Cafe Disappointment - Seattle

Hotel Five (I guess the name is because it's on 5th Avenue? is a cute little hotel near the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle. As it's part of a Staypineapple chain of hotels, there is a pineapple theme, including pineapple-infused water in the lobby to drink. The location is excellent, roughly equidistant from Pike Place Market to the south and the Space Needle, the Chihuly Gardens, and Climate Pledge Arena to the north. Except when we got a bit tired and took a quick rideshare and one ride on the Monorail, we walked just about everywhere during our trip. Our room was spacious, with a seating area and a sleeping area, and I do appreciate the cute little pineapple-shaped device next to the bed with ample space for plugging in electronics. However, one thing I didn't like was the translucent panels in the bathroom walls that bled light into the sleeping area. This can be problematic when someone needs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. If I ever get back to Seattle, I'll be sure to visit Hotel FIVE again.

Love love love this place. Looking for a centrally located hotel in the downtown area? This one fits the bill. Couple blocks one way to Space Needle and couple blocks the other Pike market. The light rail is also super close. It's got great beds. Cute decor. Friendliest staff ever. Nice safety features with the key on elevators. Pineapple cookies were good too. Wish I'd gotten pics. I'd stay again.

OVERVIEW: This is an ecclectic boutique hotel located in Seattle. Conveniently located within walking distance of Downtown, the Waterfront, Pikes Market Belltown. While I had a rental car, I found myself walking most places. There 's an advantage to this as it allows you to get the feel for the neighborhoods and experience more. I have been to Seattle numerous times, specifically this area as well. However there were glass blowing shops, retail stores, coffee shops and other single-owned businesses that I have otherwise missed when driving the area and due to having to pay closer attention to traffic and less of the scenery. LOCATION: The location is perfect. Located on the Metrolink, within walking distance of downtown, the pier, the waterfront, the space needle, and any coffee shop you coukd want to go to. A convenient location that is extremely walkable and safe during both the daytime and evening hours. INTERIOR: Tastefully brightly colored. Lobby with an easily accessible and friendly front desk. Elevators are adjacent to the lobby. They have a Fitness facility, a small kitchen area, a small bar area, and very comfortable seating in the lobby. I came during Christmas, and it was wonderfully decorated to include reindeer, a tree, and a surprise. Find the elf every night and win a complimentary gift. I won the last night I was here and was extremely thrilled with the cup, hot chocolate, cake pop, and complimentary beverage coupons. This is an encouraging environment in which to have fun with an air hockey table, multiple board games, puzzles, and a Pac-Man video game old school. And yes, I did observe several people over my 4-day stay that did partake in the fun and games. It was a very relaxed environment. PARKING: There are three options for parking. You can use the underground parking which is secure and very convenient. You can park on the outdoor top deck, which I did as well. Or you can choose street parking which I do not advise. Parking is at this time of the review $42 a night. It is well worth it. There is no valet option, but you really don 't need it. There is a covered overhang that is more than adequate for four vehicles in case it should be inclement weather by your arrival or departure. When you depart, please keep in mind that it is a left turn only. You are pulling onto a one-way street. LODGING: Upon arrival you receive a spacious room with a queen size bed or two double beds and option of one bathtub or a shower and an air conditioning unit and usually a view of either the city or the monorail. I chose the city and was very pleasantly surprised the rooms were quiet. I did run the air conditioner fan just for white noise and slept like a baby. There is a small chair with an ottoman in the room as well as a very large screen TV and a huge desk. The room was extremely clean. I did not find the usual dust bunnies or hair anywhere within the room or bathroom. COMPLIMENTARY: You receive unlimited free bottled water coffee. In addition, they have complimentary pineapple infused water, which was quite tasty. They do have additional beverages and snacks for purchase. They offer complimentary umbrellas for use on those inclement weather days. They are colorful and large, making it easier for your visibility. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Outstanding. I dont say that lightly, I measure this based upon my previous stays at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, Beverly Hills Hotel, Intercontinental, Four Seasons, and Fairmont Brands to mention a few. Service with the front desk was professional, personalized knowledgeable about the area. While checking you in, they treat you as if they are a concierge. You don 't feel rushed. They answer any and all questions you have and make you feel very welcome. They have an Everything button on your telephone that was answered by the third ring . . . Every time. CONCLUSION: Will I be back? The question is, WHEN will I be back.

My wife carefully researched a good place to stay for three days while we were in Seattle, prior to going on a cruise. After checking availability, we picked Staypineapple. It was a good move as this was a fun place to be. We wanted a centrally located spot and this really worked well. We were in between Pike 's Market, The Needle, Chihuly Glass Museum and other local spots like the Starbucks Roastery. The room was a comfortable size with one huge window. A good size bathroom and shower with nice hot water and good size towels. I really liked the idea of free water that is kept in the refrigerator in the lobby and everyone gets a coupon for one free alcoholic or other type of beverage. They definitely do it right here. All these good things and a reasonable room rate. The beds were comfortable but... I prefer a thinner blanket. It 's really a good quality bed and bedding just not what I was used to. Not a horrible problem. Room was clean and team was fabulous helping us get around while also making suggestions for local eateries. We had a short walk to the dock to catch our cruise. We expected a 20 30 minute walk but it was actually 10 minutes and that was also while dragging luggage. This is a great spot and I happily recommend this place if your coming into Seattle. Kudos to the team at Staypineapple Hotel FIVE Downtown Seattle

What a fun hotel in Seattle. The theme of pineapple threw me off IYKYK. Our room was clean and cute with pineapple robes, cups, toilet pater and USB port. There is a stuffed Dash dog on the bed that can be your for $35. The bath towels are bigger then most hotels. The only think I didn 't like was the shower head leaks into the shampoo so it 's watered down. They have pineapple sugar cookies set out at 4 daily along with pineapple water. At check-in you get a coaster to redeem for a free drink. They have many games in the lobby like shuffleboard, scrabble, video games and others. The staff was very nice and they gave unlimited bottles of water in the lobby. Housekeeping is every 3rd day I think but you can get more of whatever you need from the front desk. If your worried about safety don 't. The elevator is accessed through keycard.
