Sheraton Grand Seattle
5/5 Excellent
"The hotel was convenient to walk to most everything we wanted to see. Easy to get a Lyft or shuttle but would have been nice if the hotel offered transportation options to/from the airport or cruise terminal. Was not happy that I was charged for internet without even realizing it. It said free from Bonvoy members and yet without agreeing to pay for internet, I was charged. Elevators are extremely fast so no need to wait long. "
