The hotel is well-located within walking distance of Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square, Capitol Hill, and transport links to the Space Needle and MoPOP. It occupies an older building that has been modernized while maintaining an aesthetic theme that honors its historical roots. Our room was comfortable and clean, albeit on the smaller side and somewhat cramped. I suspect I'm not the only guest who has inadvertently bumped their shin on the strangely oversized wooden bed frame. Overall, the stay was a positive experience, but I'll be seeking accommodation with more spacious rooms for my next visit to Seattle.

Thank you for taking the time to share this review! It looks like you booked our deluxe queen room which is one of our smaller room types. Hotel Theodore does have multiple different room types so I may suggest our premium king room or even the superior room for a more comfortable stay. We hope you will give us another shot next time you are in Seattle.

Stayed during off season so was quiet given I had no neighbors and outside was tame, though the windows bleed could be a problem if busy outside. I was surprised I could hear the link rail from underground through the bldg 9 floors up. I appreciate the larger reception area, restaurant was good, location was excellent given my interests.

A quaint boutique hotel. Friendly staff and decent amenities…even though the gym was small they had a full set of free weights and training bench as well as treadmills and elliptical as well as the mirror work out system. The restaurant attached to the hotel is very good - great food and drinks and has a late night menu as well. Also, the hotel as a breakfast coffee shop that opens very early so it’s easy to get a bite even at 6am. The hotel is located very near the light rail so easy to get to from airport as well as easy access to tons of shopping and sites such as a market and space needle.

When did it become acceptable to charge a report fee to stay in a good but relatively basic downtown hotel? Ridiculous, especially when the hotel is no better than the surrounding hotels with similar facilities.
Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024
Response from kayleigh on 12 Mar 2024
Hello, most if not all of the surrounding hotels will include a destination fee. This covers for the complimentary wifi, in room coffees, use of bikes, the fitness center etc. Other than the fee, we do hope you enjoyed your stay and will consider staying with us again! Thank you.

Centrally located in a busy commercial & shops district. Only valet parking available for $55/day; however public parking lot adjacent to the hotel offered cheaper daily rate. There was a destination fees $22/day that will apply at checkout. Room amenities include coffee & teas. Ice will be provided upon request. Small gym was available on the 2nd floor. Male staffs were friendly at check-in; female staffs were curt & borderline rude when contacted via telephone regarding room upgrade.
