My wife, 9 yo daughter and I recently spent four nights. We were in Seattle to combine business and a spring-break vacation. I would readily recommend the Homewood Suites for families for families with needs similar to ours for the following reasons:
1. Staff was remarkably helpful and friendly. Special mention to Sofiana who arranged the breakfasts and evening meals and really made us feel welcome.
2. Cleanliness. The hotel was clean and looked nice. This is not a "glamour" hotel and some of the furnishings are worn, so the attention to cleaning detail is appreciated.
3. Location. Getting to the center of downtown for a business was easy. I took a cab because I didn't want to hassle with the bus or walk in the rain, it was six bucks and i walked back to the motel when i was done. All the other stuff that a 9 yo is interested in (Space Needle, Science Center, Aquarium, EMP) is an easy walk.
4. The Welcome Home meal was a nice surprise. I like a good restaurant as much as the next fat guy but it was so convenient to have a warm meal in the hotel and it probably saved us $100.00 bucks over the whole trip.
So, bottom line, you go to the Four Seasons for one purpose and you stay at the Homewood Suites for another. If you are visiting with your family for a few days and want the convenience of a full kitchen, clean hotel, good location and warm meals then Homewood can't be beat.
