rainier was a big mountain but I wasn't prepared for quite how big it actually was when we...

My Arrival

I'd never been to Seattle before, but having come of age as the grunge scene rose to national prominence, it had always been on my list of cities to visit. My flight arrived as the sun was setting and it made for a breathtaking arrival; the setting sun illuminated the sky in shades of pink, the backdrop for Mt. Rainier. And trees! Green, green trees.

Sadly, no pictures, as I was seated on the aisle.

Historical Traveler Reviews of Crowne Plaza Hotel Seattle-Downtown Area, Wa

Comfortable Stay for Our Family of 4

from A TripAdvisor Member
We booked the hotel via Hotwire for a 3 night stay. We had a king size room which was very comfortable for my husband, our 4 and 2 years old and me. The bathroom was clean. The room was spacious enough for the kids to play with their travel toys and had snacks; and room to park our double stroller without feeling cramped. Room had a view of the city. The kids enjoyed seeing tall buildings. Room was next to the elevator but very quiet. Staff was very friendly.

Great central location. We could walk to Pike Place, Harborfront and metro from the hotel easily. We had to pay valet parking which was expected in Seattle.

Comment: We were only given 1 shampoo bottle and 2 bars of soap for our entire 3 nights stay. The soap actually were sufficient; however, we had to call for additional shampoo bottle but it never arrived. I just used the baby shampoo for our kids in the end.

Will probably stay there again due to location and price.

Great Experience

from kla57
We stayed at the Crowne Plaza going to and returning from Vancouver. We wanted something on the airport shuttle route at a decent price. Upon arrival, we were told that we had been upgraded. Our room was on the 33rd floor with wonderful views of the city!! The sunset was gorgeous! The room was fantastic--comfortable beds with thick duvets, nice bathroom (although a bit small). Because of the upgrade we were able to have a free continental breakfast (with fresh fruit, pumpkin bread, etc) and hors d'oeuvres in the afternoon (pizza, small quiche, fruits, vegetables, dips). We also received coupons for appetizers in the restaurant. These were excellent. When we checked out after the first night, we mentioned how much we enjoyed the room. The lady helping us reserved the same room for our return visit. This isn't the closest hotel to the waterfront or to the Space Needle but the sites are definitely within walking distance. We highly recommend the Crowne Plaza.

Spacious, Clean room, good location

from 24hourtriptraveler
Used Hotwire to book and got this hotel. Did not have a car and walked from here to Space Needle, Pikes Place Market and Safeco field. Good location. Room & bathroom were spacious & clean. Stayed June 3-5, 2004. Was very crowded on the weekend. Had a room next to the elevator, but no noise. We would stay here again.

Disapointed !

from A TripAdvisor Member
June 5th stay. Booked 3 rooms in Jan, using my PRORITY CLUB MEMBERSHIP. What a joke !. I confirmed what we (3 couples) wanted 1 day after booking. Check-in was not orginized, had no rooms for us (hotel sold out apparently). finally 1 couple was assigned a room on the 29 th floor. Us & couple 2 sat in the lobby waiting. 2 hours later the night manager tryed assigning rooms. We were stuck with 1 on the 8th fllor and 1 on the 9th. NOT what I requested 6 months prior...I have notified mangement, filled out my opinion survey will see how important we are to them as customers. With scissors and my Prority Club Mebership card beside me, the temptation is there to sever all ties with this Wanna-Be hotel.........NO Recommedation

Run-of-the-Mill

from A TripAdvisor Member
My husband and I just got back from our extended weekend trip to Seattle, where we stayed at the Crowne Plaza. I would like to let others know that this hotel is just your "run-of-the-mill" hotel. The lobby is extremely small! During our stay they hosted several conferences and we could barely fit through the lobby because of all the people! The hallways are dark and the elevators are slow. The best thing I can say about the Crowne is that they have an excellent staff. We arrived early and they were very accomodating while we waited to check in. If you want to have a hotel "experience" don't choose this Crowne. If you just want a place to lay your head at night, this is the place for you :-)

Excellent Restaurant

from A TripAdvisor Member
The hotel is located on the edge of downtown, yet certainly not out of the way. I stayed on a Priority Club floor and found the rooms to be nicely appointed and very comfortable. Most impressive of all though were the two meals I had at the hotel's City View restaurant (breakfast and dinner). They were absolutely fantastic.

A Pleasant Surprise

from glbtrttr
I must preface this by saying that we might have gotten lucky on our stay. We were returning from a 5-day trip to Vancouver Island, arrived tired and cold into Seattle for a short night's stay before heading to the airport at 6am the next morning. However, after too many hotels with nice-looking lobbies whose rooms look like they're out of grandpa's fishing cabin, this was a pleasant surprise. We were given a near-top floor room with views of the Space Needle (not a huge deal, we've been to Seattle before). The room wasn't huge, but adequate, and all of the "little things" (TV remote, heating unit, shower pressure) worked as they should. There was even the nice little touch of a Sony Dreammachine CD player/alarm clock - which only took 2 minutes to learn how to operate thanks to an instruction card by the bed. Room service was prompt - food was so-so, but as expected for a 3-star. High-speed net access for $9.95 in the room. Lower level non-water facing rooms could get loud as hotel is right off the interstate ramp. Would defintely stay again for either business or leisure.

Nothing special but okay for the price

from Jon_Bennet
Moved here after staying at the Sheraton Seattle, which was much nicer.

The Crowne Plaza is somewhat dark and dank, with motelish rooms. It's a hotel that's TRYING to be nice, but just can't get there. Overall, I got a good night's sleep but probably wouldn't return unless the price was great.

Great Place for Business Travelers

from A TripAdvisor Member
I stayed at the Crowne Plaza while attending a convention in Seattle and thought it was a great place to stay for business travel. I arrived early before the posted check-in time and when the staff couldn't get me into a room for a couple of hours, they immediately gave me a free upgrade to a "Club Level" room (I never mentioned an upgrade). The spacious and very clean room had a great view of the bay and the Space Needle. The king-sized bed was extremely comfortable. Room amenities included a CD player and high-speed Internet access. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. I like walking, so I didn't mind the fact that the hotel is a few blocks away from the Convention Center and Pike Place Market. It's still a very safe and convenient location.

All right, OK

from myopicfriend
Just your run-of-the-mill experience. Not bad, not wonderful either. Good for business travel. Had high speed internet. Rooms had that surface-renovated look but tub was cracked and had stains. There was chipped plaster on the ceiling, and the lobby is strictly 80s. Room service food looked very Sysco -- I had to go down the street to the W to find some fresh food. This would be good for a convention attendee, but I wouldn't recommend it to the leisure traveler -- even with the downtown location, it's surprisingly far to walk to restaurants and bars, and the area it's in seems to clear out after 6pm in terms of nightlife (you're surrounded by banks and office buildings). The bed was comfortable. In all, very average.
