  4. Just what the weary traveler ordered
    I booked my room for the tail end of a business trip as I was arriving in town late and had to be back downtown again the next morning. I knew I'd just want to be comfy and get some sleep instead of driving back and forth. The whole day traveling all I could think about was getting checked in and getting into a robe and climbing into bed. Getting to the hotel was a breeze from the airport,...

  6. great
    This Hotel has a great style. They are very cutting edge and the staff is still nice (hard to find at other hotels). My client was very happy with the room and the staff. i would book here again.

  7. Good times, nice place
    Well after reading reviews of this hotel, good and bad, I decided it sounded like it was worth a try, and it was. The beds were great, plush and comfortable. So yeah the rooms were a bit small, but unless you weigh 400 lbs I highly doubt it's true that people "could barely move" since I happen to be a bigger guy myself and was fine. Parking is expensive everywhere in Seattle and I found the va...

  8. Bourg-y, Stylish, Downtown
    This downtown hotel definitely has an edge, especially in decor. Similar to boutique upscale modernist hotels in every major city, Hotel Max is unique in the friendly staff department. I've found from multiple stays that they seem to really care about the customer and our needs. Specifically, I've spent significant time in their sparse business center, and have never felt like I was taking adv...

  9. We don't care at the Max!
    It took me two years to go back to the Hotel Max but I decided to get over my issues and try again. I spend a lot of time traveling and a lot of time in Seattle so I need to find decent hotels often. I should have stuck with my policy......Upon discovering that my car had been scratched by the valet (after I left) I called the hotel. (check out the garage they put your car in some time....). ...

  10. Never again.
    The front desk and the staff looked and acted like they were on loan from a fast food chain. The hall ways reminded me of being back in college dorms. No one bothered to inform me that I was not getting the non-smoking I had asked for. Go ahead and be edgy but don?t forget the fundamentals.

  11. Different, in a good way!
    I had been given a gift certificate for the Max, and was afraid of what I thought would be a closet with a bed (since the cirtificate was the basic class of room), but instead I had a PERFECT room for a night away! The size was larger than expected after reading previous reviews, the bed was absolutely the most cozy I have slept in, and even the bath robes were plush! I was on the 8th floor and h...

  12. Hip Rip OFF!!!!!!!
    OK, yes it was hip. And they did allow my dog, another plus. That's where it ended. $25/night to park..valet mind you is the ONLY option for parking. We had 2 cars since I met my girlfriend there 3 night x 2 cars x $25=a whole extra nights stay!!. Room was TINY not european, barely big enough to turn around in. Shower was almost impossible to get into, I kept hitting my elbows, and knocking...

  13. Worst hotel in Seattle!
    As a world traveler, I was surprised at the reviews for this hotel. I wouldn't stay here again even if someone else paid for the closet that they consider a room! This was the worst hotel that I have stayed in in over 25 years. Calling it European is an insult to Europe. The hotel was claustophopic, the ceilings in the hall were low, the elevators smelled of old feet and the rooms were so s...

  14. Smoky Squeeze
    This was a disaster. The room was covered in a coating of smoke. The front desk said I was out of luck on a non-smoking room because I reserved through Hotels dot com - evidently they didn't really consider me a valued customer. I spend at least 150 night in hotel rooms every year and this was one of the worst. There was an airconditioning unit in my room and was constantly blowing on me while tr...

  15. Best hotel experience ever!
    So I spent a couple of days in Seattle two weeks ago for a business trip, I've traveled frequently for work and pleasure, stayed at the best and worst places all over the world and I have to admit this is my new favorite hotel. First of all it's affordable (call me cheap, but I'd rather be able to afford a few extra days in the hotel than have a "ultra lux" room), the rooms are just as nice, if ...

  16. Fun place - good service- cool room
    Yes, the rooms are small. But they are decorated with a metro cool touch and the doors on each floor are fantastic. I have stayed at the Max with friends instead of staying at my old condo, and despite the fact I have more room now, I will still book it for visitors. Bonus points for: Fast valets, great front desk folks, Red Fin bartenders make good Bloody Mary's on a blurry Sunday morning, roo...

  17. The beds are heavenly
    We had a friend?s bachlorette party at the Max. The hotel was very accommodating. I love the new look. It's very young and hip. The beds are so comfortable. We had a great time.

  18. Cool and hip
    This is a great boutique hotel with an amazing restaurant in it. Red fin is a sushi restaurant that is outstanding. The lobby of Max is very hip with the coolest red front desk. Rooms and great as well and love the music.

  19. Funky and Fun
    I put some out of town friends up here over the summer and they all had great things to say about their experience. Consensus was the rooms were small but stylishly appointed and service was friendly and accomodating. Due to room size and the hip, funky vibe of the Max, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for your 80 year old grandparents or families traveling with small children, but I would def...

  21. Awesome hotel, but...
    ...the rooms are too small. My boyfriend and I booked a "queen of art" room and found it to be a tight squeeze. Sharing a bathroom to get ready in the morning is impossible and with luggage to last us a week, there wasn't nearly enough room to put it all. If you are travelling by yourself, its perfectly fine, but if you are travelling with two, i suggest the "artist king" room. Hospitality wa...

  22. Great hotel for all occasions
    This hotel is stylish, filled with modern amenities, has a great staff and overall is a great place to stay. The corner rooms are great and if you're going for a romantic getaway, ask for a little "hanky panky." The hotel is great for business travelers, as they've got high-speed wireless Internet that was reliable and easy-to-use. Overall, one of the best hotels I've stayed at in a long t...

  23. sweet seattle stay
    This hotel is awesome!! Coo, fun & hip but not pretentious about the art factor. All local art, all the doors have sweet black a& white photos . The staff is awesome; super friendly and helpful. The rooms are a bit smaller, but its an old building and they make up for it in every other way. Good location to downtown, easy to walk around and the staff gives good suggestions! Made my seattle trip ...

  24. Best hotel stay
    I was prepared pretty well for my trip to the city, and i knew the size of the rooms where more on the small size but who could say anything bad about the MAX! It was amazing from the soaps to the pillow menu. The staff far outreachs any other concierge staff that i have seen. Great stay!

  25. Great location and Quality!
    I travel up to Seattle for work every month and normally stay at the Fairmont.. but Hotel Max has been my choice of preference for personal visits to the Seattle. I would highly recommend this hotel for the quality, value and location.

  27. Great for the right traveller!
    For a single traveller the experience was very good - location, decor, and service was excellent. However, the room was extremely small, with barely enough room to drop your bags a turn around. I am not sure how a couple would fit!

  29. BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!!
    We came up to Seattle from LA & were totally impressed by our lodgings. At $120/night (air+hotel pkg), we didn't expect much. Happily we were wrong! AMAZING VALUE - like a W Hotel on a shoestring. The SERVICE was the standout, also the trendy, modern decor & ambiance. Rooms were very NY (small) but flat screen TVs & modern styling made up for it. Plus we were out most of the time. Bathroom...
