Hotel Theodore

Well. I probably won’t stay here again. The bed is comfy. The shower water pressure decent. The room is clean. But the toilet handle is in a really awkward position behind and very close to the glass shower. The sink is really shallow and the drain makes it even more so. There’s no laundry service and washing clothes in this tiny sink is extremely difficult. In the shower, you have to stand under the cold water to turn it on and it starts out freezing cold! This is why I wouldn’t stay here again. The room does have a table and chair and couch and a Keurig and a small refrigerator. The best thing about this hotel is the restaurant. I had an amazing lunch there.

Stayed for pax west. The room was big and nice but the bathroom was uhmmm a London style (tiny as a...) and we are two small girls so not sure how big guys would be able to use it. Otherwise, it was clean, the king bed was very comfortable. Plenty of windows, nice sofa and a huge table. No central switch to turn all the lights off. Seems like an old building. The Internet does NOT work. There are networks but no internet. They were supposed to send me an email with all the instructions but that mail never came. They sent me the invoice after checkout though. The staff members are all very friendly. Just bits and pieces missing here and there. I would stay there again though.

Positive: Clean, upscale, in a safer neighborhood, but could still walk downtown towards the water under 15 minutes & train nearby too. Pleasantly surprised! Negative: ""

Positive: Nice staff and clean rooms. Cool old hotel that has been maintained well. Negative: ""

Was there for a private party. The layout of the area was sprawling yet cozy. Loved the decor. A blend of old fashioned charm meets modern.

Positive: The area that it was in Negative: I didn’t like it because there was no laundry services or vending machines in it.They advertised that there was a mini bar in room but only had water for sale and stuff for coffee.They should’ve had room service were you can order from restaurant to room

Positive: Very good service. The hotel has a wood fired grill that makes every room smell like a pleasant wood fire. Loved it! Negative: They only had $60 valet parking, decided to park in the structure next door for $32 a day.

Positive: The bed and pillows are very comfortable. Location is amazing, everything close by. The Rider restaurant was great too. Negative: The resort fee doesn?t include anything. And the restaurant includes 18% gratuity, even if service isn?t great.

Really nice boutique property right in the center of town. Pros: Easy walk to Pike Place and other attractions, and a great bar and restaurant attached. Rooms are clean and quiet, and the elevator is super quick, and no walk to your room, like larger places. Really friendly staff and in-room service is lighting fast. Like asked for some ice and it came less than 10 min later. Prices are good and would totally stay again. In-room fridge actually keeps things cold and is big, like can fit small groceries. Wow! Cons: coffee maker didn't work, which I feel is totally typical in hotels, so not a big deal. Valet parking, while really friendly and fast, is difficult as well as unload and such as they don't have a turnaround or place to pull over and the lot they use is a one way that they've had to use as a two way, so that's a little hard, but not their fault. I'm sure that's a city thing. Lobby cafe was challenging, as one morning they didn't have regular coffee--like eh? But what they do have is good, but seemed always out of something or when asked about green tea, they said yes, and then offered jasmine? Sounds really petty, I know, but for a nice joint like this, like what are y'all doing? Also, the complimentary drink they offer with the resort fee, never saw a whiff of that. :( All in all, more pros than cons and cons are just personal stuff, so I say give this place a try when visiting, I will be back, for sure.

I stayed here two separate times this past week. The good: Location was great. Very walkable to many incredible restaurants and areas to shop including Pike Place. Checkin was easy and the rooms were very clean. Staff was friendly. The "welcome drink" that's listed on the website is only from 6-7 and is a choice of Cabernet or Chardonnay but you can't drink it at the bar of the restaurant that is attached. The bad & the ugly: I was only offered the welcome drink upon the second checkin. They do not have any smart TVs or anything to watch while you are relaxing really. The WiFi is public and it is terrible so couldn't even watch anything on our phones! They did not clean our rooms while we were gone either. There is no microwave and while there is a coffee machine, none of the pods are labeled so we assumed they were all caffeinated. All of the showers are situated so that you literally CANNOT turn them on without spraying yourself! Overall not worth it for the price and amenities provided but it was decent.

Nice, quite and clean boutique hotel Restaurants 1 minute walk Mall 2 minutes walk Starbucks right cross the street Great customer service You can text the lobby with inquiries and they will answers all your questions in few minutes. Free umbrellas on rainy days Free Nespresso in room Nice big shower room

Best night sleep of my life. Theodore has an incredible hospitality team. Kind, mindful, and extremely welcoming. Highly recommended the hotel - especially for easy access to downtown gatherings, restaurants -- although their restaurant, Rider, is amazing. You can catch local shows, conventions, or sports minutes away. I hop on the monorail (two blocks away) and get to Climate Pledge Arena and the space needle in 5 minutes. Perfect for concerts or Kraken games. I love it here and would move in if they allowed it. Truly an incredible stay, team and experience every time. Best in Seattle!

