Thompson Seattle

I try to find the good in almost everything, and believe me, I tried at the Thompson. I'm not high maintenance, I just need a bed and someplace to eat while on business travel. It appears the hotel has no staff. They start serving breakfast at 7:30am, which if heading to a morning meeting, is entirely too late. Although their restaurant was only one quarter full, they turned me away for dinner, saying they had no staff to accommodate me. Thank goodness for the minibar. On the positive side, their housekeeping staff are amazing and the rooms are clean.

Comfortable, well appointed room. Hotel was in a great location easy walking distance to the market and waterfront. Parking was a pain, but that is to be expected in this area. Valet attendance were very helpful and friendly. Too bad there is no coffee in the rooms, but at least there’s a café downstairs.

Rooms are very small; you can hear the doors slam at all hours of the night and day. Did not care for the smell of the lobby, told one price and charged a higher price. Valet only parking, which is not listed on the website. The only good thing about it is the location!

This place soils The Thompson brand. I would never come back to this hotel. For the price, there are substantially better option in Seattle. The rooms are small, cramped and uncomfortable. I was "upgraded" to a city view, and I look directly at the side of a building. There is a constant running water sound that is VERY audible through the walls. When I called the front desk to alert them of this, they said that "it's a feature of the hotel and heard in most rooms." I know Seattle and water are synonmous but to tell me that hearing someone shower is a feature of the hotel is absurd and a lazy lie. When I asked to change rooms, they said the hotel was fully committed. I sat in the lobby for over an hour and saw NO ONE. Is the hotel fully committed with ghosts? No that can't be as ghosts don't shower this frequently. I write this review only 4 hours into my stay. I will post part 2 after what I hope is a less aquatic nights sleep.

Awesome place to stay when in Seattle! We came here with our kids and had stayed in Leavenworth for the few days prior to driving into the city. When we got to Thompson, the valet was helpful and helped us with our bags. Staff was great, location is ideal and rooms were spacious and clean. Everything is modern and chic including their in-room amenities. We loved our stay here and would stay here again.
