Moore hotel good value for Canadians!
by TripAdvisor Member cyclemans
Visited Seattle first time in August- to bicycle with cascade bike club up to Vancouver ( 180km).
The Moore hotel was clean and allowed my bicycle into the room- it was only 2 blocks from the Pike market which had all kinds of healthly foods. It is older but well kept, the fan they lend you helped with the road noise and heat. It is well priced for canadians who are spending candadian dollars. The young fellow at front desk was a pleasure to talk with.
I will be doing this ride each summer and staying at this motel.
It was an adventure cycling from the airport to downtown- midday is the ony time to attemtp this.
thanks again Moore hotel!!

I am faithful to the Moore!

I am an East Coaster and an avid world traveler who visits Seattle once a year to see family. Every trip, I make a point to stay downtown a few nights and enjoy the city. This is my preference for lodging...I am faithful to the Moore Hotel! The price and location are phenomenal and I've come to love the quaint, personal style and service, not to mention the view from the upper floors! It is wonderful. I highly suggest it!
Great Location

If you don't mind budget hotels and pretty thin towels, you will LOVE The Moore Hotel. It is very clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and it is within an easy walk to the market, and all other downtown locations. Parking is kind of a problem, but I think we could have done better if we had been smart enough to ask. We ended up feeding a meter several times a day and the cost to us for a 24-hour period was around $20-$24. As we were leaving I overheard the people at the front desk sending some guests to a parking lot that only charges $12 for 24 hours. We will definitely book our next stay at The Moore Hotel. You just can't beat the price and the beds are great!
Much better than we expected

We stayed in August 2004 and after reading some of these reviews we approached the hotel with some trepedation. What we found was great. We had room 605 which turned out to be a comfortable sitting room (with kitchenette), a large bedroom and bathroom. It was quiet, light, airy and spacious. The location was perfect for walking to all the attractions and the many restaurants close by. After traveling thru the States for a month, this was the best value for money accomodation we had anywhere.
GREAT DEAL!!!!!

A great character hotel. It felt very urban yet friendly.
It was clean and quiet. I loved the old wooden doors and staircases and the view from my room was fantastic. I would without a doubt stay there again. So, if you want a cheap hotel, but more importantly, an interesting stay, then it's a great place.
Great Price & Location but a little noisy!

I chose the Moore due to both the price and location and was not disappointed by either. Location was a big plus; you are within a couple blocks of all the "touristy" things in Seattle, including the Pike Market, waterfront, downtown shopping centers. etc. Staff was very friendly, answered questions freely. Airport Shuttle from Sea-Tac was $21.25 each way. Price was WAY below other hotels in the area. There are a lot of restaurants in the area; but watch out as most of them close at 6:00PM!
This is an older hotel with the kind of problems you would expect. Noise was the biggest problem even though the clerk said I had one of the quietest rooms. As far as I could tell, my room was right across the hall from the shared bathroom for the "hostel" type rooms. All night long - doors slamming, people talking, etc. The walls were so thin I could hear people in the next room sneeze. Because they have no air conditioning, I had to have the window open and that created a whole new set of problems; birds, sirens, trash trucks from the alley, etc.
The room was kinda' cute! It had a table with two chairs and the carpet looked fairly new. The bathroom had an old clawfoot bathtub and the bed was comfortable. The room was very clean. However lighting was bad; I found it hard to read at night with the small lamp next to the bed.
Overall, I would say the hotel is pretty much what I expected and would recommend it, especially for a base for sightseeing in downtown Seattle. If you are comfortable at a "Motel 6" type place - this will work for you!

Moore Hotel reservations, water surcharge???
by LadyGallica
I found good reviews for the Moore Hotel, but I can't find this hotel featured on hotels.com, Expedia, or cheaptickets.com. So I visited their website and they state a water surcharge may be added because of a drought. A drought in Seattle??? I heard it rains for months. Can I only book direct? And what's up with the water surcharge? I can't find any info on the net to validate their claim. I just want to make sure I'm not paying an extra water charge for leaky plumbing.

Last week, the city of Seattle lifted its summer drought water restriction because the Cedar River reservoir level is back up to normal. The hotel shouldn't be charging a water surcharge. If they do, ask the hotel "why?".
The weather forecast for the next seven days is clear, sunny, and in the 80's.
