The Alexis is quite the happy find!! I was impressed with the pictures of the hotel on online travel website site, but being there was even better. The charm of the hotel is apparent once you set foot inside. Very well appointed, not overdone & very comforting to say the least. The room I had was a corner view with 3 windows & it was a real treat to stay there & it was clean & always made up when I left for the day.
The hotel is very well located downtown & I walked everywhere from there. Pikes place is an easy stroll as well as shopping & great restaurants are all near it, including the one in the hotel itself (great breakfast!).
I would definitely stay here again & have already passed on a reference for a friend travelling to Seattle soon. The staff was quite courteous & attentive as well!
quality hotel!

We stayed 2 nights here with our 3 kids. It's close to Elliot's Bay, the aquarium, and pike's market. We loved staying here!!!

Very nice hotel, especially after $10M renovation completed in late 2007. The woman who initially checked me in was not friendly at all and barely made eye contact as she told me the room was not ready (it was 2:30pm, check-in time is 3pm). After waiting for about 45 minutes I checked again with the reception desk, and this time the woman who helped me was very nice and accomodating; she found me a comparable room so that I did not have to wait any longer. The room (#436) was large, with a limited water view, and hip but comfortable decor. The only drawback was the tub, which seemed like it was not touched by the renovation. Otherwise the room, furniture, and rest of hotel was spotless and beautiful.
Wasn't Worth the Money

I chose this hotel largely because it was the cheapest available for this weekend. For $ I think I could have had better. When I arrived at 4 PM, you would think the room would be ready,not so. They told me it was still being "inspected" and would take a few more minutes. After about 20 minutes, they still weren't ready for me and I left my things and came back later. When I returned, the room was ready and don't get me wrong, it was a nice room and the bed was pretty good, but it wasn't worth the $ I paid. Internet in the business center was $ for 15 minutes and there was a snack and drinks tray in the room. You better look over the price list before you open anything. I was advised of a complementary wine tasting I could participate in and I don't know if they do that every night, but it's cheaper than taking anything in the room. Bottom line, they nickel and dime you and weren't even ready for me when I arrived. Not worth $.

We were housed in a room facing the alley. The alley seems to be a major connector for the fire engines and the garbage trucks so be prepared for lots of noise and little sleep. The room was nice but smaller than expected. The staff was great!