I booked this experience from a FB ad on my timeline to celebrate NYE. We were able to get a standard king room, valeted the car & get ready. A few things when we pulled up valet was nowhere in sight, so we went in and the staff was holding a conversation between themselves about some guest drama with them having more than one occupant. So we politely waited for them to acknowledge us and after a minute or so we were checked in. We needed a cart and the staff was able to find us one and then took care of the valet for us. We stayed on the 11th floor and it was very quiet. The room was super cramped and not ideal if you're a girly girl who needs space to get ready. There's no sitting area, plug in front of the mirror on the wall and it's super dark. The king bed swallows up the room. I was able to make due in the restroom but wasn't able to sit and prep. But, the ambiance of the room was great, the bed was soft and I slept like a Champ. There's no view to look at and you'll have a view into the rooms of the opposite hotel, so keep those curtains drawn. We were given a bottle of Champs for the NYE package after 8p we were granted access to the penthouse. We showed up around 11p and there were a handful of other guests. There was a pseudo bartender that was friendly and a dj with an attitude that did not hype the night up. He just stood there like I'm here until midnight. We were supposed to have pano views of the city and a clear view of the fireworks but it was like wait what direction are we supposed to look into because um the views are obstructed by buildings. Now, the space was inviting and I'd definitely recommend it if you have a group of folks you want to entertain for sure. There was a hot tub in there. We asked the dj about interacting more and he was a trip. Like met everyone with an attitude the whole night. I'm sure you had the option to work or not tonight bro. There was an open bar and there were finger foods like a low barrier charcuterie setup but the cheese was sweating so i passed on that. We toasted at midnight, danced and enjoyed ourselves bc we were the vibe - but, definitely not worth the price point. I reached out to the hotel and shared my feedback in hopes that this experience can be elevated in a better way if they continue to provide events. The hotel, room and ambiance was great - just a bit cramped bc the hotel was built in 1929. It's getting 4 stars bc it was a fun night just room for improvements.

BEWARE ~ If you are a traveling professional, I would avoid this hotel at all costs. Our team of about 7 stayed here while attending a trade show at a nearby hotel, hoping to escape the hustle and bustle. However, all of our items were stolen while in valet. The trade show was over a month ago, and we have since been ghosted by the hotel staff. Caleigh at the front desk has been no help, only giving my assistant the runaround. Juan, who is supposed to be looking into this and providing insurance details, is nowhere to be found, and the General Manager, who I spoke with over a week ago and promised to call back the same day, has yet to follow up. If you want your belongings stolen--including several iPads, MacBooks, and more--this is the place to stay. Otherwise, I'd recommend trying any other hotel in the area before booking here again.

Hubby and I stayed at Hotel Theodore for a couple nights before we left on our Alaskan cruise. Check-in was easy and quick. The girl who checked us in was extremely friendly and gave us a bunch of useful information. We loved the location! Pike Place Market was only a 10 minute walk. The monorail and 2 pharmacies were within a 5 minute walk. There were lots of bars and restaurants within a short distance as well. Our room was a good size, the king bed and pillows were all very comfortable. The bathroom was definitely small but still very functional. The hotel opened in 1930 which explained the smaller size. They didn't require anything special to check-out so we just returned the room key in a drop box at the front desk and we were on our way. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

If your looking for a great place to stay in downtown Seattle, then Hotel Theodore is for you. The hotel is about a 7 minute walk from Pikes Place where you can find many delicious restaurants. Upon checking in the staff was very helpful and answered all question we had about downtown and what to do. They gave us ideas on what restaurants, bars and places we must try and see. I was very surprised on how nice the rooms were. Don't get me wrong it could have been a bit bigger but we were barely in the room so it all worked out. The room was clean and the beds were comfy. I would definitely come back and stay here again

After checking out, they tacked on $125 hidden fee to my visa bill. For no reason. When I made the reservation, I was assured there would be NO additional charges above the $1450 (approx) for 5 night stay. When I called the hotel to complain I was hung up. Service is super minimal: They gave me no fresh towels (I ran out after 5 nights), no extra soap, and zero room cleaning or fresh sheets during my 5 night stay, so it's unclear what the fee is for??? Also they are lax about allowing smoking/vaping and so they just cover it up with gallons of perfume. So if lingering smoking/vape smells are a dealbreaker, choose other lodging. The bathrooms are super tiny/closet sized. No room for a toothbrush, toothpaste, a bottle of soap, or even a place to set your glasses. I'm not kidding; it's a real challenge.... The restaurant was good, yes, but very busy so unless you make reservations you won't get seated there. I only got in once during my stay. They do not seem very welcoming to solo diners. Service is very minimal at the restaurant, and that's likely because they add a generous tip to every bill. So the waitstaff doesn't have to do anything to earn a tip.

