Terrible, dumpy old hotel. Worst hotel stay of my life, and I've had some doozies in my hosteling years. In a bid to save money the management had shut off the AC for the season and the rooms were stifling. The front desk told us to open a window. Thanks, Einstein! I had to roll up a magazine to prop the window open. Still stifling. We tried wedging something under a hall door to the outside stairwell to try to create a draft. I spent most of one night trying to sleep in the lobby because it wasn't as hot as my room until the night clerk made me go back to my room. The bathroom was so tiny you couldn't sit squarely on the biffy because of the toilet roll dispenser being in the way. The trim around the floor was coming away from the wall. paint is peeling everywhere outside. The carpeting looks filthy. Good location downtown and the SBC was handy, but that's about all. They have WiFi which is nice but nowhere in the rooms to sit a laptop - except on your actual lap. Avoid!!

My husband and I made the mistake of booking this hotel by the hotel website pictures. The photographer did a good job with hiding the nasty rooms with professional lighting. The first room we had had a filthy bath as well as filthy net curtain. The wallpaper must be 40 years or more older. The next room they gave us was just as bad, but this time the bath was clean, but the fancy old style flooring looked really disgusting. The rooms need a major renovation. The carpet is so dark that you are not really sure if it's clean or not. Same thing with the furniture, in the picture they look in good shape, but in real they are old and wearing out. The lobby area and the upper level in the lobby was nicer and more comfotable than the room.

We spent two nights and three days in Seattle at the Executive Pacific. WE found the rooms small, but clean and comfortable. Considering the downtown location, we thought it was very good value. The hotel is withing reasonable walkign distance to all the downtown attractions, inculding staduims, Pike Place, Pioneer Square and the waterfront. There is lots of shopping close by and plenty of restaurants for any taste. We took advantage of the hotel's valet parking whilw we were there and unfortunately our vehicle was broken into. The staff handled the situation very professionally, making sure the broken glass was vaccuumed out and comping our room. Despite the problem we left well satisfied

I stayed at this hotel twice in September, 2009. The first time I was charged about $150/night. The second time $71/night. The $71 rate is about what this hotel is worth.

The location is great if you're a business traveler, or even for most tourists. It's a little off the shopping drag, but centrally located if you're also going to visit the aquarium, Chinatown, Pioneer Square, and the other things there are to do in Seattle.

But the hotel, itself isn't great. It's like it was a crappy hotel that someone really wanted to upgrade, but only just started before having to stop. Certain things don't go together. Flat screen TVs: good. Peeling paint: bad. Internet access: good. Carpet stains: bad.

I would stay here again if I was a single business traveler trying to save a buck. Would I bring my wife here? Heck, no! Not that it's not safe. But much of the hotel is simply worn out. Housekeeping tries really hard to fight back against the grime and does an admirable job. But you can only hold back the tide of funk for so long.

There's a great Seattle's Best attached to the lobby, and a Starbucks across the street. Free wifi at Seattle's Best and throughout the hotel. Starbucks wifi is free if you have AT&T DSL service or an iPhone.

One note for anyone who has difficulty getting around -- avoid this hotel. You must navigate a set of stairs to get from any of the entrances to the elevators. Here's a helpful hint for those who stay, though -- it's easier to thump your suitcases down the stairs from the mezzanine level to the entrance than it is to drag them up the stairs from the lobby level to the entrance.
