The Westin Seattle

Pros: Efficient and smoothly running hotel, good downtown location
Cons: Vaguely sterile, large, convention hotel, they imploded their history

I cannot look at the soaring twin towers of the Westin Seattle without thinking of the 1960's television cartoon The Jetsons. The place just reminds me of Spaceley Space Sprockets' office building.

A Brief History...

Pros: Good location and restaurants on site.
Cons: Valet service, no spa and creaking noises.

Looking to relax in the downtown Seattle area, my wife and I started to search through Expedia.com for a nice hotel. We didn't want to stay at some dirt cheap place, so we didn't mind spending a few bucks for a nice hotel room. And thus we can ...

Pros: Beautiful views throughout the hotel, comfortable bed and great shower!
Cons: Expensive rooms, parking and internet and crowded with conference goers throughout the year.

I've stayed at The Westin in Seattle on a few occasions.  It was actually the hotel I stayed at on my first visit to Seattle.  I was in town to participate in a college fair and it was the host hotel for the event.  To receive the ...

Pros: Decent customer service; High quality room; Great location
Cons: The view is variable; Price

The plan was to bring my wife and two daughters to the Seattle area. I wanted them to see the Pacific Northwest both as a vacation, and as a possible prelude to moving there. I love downtown Seattle and was pretty sure they would as well. What better way ...

Pros: Great beds - look wonderful and feel even better! Excellent hotel
Cons: none

I have. It not only looked heavenly – plush, white satin comforter with loads of decorative pillows, but it felt heavenly, as well. It was like sleeping on a large, fluffy cloud. The mattress provided strong, even support. No saggy middle or...

Pros: Breath taking view from your guest room!
Cons: Small rooms and only a lobby bar.

On my first trip to Seattle, due to corporate commitments, I had no choice of hotels. It was the Westin. To me, the room is a place to stay, short term. All I would like is a bit of room, a double bed room, with the option to smoke. I would like to...

Pros: Great bed. Wonderful concierge. Great location.
Cons: Poor housekeeping. Restaurant not recommended. Lousy view.

My husband and I recently spent four nights at the Seattle Westin Hotel. We chose to stay at the Westin because my husband was attending a conference there and we got a great rate of $127 per night. The website has excellent directions for driving ...

Pros: Heavenly comfort, great location
Cons: Only Valet Parking, Customer service

I just returned from an unbelievable stay at the Westin in Seattle. My husband was attending a convention there, and I tagged along. I couldn't wait to get to my room and experience the famous "Heavenly Bed."

As we had been given...

Pros: Spectacular views from many rooms, good location
Cons: A bit bland; the bar in the lobby makes check-in smoky and noisy

Your experience here will vary drastically depending on your room. Some of the tower rooms with Sound view are just spectacular; the view is the best in the city. However, the lower-floor rooms and the rooms with windows facing the other tower can be ...

Pros: The beds, the late night and early morning tower views.
Cons: lobby, bar, local places to eat, parking fees, weather

Was my first time staying at a Westin. Lobby is small and not layed out right, restaurant was closed for renovations. Was assigned a low floor room and could hear the traffic. Went back to desk and requested higher floor, was put on floor 21 directly ...

Pros: Good location. Great views....IF you get a puget sound view room.
Cons: dated rooms, slow service, and several surly employeess at the front desk.

If you're looking for a newer luxury property, you're better off at the Hyatt or the W. This hotel was built in the 60's, has been remodeled but is still tired. The lobby is wonderful, but there's not too much you can do to rooms in circular towers, ...

Pros: Awesome views of the Sound, the Bay, the City. Great downtown location
Cons: Inconsistent information from staff. Smokey rooms. Smokers all over Seattle.

Stayed at the Westin Seattle from October 4 to October 10. Vivian, lady who checked us in, tried very hard to get us a room we wanted. I wanted a room in the North Tower on the 30th or higher floor that faces northwest. North Tower has over 40 floors ...

Pros: The heavenly bed is truly heavenly.
Cons: $1.50 charge for local calls. $2.00 for 1-800 calls

I stayed at the Westin in Seattle June 29 through July 3, 2003. First, we had to get from the a ...

Pros: Location, staff, clean/comfortable room, view
Cons: Can't think of any.

We took a chance with hotwire.com, trying to find a "nice" hotel in Seattle at a reasonable price. We went with a 4 star rating and after booking it, discovered it was the Westin Seattle, their so-called flagship hotel in downtown Seattle. We could ...

Pros: Location; great for children!
Cons: Pool is too cold in the winter!

My 6 and 8 year old children were greeted with fun packs which included a pack of cards (but needed crayons!). The rooms were okay; beds weren't all that heavenly but better than standard hotel beds. One of the best features was the special story line...