Great location. Walk distance to a lot of sights. It was clean, classy, and comfortable. Rooms are small, but you're in the city it's to be expected. The building was tastefully renovated. They have a self parking garage RIGHT next door if valet is not your style. They have a yummy coffee/breakfast place and nightly wine 6-7. The employees were so kind and helpful. They were very pleasant to interact with. We would no doubt stay here again.

Just to say that this is the first time I've stayed at a hotel in downtown Seattle so I don't know if Hotel Theodore is typical of that experience. I think the location is very good - a block from the convention center and about seven blocks from Pike's place market. It was easy to get to other things as well via walking or rideshare. But this room was super tiny - I had a standard queen room and it was really only large enough for one person. The room was smaller than a hotel room I had in NYC. I did feel like everything was very clean and nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable. The lobby area was nice. They said they do a wine happy hour at six pm but I missed it both nights I was there. Room was definitely on the expensive side - about $250/night.

Really remarkable terrible check in experience with the rudest most incompetent check in person. First she couldn't find our room, then she refused to give us the room we were guaranteed, even though it says guaranteed on the reservation. Asked to speak to the manager, that still hasn't happened. Reached out to the hotel on instagram, nothing. No one mentioned a resort fee or anything like that to me. Learned that from this page. Oh a welcome drink? we barely got a room. rooms are tiny, like a NYC hotel room. they are clean, you have to ask for housekeeping and it's quiet. do no recommend. we eventually got the room we were guaranteed (I think, still not sure, but it took much arguing).

Wonderful little funky hotel. Smallest bathroom I've ever seen; but who needs a huge bathroom? Staff and accommodations were delightful and within easy walking distance to Pikes Place and shopping district. Would definitely stay again

Front desk customer service is terrible. Hardly acknowledged upon arrival. No mention of complimentary drink at check in. No water at check out. It took an hour to get more linens for the couch bed. Had to call twice. 1st king bed suite was small. Second room we had for our last night was nice. Tried to get a later check out. Man at the front desk was smug and just said no even after the night attendant said it shouldn't be a problem. Now just sitting here in lobby with exhausted family, after a week of travel, waiting for the time to pass. Will nerve return, recommend to a friend or visit another sister property. We only stay in luxury hotels and this is quite possibly the worse experience yet.

We were able to book a room here over the summer for $99 a night, so I can't have too many complaints, but overall, it was a solid stay. Pros: -Convenient downtown location: we took the rail in from the airport and we were able to walk the 1.5 blocks from the stop to the hotel with our luggage easily. Also a really quick walk to Pike's Place and to the quick metro that takes you to the space needle and Chihuly garden. -Daily happy hour in the lobby means they provide you a free glass of wine each night. -Rooms were really spacious. We had a large seating area and waiting area in front of the bed. -The room also came with a food and beverage credit so we were able to buy things like coffee and bottled water. -Super friendly staff. They were all really nice. -They had bikes that you could borrow. Cons: -Although the location was convenient to get around, as we went outside, we saw a lot of drug use happening around us on the streets and many unsanitary conditions on the streets around us. You will want to be cautious walking around particularly at night. -They didn't have full cleaning service daily so if this is important to you, you should book elsewhere. Overall, a solid stay. I don't think we'd want to stay in this area of Seattle again, but the hotel itself was nice and we had a good stay.

8/14/21 Luxury Hotel for sure! So this place was awesome from the decor to the staff to the awesome fun facts and pictures throughout the hotel! Just wanted to Explore! What a great location. I mean so many shops and places to eat, drink, shop. Coffee or anything else you can think of! The Room was fabulous! Plenty of space and some. So the one thing that excites me the most was the Shower Room! Yeah I know maybe it was called something else but it literally is a whole room tiled devoted to the shower and Tub! So that means the whole room was a shower with a Tub in it! So cool never seen anything like this before. It gave me ideas for my future house! Next super cool Facts all over the room with pictures about Seattle and things that were made here! I loved all the amenities as well. Their are bikes you can use and ride around. Also complimentary cocktails for happy hour in the lobby area! Score. I shall return sooner than later!!!!! Keep up the great work Theodore!!!!

