• Great location for our tourist needs. Nice/helpful staff.
• The striped pattern of the rooms wall paper. Not good for a migrain sufferer. No refridge or microwave.

“The staff was great. They went out of their way to find a special item for me. The goldfish were a pleasant surprise. The only thing that I disliked were the striped patterns on the hotel room walls.”

• Location, large comfortable rooms, wine tasting.
• Parking fee of $40, by the time your done with taxes and tips for one night, it was $60! For parking!

“Nice friendly hotel, we didn't' take in too much. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant, participated in the wine tasting and psychic event. The HAVOC in our room had an annoying chirping sound all night long, we could have said something but it was late and we didn't even want to think about changing rooms. Overall We liked it and would return.”

• Excellent wine reception with fortune-teller!
• Lack of pool, expensive parking, small bathtub!

“My husband and I are much more likely to stay in a fairly inexpensive chain hotel than an upscale boutique hotel such as the Hotel Monaco, but for the price we got the room, we definitely won out! The room was comfortable, very quiet (didn't hear anything, even street noise from the main road right below), and nicely decorated. The lobby is well decorated but still casual and comfortable. The wine reception hour was a lot of fun - we met with friends and really enjoyed our complimentary fortune readings. The fortune teller who was circulating among the crowd was very patient with one rather annoying member of our party who never stops talking, ever. And the concierge was very accommodating with my husband, who probably had more than his fair share of the wine (which was excellent, by the way).”

• The lobby was done nicely and the color scheme overall was nice.
• There was no hot tub, the card in the bathroom offered complimentary things that were not available . There was only 2 curling irons available.

“We looked forward to time away and the room was clean enough. The staff did an excellent job of cleaning. I found that for a 4 star it was lacking. The chair in the room was worn and there was not an air of luxury. I had stayed over night for a convention last month and we stayed at the Edgewater which we got on priceline for pretty much the same amount. It was far more luxurious. There was a fireplace in the room and a large luxury bathroom. I was happy with my stay because my husband and I got to be away from home but it had no luxury feeling we were in a basic room. I thought there was a hot tub but must have misread that we brought swim clothes that would have been nice to relax in. I guess it felt more like a business class type hotel. The doormen were friendly and helpful. We didn't use valet parking because it was too expensive for us so we parked and walked a block as we planned to walk around anyway.”

• Excellent service, convenient location, clean, comfortable bed and
  liked the pillows and duvet cover on bed. Coffee, tea & newspapers in lobby in morning.

“I would reommend this hotel for its convenient and safe location and its friendly, helpful, and informed staff. The rooms are clean and a nice size. The rooms have flat-screen TVs. Our room was quiet. The beds were comfortable and the pillows and duvets were comfortable. We liked the cheerful and rather funky room decor.”

• Not a lot of available public space seating in lobby area.

“I thought the Hotel Monaco was great and would recommend it. The hotel provided Starbucks coffee in the lobby in the morning, as well as a nice tea assortment. Also had free wine available in the evening for an hour. The room was wonderful. Great shower. Very clean hotel.”

• I liked the downtown location. It was close to many attractions.
• I did not like that the only parking available was the $40 per night valet.

“The room was small and the king size bed was really uncomfortable. My husband and I tossed and turned all night. They did not have a room with double beds so my son slept on a roll-away that was brought to the room. Plus the bathroom did not have a bathroom fan. Not a great idea for such a small space.”

• The wine tasting in the lobby at 5pm and the happy hour, Hor D'oeuvres in the restaurant!
• Less funky than it's sister hotel Monaco in Portland! Expensive valet parking.

“This is a great chain. They are fun, unique and chic. They love dogs and have an uber friendly staff. During the wine tasting (not as good as the Portland one, but not bad), they had a fortune teller- unique and fun!”

• Great boutique feel.
• The food from Sazerac is overpriced and not amazing, the $40/night charge for parking thats a surprise!

“I really liked the hotel and the location. The rooms were great and felt unique. The food from Sazerac was extremely overpriced, we paid 68 dollars for French toast and eggs Benedict! Also I would have liked to have been informed of the $40/night parking fee while check-in, and there is a parking garage down the street for $15/night. Overall I really enjoyed the experience though.”

• Parking costs $40 - outrageous.

“This is a beautiful hotel. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The location is excellent. There is a restaurant on the property that is good with an extremely pleasant staff. They have a great happy hour with extremely cheap eats until 8:00 PM. Parking is valet only and costs $40 dollars and street parking does not seem that safe downtown.”

• Its unique vibe and boutique feel.

“Great location. Unique decor and boutique feel make this a fun place to stay. The pre dinner hour drinks for guests is a nice touch and the goldfish bowl in your room at your request is funky idea, nice branding. We liked that you could bring your pets to the hotel with no problems. I would saty here again.”

• Wine and cheese hour every night.
• Lack of conveniently located electrical outlets in room.

“Beautiful place with an elegant lobby and extremely helpful staff. My room was spacious and quiet. I loved the location. The library is practically next door, and there are loads of restaurants and stores within easy walking distance yet the street felt safer than some areas closer to the waterfront. I walked everywhere, including to Pike Place Market.”

• The decor and the flat screen TV.
• The restaurant slow service and the double bed.

“The location was excellent. The room was nice. We had 2 double beds in our room. A king would have been better. The restaurant had good food it was way too slow. I have never had to wait so long for a meal and we asked 3 times before we got a drink. The hotel is very nice though. I will eat elsewhere next time.”

• It was attractive, perfectly located for my needs, very customer oriented.

“The Monaco is located right in the center of Seattle activity. It is very attractively decorated and places a premium on customer service. I loved the complimentary wine reception in the evenings and the well equipped bathrooms. All the staff were exceptionally friendly without being intrusive. Very helpful in terms of getting us restaurant reservations and providing other information.”
