Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel Seattle

This was my second stay and I would absolutely stay here again. Huge thank you to Noble at reception who upgraded us to a room with a separate living room area. That extra space made such a difference since my partner and I were staying the full week for work downtown. It gave him a comfortable setup to work remotely with stable WiFi at the desk, and it was nice knowing he could also work from the living room or head down to the attached Bookstore Bar & Café if he wanted a change of space. Meanwhile, I could easily walk to my office each day. The room itself felt really comfortable and thoughtfully designed. The giant windows, almost the length of the entire wall, brought in beautiful natural light during the day and made the space feel open and calm. At night, the blackout curtains were excellent coverage no big gaps. We both slept great. It was also very quiet. I barely heard any noise from adjacent rooms or overhead, which I always appreciate in a city hotel. I used the 24/7 gym a couple of times during the week. It was tidy, clean, and efficiently designed and creative that they separate different types of workout into two different rooms / floors cardio vs. functional. Everything felt well maintained and easy to use. Location wise, it was super convenient. It’s about a 8 minute walk to the Symphony train station, which made getting back to the airport simple on our way out. It was also an easy walk to Pike Place Market, one of the Taylor Shellfish Farms locations, the Chinatown-International District, and many excellent coffee shops. I previously stayed here when my company booked a corporate block for an offsite for a few days. This stay was excellent. It made for a really comfortable home base for a full work week in downtown Seattle.

We had a great stay. The staff was friendly and attentive, check in was super fast. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the noise we experienced during the stay. We had a room with view to the back alley and we were woken up by noise very early in the morning, garbage trucks and such. Also the aircon/heating system seems very outdated. When visiting in February you want your room to be warm. But that would mean that the fan went nuts about once an hour in order to fill the room with a huge amount of warm air and then go silent again…and then go bananas again the following hour. I think a better solution would be ideal.

When I arrived at Alexis I was welcomed by a gentleman Noble at the reception. He was professional in his conduct and confirmed my booking without a hassle. On my way to the room, I observed that the hotel was clean and neat, with beautiful artwork on walls. My room was also clean, neat, and well decorated with artwork. Toilet is flushing and shower has hot water. There was complimentary coffee and water available. The room is spacious and feels like a house or a home.

The hotel is beautiful and everyone is so friendly and helpful! Noble at the front desk made it special and went the extra mile!!

Brandon at the front desk is simply wonderful. Super welcoming and professional. Wish every hotel had someone as kind and helpful. Our room is huge! Spotless and super comfortable. The location is perfect. I would highly recommend this hotel.