What a nice hotel in a great location. Gladys was really wonderful at the front desk and made us feel welcomed as valued guests. Bed was super comfortable and the room was quiet and clean. Our room 1601 was near the elevator but there was no noise. I like the card key requirement for outside and elevator. The coffee bar is excellent but has limited hours and has few food items . The bathroom is small but typical for large city hotels. There's a refrigerator in the room. I think there is a Nespresso machine with tiny 1" pods in the room which we did not use. It's walking distance to the market and monorail. They had umbrellas you can borrow There was a bicycle but I'm not sure if you can borrow it. Happy hour is good for drinks but the food items are disappointing. I would stay there again. Booked at travelocity and was at about the same rate as what I heard other guests paid but you know you'll have the reservation. View was nice too

Let me start off by saying that I have stayed in many 4 and 5 star hotels... this no higher than a 3 star. The hotel and room is indeed well decorated but the space is absolutely TINY. I cannot stress this enough. The complaints about the size of the rooms are warranted. As for hotel experience, I would say the rating would be 2/3rds about the room/bathroom and the remainder 1/3rd on the hotel service. We understand that 2/3rds is beyond management control but 1/3rd is unacceptable. Let's discuss the service: 1.Front desk is unfamiliar of the Peloton services the website claims. Overheard a couple ask how to use the Peloton bike and no one at the front desk knew the answer to this 2.Bike rentals: this seems slightly exaggerated and close to false advertisement. The truth is that the hotel only has 2 bikes. If anyone takes out those 2 bikes, there is none to use. I tried to check out the bikes, expecting free service and they were checked out all day. Why not accurately state in your website you only have 2 bikes for the entire hotel and it's first come first serve? 3. Hairdryer. The hair dryer in my room wasn't even functional. Only released cool air. No hot air 4. Bathroom storage: where are people supposed to place their toiletries/toothbrushes. Please add additional storage space These things are within your control and they are part of the experience Now let's talk about the rooms which are not so much in your control: -bathroom is so tiny the water from the sink would splash on my clothes. -room is so tiny I hit my ankle on the bed while on the way to the bathroom at midnight Overall my experience was very unpleasant. I would not stay here again. The location is great though but there are also other hotels in the vicinity

We were very pleased with our Hotel Theodore experience, but not moved or overwhelmed. The location is central, and within walking distance of most areas you'll want to visit. The staff was also very kind and accommodating. Here's a few caveats that I believe the hotel could rectify. 1) The hotel restaurant, which looked very inviting, was indefinitely closed. Having a restaurant to get a meal or to grab a drink after a day of sightseeing would have been great considering everything in the area closes around 6:00 pm. 2) One of the double beds in our room had a large indent in the mattress. It was like sleeping in a hole every night. 3) My family and I were there for a week, and our room only had a large wardrobe to hold all of our clothing. Additional furniture would have been appreciated. 4) The bathroom was quite small for three people. Only one person could reasonably fit in it at a time. Other than this, the Hotel Theodore provided a central place for us to unwind after a day of exploring the Emerald City.

We spent 2 nights here and it was a very nice quaint hotel in Downtown Seattle. Great location, right next to the convention center and about a 10 minute walk to Pike Place. There was a little mix up when we checked in, which was that we initially booked a room with 1 bed but then wanted to change it to 2 beds. They were unable to change the room before we checked in but we were told and reassured that they would be able to bring in a rollaway upon check in. Well that was not the case. We were told that the standard room was too small for a rollaway. They said that they could switch our room for a larger one but there would be an additional charge. Then they said that they had a handicap room that could accommodate a cot so we took that room. After going up to our room and unpacking, we receive a call that that a cot would NOT fit in our room. But they were nice enough to move us to a room with 2 beds for no additional charge. The standard rooms are very small but the room with 2 beds were huge. The bathrooms are small though. Overall, I would stay here again but a big part has to do with their location.

It was fine for one person for one night just to sleep in. The bathroom is super cramped with the door nearly touching the toilet. The bed was comfortable; room is small. But it's clean and there is a decent coffee shop downstairs.

This is a charming hotel in a great location downtown Seattle. Daniel greeted and registered us right away. He made us feel welcome during our 4 day stay. There is a garage literally next door which offers parking $32/night instead of the hotel valet at $55/night. The lobby has a very high ceiling and plenty of seating with live plants and gorgeous colors and soft lighting. There is also cold water and cups available in the lobby for guests. The room decor is nice as is the bathroom, but very small. The bathroom is cramped, no counter space at all for all my toiletries. Thats why I'm offering 4 stars instead of 5. I appreciate the nespresso coffee in the room. The gym is nice as is the attached restaurant, Rider. The burger there is delicious and the drinks are strong!

No restaurant. No bar. No minibar. No room service. Like 1 dude works here. Uber eats for dinner and I have to go flag the car down on the street and all hotel offers as service is plastic silverware baggy. So much nope for ~$1500 weekend stay.

