Hotel Max

I absolutely love this hotel. The location is the best feature since I was able to easily walk to pikes market and Capitol hill. The room was extremely clean and quiet and the view from the window was pretty sweet. The craft beer happy hour in the lobby was like hanging out a cozy bar. I will definitely stay here again.

So my feelings on this hotel are very mixed. The room was mediocre, for the price I expected a bit cleaner and less problematic. The electrical was all old, I was constantly bumping the ceiling light (I'm 5'11") and the window unit air conditioner was loud. The hallway and building had the smell of an old smoking building even though I never saw anyone actually smoking in the hotel. The bathroom was the worst part. Absolutely no counter space,and the shower stall was only about 2'x2'. It was not relaxing at all having to pirouette in order to wash my lower half and I was constantly bumping a wall or partially out of the shower. The towels and washcloths felt as rough as sandpaper. The hotel has wifi, but it was unusable in my room constantly disconnecting. So normally I would leave a 1-2 star review and call it quits. But, the staff was incredible! The front desk gave us some great recommendations on where to eat, the doorman was vigilant and extraordinarily helpful and friendly as we were coming and going. And when they were able to do something to help the staff went above and beyond to assist us. Finally the location was fantastic, very close to pikes fish market, the convention centers, and tons of great food options and public transit options. The location alone almost made all the frustrations with the room worth it.

I booked here via a conference website. As an an aged geek, I was definitely not part of the hipster demographic seen on the hotel's website. But I really enjoyed my stay. The decor is decidedly not generic hotel bland and the morning coffee and afternoon beer are nice touches. I had a basic room but the bed was fine, there was enough storage and--important for work travel--there was a real desk, with enough power points and USB sockets. The staff were friendly and helpful. I'd be happy return if I get back to Seattle.

Not very clean. But the staff were helpful and polite. Nice for a quick trip. Not a long stay. Liked the theme. Also the walls are like paper you hear everything!! So not great for families more for like solo travelers. But is very close to nightlife, main attractions! About 30 min from airport.

The Max Hotel is very conveniently located in downtown Seattle almost all the interesting places to see are within walking distance. A bonus for pet owners is that dogs are welcome at the hotel. Our room was spacious with a large en suite, clean, and comfortable.

Positive: We were two young girls staying at the Hotel Max and we felt super safe. Most of the time there was someone standing in front of the door and you could only go up the elevator with your key card. Staff was friendly and the room had everything we needed. Negative: There was no parking and breakfast Negative: ""

The old air conditioning unit is like 10 cm from the bed, super noisy every time it starts it woke me up, it was either not sleeping because of the cold or the noise. There is no daily room service to change sheets or towels, you need to ask for it specifically... first time I see this in a hotel... the location is good but I will certainly not get there unless I have no other option.||I guess the only good thing is that the staff is quite friendly and helpful.

I stayed at Hotel Max over the Memorial Day weekend. I had been wanting to stay at this hotel for a while specifically I am a fan of the 90's grunge. The hotel is pet friendly with a lower pet fee than most other hotels in Seattle. We mostly had a great experience but there are a few things that could be improved upon. ||First, I booked the Pets Rock Seattle Package. The website mentions that with that package the pet fee will be waived and we would get "comfortable bed for your pet and food and water dishes, we also include a signature welcome kit full of treats, a toy and a full list of local pet resources like vets, groomers, dog walkers and even pet psychics!" That's a direct quote from the Hotel Max webpage. ||We didn't get any of that and when we asked the staff about this, they were confused and ultimately told us they were out of everything and they could find dog treats for our pups. A real disappointment. We plan out trips around our pets and this was something fun and extra that we were looking froward to. Just disappointing for us. ||Second, the cleaning staff needs to clean the room properly rather than a quick tidy. There was dust on the surfaces and trash from other guests on the floor under the desk, on the side of the dresser, and near the underneath of the bed. There was also mildew in the shower which could be taken care of with a quick spray of bleach. |I will say that this is a hotel problem in general and not just for this hotel. A lot of hotels that we have stay in recently, have been lacking in the housekeeping which is sad because other than that, it would have been a much better experience. ||Lastly, the bathroom was SOOOO small. The sink was in our laps when we sat on the toilet... Not really the hotel's fault and I wouldn't expect them to change it or anything but something to think about for sure. Not a huge deal just minor inconvenience. ||Now, there are good things here. The staff was nice and pleasant to deal with. The valet guys went above and beyond and even assisted with bags for our dogs when we ran out. The front desk ladies were nice to talk to . The hotel is beautiful and the music memorabilia is something to see. We stayed in the Sub Pop floor and it was awesome! The door murals, the carpet, the Nirvana records in the room! Chef's kiss! ||I would stay here again and I would urge the hotel to check up on the pets rock and the cleaning of the rooms, aside from those two things, this would have been a top notch stay! The hotel is great and if those things can be corrected, this hotel would be fabulous! S real gem of a hotel in Seattle! Would stay here again for sure. :)
