I always look forward to staying at this hotel in Seattle (and the chowder with smoked salmon is out of this world!!!)

I can't quite put my finger on the ambience -- but suffice to say that the hotel 'feels' great - great staff - -redone bar -- nice fireplace lounge off the bar where you can sit and read or log-on to your laptop ...

I loved this hotel. It was located in the right spot. It's about 5 blocks from the shopping district and monorail and about 8 blocks from the waterfront. Keep in mind this hotel is located on top of STEEP hills and once you walk down you have to find your way up! The check-in was fine, and once I got into my room I felt completely comfortable. ...

The old Madison Hotel, now a Marriott Renaissance, has been renovated (as of 2009 April) except for the lobby area, due for completion April. I had a "corner suite", 23rd floor. Everything was clean and comfortable. The rooms are small even for a Marriott, but, it is the middle of a city. Good towels and other room amenities. Shop ...

Ok, the location is great, that's it.
They advertise internet access in every room, and then in the small print it costs $12 a day!
At these prices in this day and age it should be included!

The bed was hard as a slab of concrete; I actually checked to see if there was a matress or if we were sleeping on box springs only. I tossed & turned all night and had a horrible sleep deprived stay. No extra pillows; nothing. To say that this hotel is 3 star is completely laughable.

The only good thing is its location; close to ...

Clean and comfortable...had a nice city view as well as Elliot Bay and Lake Union in the distance. Service was great. It is a few blocks from main shopping areas but worth the walk if you catch a nice day. Would stay there again.

It was simply amazing.
Great food/service.
If you ever get around to doing something of the sort share it with Renaissance Seattle hotel.
The rooms were warm and Cozy, clean and neat.
It just made the Romance even better.

- Excellent turn-down service, chocolates on the night table each night
- Hot coco or coffee with paper in the mornings
- Good work area
- Worn plumbing fixtures in bathroom (needs remodeling)
- Mini-bar has been removed from original modeling, ugly blank in its place
- Daily charge for Internet, but includes US calling too
- Internet down 50% of 4 night stay, sluggish when working

This is a wonderful hotel 5 star perfect thats all! It had great rooms, nice cooperative staff. Its a super ood hotel to sstay in Seattle.