Truly the worst customer service I've experienced. Felt highly disrespected and ignored. The young lady with orange hair at the desk made me and my partner truly uncomfortable and accomplished her mission of asking us feel unwanted. Never was welcomed when we walked in the door. Arrived at 11am, asked to be put onto the early check in list, attempted to check into hotel and was made to wait until 3PM. I literally asked ever hour and was told the same thing: there were no rooms available. Front desk made no attempt to reach out when the room was ready. No call, text or email. Was not given any information about the hotel, had to keep asking until they had something at 3PM- again nobody reached out and front desk saw us waiting in the lobby for hours. Ice took a minimum on 30 plus minutes to be delivered to room. I will be posting this on all hotel review sites. Truly worst birthday experiences ever. Wish i could share more. Location is the only reason i choose to give them a 2 star

Found this hotel as part of the JetBlue package I booked for Seattle. It is super cute! Turns out my friends husband's job puts him up here when he travels for work. I feel like that's a good sign. There's a restaurant, Rider, in the hotel, as well as MADE coffee. My room was ready when i checked in and I was upgraded to a king studio. The room itself is small - when you walk in bathroom on the right (cozy but love the decor), bar on the left. There's a armoire w/ a safe, king bed, 2 side tables, TV on the wall and a chair and table to the side. It was honestly perfect for me. Everything was clean, bed was comfy. And you get $5 credit every day you choose not to have your room done, it's eco-friendly! They do charge a daily resort fee. I made sure to use the gym once (2 treadmills - Peloton I think, 2 bikes - also at least 1 is Peloton, an elliptical, weights and room for stretching. They also offer complimentary cocktails from 5:30-6:30 daily in the lobby. The bartender has a daily drink, it was their take on a gin + cranberry the day I went. Make sure to tip since the drinks are free. I was also doing the yoga class at Chihuly and needed a yoga mat. I told the front desk and they sent up the Well + Fit package - containing an iPad, light weights, resistance band, barre ball, yoga mat + cleaner! So clutch. The front desk was also great, really friendly. Location is also central for walking to Pike Place Market, the waterfront, and Space Needle. And there are food options close to the hotel. I would recommend and would stay here again!

I loved this hotel! It is in a great location--just a few blocks from the market. There were at least six different lamps in our room and the checked tiles in the bathroom are so fun; I love this hotel's style. We were lucky and stayed in a corner room with great cityscape views. The hotel staff were attentive and kind. They are taking appropriate COVID cautions (tv remote in a bag, one party elevator, social distancing, masks, etc). I would happily stay here again when visiting Seattle. The only things preventing this cute hotel from being five stars for me is that the bathroom is pretty small, and that I could hear other guests through the bathroom vent when I was in there.

On Hotel Tonight, this hotel is classified as a luxe level hotel. Be warned, in NO WAY, is this a luxe hotel whatsoever. I'm a level 14 user of Hotel Tonight, so yeah, I've used the app a bit. They room they give you is a shoe box. The size of some hostels and mini boutiques I've been to. It is not luxe by any stretch of the imagination. They do however, as most hotels do, have some luxe rooms on the penthouse. But they charge you an extra $40 for these rooms. Even these rooms are just maybe luxe level. Them calling themselves a Luxe hotel is ultra deceptive marketing. They are literally running a bait and switch...which is a huge pet peeve of mine. Please don't support this establishment until they change this classification. I actually forgot I stayed here before (yes, this hotel is that forgettable)...and almost got fooled into booking here again due to the luxe classification.

Sucks. Grand Hyatt across the street full. Booked here. Room, pleasant. Service? They never heard the word. Room cleaning never showed up. Went to restaurant for dinner. Caesar salad with chicken. Easy. Not. Long wait. Next night used room service app. Didn't work. Called. Oh, we can't do room service. Says here you do. Response: you have to come down. Me: why? Response: we need your info. Me: how 'bout by phone? Response: nope. Advice: just say no. Save your cash -- wasn't cheap. $450 a night. And for this ... They don't give a crap once they have your credit card. No, they just don't ... give ... a ... shit.

Hotel Theodore has an awesome downtown location within a ten to fifteen minute walk to the Pike Place Market sign. The location gets five stars. We stayed three nights at the historic luxury hotel. The first night we were cramped in their deluxe room with a queen bed on the 17th floor. If there's two of you, it's going to be real tight. There's a bed, small nightstand, a club chair, very small table that looks like a marble stool, big screen flat tv screen on the wall, a bathroom the size of a bathroom in a regular cruise ship cabin, and a tiny closet. The space is clean and lux, but it's tiny (approx. 200-250 sq. ft.). We upgraded for the second and third night to a superior king corner room on the 11th floor. This time our room was approx. 400 sq. ft. Real nice.. a whole different experience. The corner room had a sitting room with large circular dining table and long sofa. The bathroom had a little more grazing space. Pros: Comfy bed; tasteful modern & subtle décor; clean room & public spaces; the complimentary happy hour ( a cocktail is showcased each evening) in their back sitting space; convenient Made Coffee & Rider Restaurant on the main floor; in-room coffee, reasonably priced snack & drink items in room mini-bar; and friendly staff. Cons: In older historic buildings like HT, the elevators are slow; and the rooms are bit tight in space; There are no ice machines on the floors; During peak check in and check out hours, request for ice or other incidentals, the service is extremely slow. Overall though, we would return to HT whenever in Seattle again. Awesome location!!

