Title: Mayfair Park Hotel is Outstanding

The Mayfair Park Hotel completely surpassed our expectations. When we made our reservations we explained that we had never visited Seattle, that my husband is in ill health with mobility restrictions. We requested a Deluxe room, with a sitting area, which at that time was not available. Imagine our pleasant surprise when we arrived on June 1 to find we had been upgraded to a beautiful corner suite with separate bedroom. The hotel is elegant with the best trained, pleasant staff we've ever encountered. The hotel is perfectly situated right next to the Westlake Mall and the monorail to the Space Needle. We had planned to stay 3 days but my husband's health problems made it necessary to cancel the last night. The hotel was gracious and understanding, allowing us late check out. We would recommend the Mayfair Park Hotel to anyone looking for a truly magnificent experience in Seattle.

Terrible service
by A TripAdvisor Member
I flew to Seattle from Reno to see Audioslave perform and stayed at The Mayflower Park Hotel for 5 nights.
My first problem was with room service. They almost never pick up the phone and I always ended up calling the front desk to place my orders. I tried ordering coffee once, at 3 pm Friday and was told I have to wait until 4pm because the person there didn't know how to make coffee. That was a pretty strong statement, so I decided to go to the bar and have a drink and see how service is in there. Big mistake! Not only were the employees rude, but the Bloody Mary I ordered was filled to the rim with ice, which I hate. I asked for a glass to get rid of some of the ice and the bartender actually got mad at me!
The alltime worst incident came when I gave a maid $20 to clean my room, which I think is a lot of money for 10 minutes work and she told management I smoked in a non-smoking room, which resulted in a $120 fine, because she'd seen my cigarettes on the table.
Fortunately Audioslave was incredible and my trip was far from ruined but The Mayflower Park Hotel just isn't a good value.
Great Central Location

This hotel is ideally located 4 blocks from Pike's Market and right at the beginning of the monorail line leading to the Space Needle. Also, there is a direct covered access to the mall surrounding the monorail station.
The bar of the hotel offers a great view of the street of Seattle, and fine cocktails.
The room was on the small side and did not have a safe even though it is offered at the reception for free.
The complimentary wireless internet access was a great help to do some research while in town.
A note: We do not know why but there was always a distinct scent of pizza in the hallways and the lobby area....... maybe from the adjoining mall and food court???????
Nice place, great location

Very roomy and quiet rooms. Nice service and extras. Close to everything... shopping, food, sight-seeing, the fish market is great. Beware non-smokers: the bar can get smoky at certain times, as well as most restaurants in the city. Call before showing up. This place is recommended.
Can't Beat the Location, But Not Posh

Yes, a great location for shopping-one can keep an eye on the stores from one's window! Easy walking to entertainment, Pike Market, restaurants. Helpful staff. Nice bedding.
But, no doorman, no bell boy, two small elevators that fill quickly, and turndown service at an earlybird hour of 6pm.
Because we were using gift certificates, the hotel would only give us a room at full rack rate ($125 more than what we could've gotten at the hotel's own website)-definitely not worth full rack rate.

Hotels near Pike Street
by catpause
Does anyone have a suggestion for a hotel in Seattle, Washington. My wife and I will be spending a couple of days visiting the city before leaving on an Alaskan cruise. There will also be several other families that will need the same. We will arrive around the 6th of July, 2006 and depart the 8th. Moderate price and walking distance/public transportation are a must. All help is welcome.
Thanks,
Randy

Hi
Try the Best Western at Pioneer Square. Pike is not that far away. The location is very good, in the heart of old town. Lots of nice shops, and conveniet transportation. Very good quality/price. Check the Best Western site.

In Juneau, Alaska, try a seaplane trip over Glacier Bay. It´s two fantastic hours!

Whatever you do spend a couple of extra dollars and stay closer to Pike and the harbor. You will save money on public transport as you can walk nearly everywhere. Unfortunately you are arriving in July which is very high season for Seattle due to the excellent weather. I don't foresee you finding a very good deal at moderate price in this area. Just thought I'd warn you.
If you can, try to stay at Inn at the Market which is on the hill over looking the harbor and the Pike's Market sign. Just a lovely hotel with excellent service. I can't say what their rates are but if you have a family in a room (3-4 people) it might be within reason if you get a room on the city side (no harbor view from the room, but they have a public rooftop patio for all guests - gorgeous!). Best hotel for the money in Seattle in my opinion.
Good luck!

As Lorraine says, July is high season. In fact, doing a search on Expedia shows that some hotels are already sold out. Inn at the Market is a good recommendation. I stayed at the Mayflower Park hotel, although it was 8 years ago, but it was quite nice, and is a little less expensive than some of the other options in the area. You're looking at about $200 night for that area at that time of year.

If you are interested, contact me. I work for a company that finds group rates for groups of 10 or more sleeping rooms. If you e-mail me, I will work to find rates in Seattle for less than $159.00 per night. nancy_fisher@conferencedirect.com. Let me know if you are interested. How many rooms would your group need? I can e-mail you a spreadsheet of options.
