Staypineapple, The Maxwell Hotel, Seattle Center Seattle

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and it was nice to have on-site parking. The pineapple theme was very fun, and the size of the rooms was great. We loved the decor and free drinks, too. The location was quite convenient to access Seattle Center, as well, being only a block or so away from the ballet.

Our Aria King Room was spacious and well appointed with a desk, small refrigerator, small microwave, Keurig individual cup coffee maker, safe, two robes, luggage stand and a comfortable chair with ottoman. The bathroom, although small, was very functional. The walk in shower was nicely done ~ without a shower door but set up such that water stayed within the confines of the shower. Provided soap, shampoo and lotion was of good quality and towels were thick and absorbent. The King Bed was comfortable and the Scandanavian Sleep Method bedding was of high quality and allowed for a restful night. Although our rooms location was overlooking Roy Street which we thought might cause it to be noisy and too light for a restful nights sleep, happily I can say that was not so. There was no noticeable street noise and the black out curtains did an excellent job of doing just that, blacking out the exterior lights.

The room was well sized, as well as the bathroom. The decor was fun in the lobby. It was located in Queen Anne neighborhood near many tourists' spots within walking distance. Also, in walking distance to lots of great food and coffee.

The staff was friendly, the decor was funky, and the cookies were delicious. My twin girls (9) had a blast. Basically, everything was "so cool!" according to them. I agree! The beds were very comfortable, and the rooms were very quiet. The pool is small, but the perfect size for kids to have fun in. The lobby is a fun and welcoming place to hang out for happy hour or breakfast, and the afternoon cookies and coffee were a highlight of both days. My kids have already decided that we are coming back for their birthday in December.

I loved that the hotel offered free bicycles and we spent 6 hours riding around Seattle. It's one of the main reasons I chose this hotel along with price, location and reviews. I would love if the hotel added water cages to the bicycles and made sure all the bike seats were adjustable. Having a set of tools on hand would be a bonus to make minor adjustments. We stopped at REI to get the seat adjusted. The free glass of wine was a nice touch, the rooms are roomy, and the bed, pillow and twin duvet are super comfortable. I would have like to have had a super powerful shower head after the day's bike ride, but I survived. We would stay here again.