The reception is not friendly. The deluxe king room's toilet is sadly small.. you can barely turn as a tiny asain. They have hidden fees which is amenitis fees! Won't come back anymore

Stayed for 4 nights with my cousin at this hotel. Upon arriving at night, everything seemed really nice, even the front desk worker was super nice and helpful. Location of hotel is great, the hotel itself...not so much. I would have expected more amenities considering they call themselves a four-star luxe hotel. Smart TV isn't so "smart," all they offer is Dish cable TV. Bathroom is tiny as hell. No counters, small sink, just terrible. Mattresses are super uncomfortable, and watch out for the bed frames because they will kill your shins. White lady that works mornings is lame and passive-aggressive, maybe just with us since we are brown girls, but whatever.

While I did not take notes during my stay at the Theodore, I do recall generally positive feelings about the Hotel. The biggest issues, which stuck with me, regarded room size and the bill. One seemed kind of small, and the other, kind of big. Seeing the 3 1/2 Stars here on Yelp, I'd tend to agree. There is much to like here, but there's a bit of hesitation to go with 4. Customer service was great, and the staff deserves tons of stars. An out-of-left-field request to them was handled with the ease of a seasoned pro. Also, the front desk staff easily answered my off-the-cuff query as to the name of the Hotel Theodore. This engendered a certain confidence and charm. It's a vintage building, and occasionally one can see the limitations of that charm. The plumbing is updated, of course, and it's fun to see some period fixtures, too. The room is kind of small, no doubt about it. But it is comfortable. The TV against the wall appears rather huge, which can be nice. Otherwise, things feel very hip and contemporary. They have a fun Happy Hour type situation in the Lobby, compliments of the Hotel. Never had a chance to imbibe, but it's a lovely, cozy set-up that I wished I could have experienced. Adjoining this lobby is the restaurant bar and restaurant. The restaurant deserves its own review, but I can say here that the bar is a welcome and convenient venue to meet. Yes, I am aware of the day-job of the owner of the Theodore. And, at first I wondered how, if at all, that should effect my review. Ultimately, I prefer to let my impressions regarding the Hotel dictate the review, rather than anything else. I definitely liked the Hotel, and would definitely consider coming back.

I am impressed with this hotel. The location is perfect. It's literally in between stores like Nordstrom, the movie theater, restaurants and about 2 mile away from the Space Needle and Pikes Market/Gum Wall. Bathroom and the room is on the smaller side but you get what you pay for; I read on the previous yelpers comments from management stating that an upgrade is needed if you want a larger room (touché). The bar is not open but they do have a mini cafe in the lobby that's open. I didn't get the best view. The weird thing is that I paid full on a 3rd party website but was charged about $50 extra the moment I checked out. I was unsure what the extra fees were since my room was clean/I didn't have a car parked in the structure. My cleaning lady never came to my room nor knocked for service during the 2 nights 3 days I was there. Besides that, I am very impressed by this hotel and highly recommend everyone to check out this place.

Good downtown location, clean, simple and basic. 1. Location I wanted to stay in a hotel located in the heart of downtown and in walkable distance from all the key attractions and this hotel is in a good location. It is 15 min walk from Pike market and other interesting places. 2. Cleanliness No bugs or problems. Pretty good noise canceling, cause I heard no noise from neighbors. Towels are clean and sheets seemed clean, I slept in my full coverage pajama just in case. 3. No free breakfast They don't provide free breakfast like most hotels. But I was ok with it since my plan all along has been to eat the famous clam chowder but not eat hotel breakfast. This didn't bother me, but worth noting if it is important for you. 4. Free wifi Very fast, good wifi is available to the guests. 5. Free luggage hold up I checked out by 11 am, but was flying at 10 pm, they held my luggage all day for free. Their luggage storage is outside, so if you have something that shouldn't be in hot or cold weather in your luggage, this may not work well for you. Worked just fine for me. 6. Always unavailable restaurant They do theoretically have a restaurant downstairs, however, during my entire 3 day stay here, they had private parties in the restaurant, so this was a no-go. If you need a hotel that has food inside, this hotel isn't for you. 7. Gym I worked out around 8-9 am every day I stayed here. They have only 2 treadmills and one of the days, I had to wait about 45 mins before getting on it. Since there are many guests and given the small size of the gym, it had lines at times. However, I am grateful they had a gym. Hot and cold water dispenser is in the gym and free towels to use in the room too. 3 Yoga mats were available if you need that. 8. Service Finally, the overall service. It was great. No nonsense, efficient check in and out, room was cleaned on timely manner while I was out, towels were replaced as requested and they were willing to answer questions whenever I had one. All in all, it is not a cheap hotel due to its location, but it is not as luxurious as they made themselves seem to be on their website. I was a bit shocked to see the hotel in person versus their website. But, I still had a pleasant stay here.

