We stayed here 3 nights in December in a King sound view room. The most important thing to us was that it was QUIET – not a lot of street noise. I have stayed downtown Seattle before and it was extremely loud from the sirens and general street noise. Not the case in the room we had at the Red Lion. Our room was pleasant, clean and sufficiently roomy. The color pallet was not so pleasant. They choose such dark wood colors that the room felt a bit like a cave. Given that the daylight wasn’t very long, it would have been nice to have a brighter room – made it feel like perpetual night. That being said – the room’s color was about my only complaint! The bed was extremely comfortable, and I mean truly comfortable. Since this hotel is perfectly located downtown, it made it perfect for us to walk to Top Pot doughnuts (for foodies), walk to Pike’s Place Market and Westgate Center, ride the monorail to Seattle Center, and metro buses everywhere and you are in the ride free zone. We didn’t have to take the car out of the garage the whole trip. Beware of the garage fees which are an extra $30 per night for parking!
