We spent two night at the Sorrento after arriving in Seattle via Amtrak's Empire Builder from Chicago. Our arrival was mid morning and the person at Reception was apologetic that they did not have a room available due to being fully booked the night before. He suggested we take a walk or relax in the Hunt Club while they tried to prepare our room. We chose to take the walk down to harbor and are so glad we did. It is only a 15 minute easy walk to the Pike Place Market.
We came back mid-afternoon and our room was ready. A spacious room with picture windows looking west toward the sound. The Sorrento is an older property, but is well maintained. The bath is beautiful white marble with updated fixtures. Very comfortable bedding and linens. And very quiet. That is probably the best part of the Sorrento - it is in a quiet neighborhood next to a hospital. The bell staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and we were greeted upon arriving or departing every time. In fact, all the staff were friendly and polite consistently.
We did not eat at the hotel because there are too many tempting places nearer to the Sound.
But we slept very comfortably in this hotel and felt welcome and valued as clients.