This hotel is very nice and the staff were very accommodating but the room was a tad small, mostly the bathroom. The bed was comfortable but the thermostat was a little tricky and made it crazy hot to sleep under the covers in that comfy bed. They have this nice incentive of earning $5 towards the honor bar every day that you don't require housekeeping to come in with new towels and sheets that we tried to use a couple of nights that we stayed there. I'd say the worst thing about the place was the bathroom. The door is right in front of the toilet and the shower door is a split one to allow you to open the shower without hitting the bathroom door. The issue with that though, is that all the water pools at the bottom of the door and when you're done and open the door, all the water spills out to the floor/bath mat and soaks the towel. This design makes it almost impossible to go more than a couple days without new towels, maybe that's their plan after all. One cool thing that they offer is free happy hour from 5:30-6:30 every night for one or two drinks they offer that night. It's a nice thing to do while figuring out plans and before going out for the night. It's a nice place to stay, especially the location of where it's at because we were able to walk to and from our hotel often - just beware of the size of the room.

During my first visit to Seattle, I stayed at Hotel Theodore. While there was a mix up with the app, where I accidentally pre-paid for two nights in the same room for the same day, Ralph was able to help us out. The hotel was beautiful, and so close to the city, we were able to walk to Pike Place and to a Ferry from the hotel. The front staff was amazing, even with COVID-19 precautions, we still had a great and welcoming experience. The only downside was that housekeeping did not visit to freshen up the room. However, this was made up due to the fact I left my eye-glasses behind. The staff at Hotel Theodore, were amazing and went above and beyond to ship back my eyeglasses. When I called I spoke to Ashley, and after I explained everything she was able to help me and ship my glasses back to Arizona. The suite on the 15 floor was amazing, and I can not wait to return in February.

Not sure why this hotel has just ok reviews, it must be reviews prior to their renovations. I stayed here for two nights and it was perfect. The girl at the front was friendly and let us check in early. The room was perfect, huge comfy king bed with a big tv in front of it and nice bathroom. The room was small but if you're on vacation you usually only need a room to sleep and shower. It has a coffee shop in the lobby and a nice restaurant too. I never ate there but it has a nice ambiance. Perfect location too. 4/5 blocks from pike market, a mile from the space needle which you can easily walk to or if you don't wanna walk the hotel is about 2 blocks from the monorail which will take you to the space needle for $1.25.

Loved, loved, loved, this hotel! The location is so central and walkable. There were so many restaurants and shopping places on the same block that we didn't have to go far. The room was very spacious and the table at the entrance was very useful. Bathroom was beautifully too. It's a big boutique hotel and the lobby was absolutely beautiful and quaint especially at Christmas. This will be our go-to hotel at Seattle now.

This Review is completely because of Amanda. She was so amazing over the phone with her service and even upgraded my boyfriend and I to a premium suite solely out of the kindness of her heart. Her service was the highlight of our trip to Seattle. Not to mention the amazing location of the hotel, the gorgeous rooms, comfortable beds, stunning shower, and cozy ambiance. Wish I could give a higher rating for my experience here. Thank you so much!

From check-in to daily interactions, the service was poor. At check-in, the main desk rushed through their memorized welcome so quickly that I had to ask questions. She also forgot to tell me that to receive room service I had to request it. When I noticed that I was out of coffee pods I told the new person at the front desk that I needed more pods, this person was completely cold and didn't check to see if I had additional questions or additional requests (like, yes, I'd like a clean coffee cup). That night I arrived back from walking home from the Coldplay concert I asked the front desk if they had water, he disinterestedly pointed to a water dispenser that only had ice cubes, hoping for melted water I noticed there was none. He reluctantly left the front desk to refill the container, only to never return, leaving the front desk empty and me waiting. The next morning the complementary bistro attendant was brisk and acted like I was interrupting her morning. When she announced my coffee was ready her voice had a tone of "get your coffee, I could care less." Checking out my impressions with my husband, he said "Yeah, she was curt." The location of the hotel is fantastic, but the staff is disgusting.

On first view, this is a nicely renovated antique hotel that sells itself as boutique-style brand. That includes a free happy hour cocktail in the lobby. Furthermore, there is a home-style coffee bar which really provides wonderful coffee - at such slow speed though that immediately after ordering, one might regret not to have gone across the street to one of the multiple coffee shop chains. The room had a brand-new big-screen TV and a Keurig coffee machine. The rest was old with new wall paper. The smell of smoke was still in the room, which apart from that was extremely small. In the bathroom, there was no place for the personal items to be put down.

