9.2/10 Wonderful! (2,686 reviews)

The Mayflower Park Hotel was a bit of a disappointment. We had thought it was going to be 'old-world historic elegance' as a boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Seattle. Instead it was just an old hotel. There were two elevators, and one was out of order. For a completely full hotel, that is unacceptable. The non-working elevator had been out for weeks. The WiFi was sketchy and kept dropping so don't plan on doing any work in the hotel. We had to pay $55 a night to have our car parked and valet service. The reception staff were friendly. Overall it's a 3.5 star experience. It's best feature is the location if you want to walk places and be close to Pike's Place Market. We stayed three nights and the price was exorbitant.
