Renaissance Seattle Hotel

Renaissance Seattle Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was clean but it has some issues. For example the shower head was falling out of the wall and the floors were wet when we checked into our room. We were also told we were only aloud one water bottle a day which seemed crazy. But overall it was clean and safe and has water and food for purchase."

10/10 Excellent
"We will definitely be returning to this property. From the ease of parking and walkability to the dog park across the street and the indoor plaza, this property was convenient and inviting. Our room was super comfortable, bright and light with a good desk for working (although who would want to work when you have so many sights, activities, and good restaurants nearby."