I wish I could highly recommend this place.The main problem is that the bathroom is miniscule with only a tiny sink and no counter at all. If you don't mind using your toiletries from the floor or from the back of the toilet, and resting the hairdryer in the sink (yikes!) I guess that's not a problem. It was for me. I'm not sure why we were put into that room when occupancy was below 40% that weekend. Surely there are better options. If not, that's a problem. It's not a cheap hotel. Also, management is unprofessional and seems confused. This hotel is not well-run. It is in a great location and is very clean.

I feel a little mixed about this place. It's a nicely decorated lobby and I enjoyed the cocktail hour. It's nice that they make a unique cocktail instead of just wine or beer. Cute cocktail cart and the bar manager who was serving was very friendly. The room was relatively plain. There wasn't a desk and no where to conveniently plug in your laptop to work so may not be the best for business travelers. The bathroom was cool, but it didn't have a lot of space. The towels are hung awkwardly behind the door and there were no wash cloths my first day. There should also be a soap dish because the soap is slippery and kept falling in the sink. I would still stay here again if the price was right, but in my opinion, it wasn't worth what I paid.

Be aware, don't get ripped off and read other reviews!!! They have hidden fees! Good location but the mattress was so bad. It was slumpy. My body was not level, left and right side, upper and lower body. And we are not heavy people. Could not sleep. Mattress needs to be replaced. I do not recommend. Not worth the money. Room was surprisingly small too. Could not move around.

My daughter and I stayed here for a night. I chose it initially because of the location and price. I am So happy with my choice to pick this hotel, it's beautiful. The service at the front desk was so lovely. The room itself was crisp clean, and smelled amazing. The layout also allowed for a lot of space to be used and the shower was my favorite. The view was amazing, and we got treated to the corner suite. Even valet service was great. They took care of us, and therefor we will be back In a couple weeks.

I should have checked Yelp first. Stayed with my girlfriend for the last week for 3 nights at the Hotel. We booked through one of the travel websites like Trivago. We figured it was a cute hotel with a central location that made it easy to walk to all our attractions we wanted to visit. The price was a bit more than we wanted to spend, but we figured it looked good so we'd give it a shot. Needless to say, when we showed up Valet parking was $45 a night. That was a bit ridiculous but whatever. It was convenient. I gave the valet my keys to our rental car, gave them my name, and went inside. We checked in around 6:30 which went smooth and sent us up to the 17th floor for a corner room. The room was very small and we hardly had room for our bags. The bathroom was tiny and cramped. The best part of the room was the bed. It was very comfortable and we both slept great. The hotel had a wood smoke smell throughout our floor. The central air unit in our room was kind of jenky and kicked on and off a lot. It wouldn't hold a specific temperature until I turned the fan on at a constant rate. We enjoyed our time in Seattle and go to checkout Saturday morning. We go down to the desk and get hit with an additional bill of $170 with all these hidden fees, resort amenity charge, and worst part of it all, they lost my rental car for about 20-30 minutes! Because I didn't give the name on the reservation and my name instead, they decided to put my car key at the front desk instead of with ALL the other keys for Valet and couldn't find it. I could tell the front desk worker and valet guy were getting a bit nervous. Finally they found it after that time and charged us for 2 days of Valet instead of 3. Regardless we weren't happy we were charged with extra fees and won't be staying at this hotel again. There are other places to stay that are cheaper and much more spacious.

Golllyyyy the rooms are tiny! If you're staying in the room alone.. sure. But, with two people it's a tight squeeze... once you get over the room size the hotel is in a PERFECT location! It's close to EVERYTHING. The rooms are clean, the hotel even has free happy hour drinks from 5-7. Note the room square footage before booking.

The Roosevelt is undergoing a ton of construction so make sure you call before you book your room. It is an experience right now -- at various points during my stay, the elevators were down and they were doing construction on the windows. Construction started as early as 6:30am, with hammering, drilling and scrapping all day. I found it impossible to sleep. The hotel also offers a "green" service, which means no housekeeping services in exchange for a $5 minibar credit. There's limited space to wait in the lobby. The rooms are small with no desk to work at but there are plenty of coffee shops to work at if you need to. The bathrooms are especially tiny with no counter space and no full length mirrors. That said, the staff is very kind and patient but maybe wait until renovations are done to stay.

This luxury hotel is a joke!!! We are crammed into this tiny room with a king size bed. They charge a resort fee (23.00) which isn't listed anywhere on my reservations. The front desk said the resort fee is to pay for our use for the wifi & gym. No pool & no hot tub. They only provided ONE robe, one set of toiletries and one set for coffee. The tv is a smart tv with no internet access!! The rooms have an over powering perfume smell like they are trying to cover up something. The windows open 5" which allowed us to have fresh air but our view is of a brick wall and were constantly getting smells from the kitchen below. Thumbs down.
