"This quirky 11-story hotel in the heart of Downtown is so animal-friendly that if you don't come with a pet, you can "adopt" a goldfish for the length of your visit."
Fodor's
"Thanks to a massive $5.2-million renovation completed in 2012, the once slightly dated 189-room hotel has sprung back to life with a modern-meets-global look." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Like a moneyed earth mother who trolls Whole Foods for overpriced organics, this 189-room hotel strikes an odd balance between simple elegance and conspicuous glitziness." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"What was once a phone company’s switching center is now a sophisticated hotel. All rooms come with a CD stereo."
Rough Guide
"Luxurious boutique hotel with designer furnishings, plus a striking lobby, gym and elegant suites with CD players and flat-screen TVs – some with jacuzzis, too."
Star Service
"Within walking distance of the waterfront, convention center, Pike Place Market and Seattle Art Museum, this hallmark of Northwest attitude and style is an icon in the city." Full review

Some of the standard rooms are on the small side, so it's best to request one of the larger deluxe rooms.
Gayot
"This hotel is anything but drab. Yellow, red and blue jewel-toned accents dominate in the guest rooms, meeting rooms and lobby."
BlackBook
"Ceiling prints of fish and coral in the lobby, bright strawberry and cream striped wallpaper in the rooms, leopard print robes for taking intentionally bad Facebook photos."
Zagat

There is also a small but well-equipped fitness center, and the hotel offers flexible meeting space, but it’s the thoughtful extras that elevate the stay, including free wine hours, free morning coffee, loaner bikes, and even a goldfish on request.

DK Eyewitness

Michelin Guide
"In a 1918 building in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood, north of downtown, the MarQueen is the meeting place for Old World charm and modern comfort."
Gayot
"Located in a historic 1918 building that once served as the Seattle Engineering School, it has a traditional ambience that suits its surroundings."

Not For Tourists
"Shabby-chic vintage at a decent price."
Frommer's
"Each room is a really small apartment with separate kitchenette and a small living area separated from the sleeping area. The furnishings are comfortable period reproductions." Full review
