Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"This is a very high traffic hotel. It was a beautiful spot, very clean, nice rooms and gorgeous views. Perfect for our family. We had some difficulty with staff and check-in with a family member with special needs. The hotel did get it figured out AND made the accommodations excellent. We were VERY happy."
