Concierge "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."
Zagat4.5
"Guest are "blown away by the red carpet treatment" at this "beautiful" Downtown boutique with "character to spare"."

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.

Star Service "In the financial district, near shopping and entertainment, this hotel has been rehabilitated and repositioned for a new generation of travelers." Full review
Gayot "These discreet lodgings offer loads of character in the heart of the city."
Travel + Leisure "Many of the upper-floor hotel rooms have excellent views of Elliott Bay; all have electric interiors—think electric pink accents and geometric prints." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Sleek and modern; it takes advantage of its heart-of-the-city location with an urban vibe that runs through its lobby, and 319 guest rooms." Full review
Fodor's "With a hip vibe and signature design motifs updated yearly by a different local designer, this stylish urban property has a boutique feel despite its large size." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Atmosphere at Motif is heavily inspired by Seattle's vibrant music and arts scene. The downtown hotel has a chic rooftop lounge, and its restaurant, Frolik Kitchen + Cocktails, is not to be missed."
