Mayflower Park Hotel

I arrived at this hotel with 2 other adult travelers. We originally requested 2 rooms to accomodate 3 of us. One of the rooms was supposed to have a double bed. The day before we were to fly out to Seattle, we received a call and their representative said that they were unable to get us a room with a double bed. They told us that they would be able to provide us with a wheel-​in bed. We said okay.
When we arrived, they told us that they CANNOT provide a wheel-​in bed for either of our rooms because they are too small. They lied to us over the phone, the day before 3 GROWN ADULTS were supposed to spend 4 nights in a hotel, with two of us having to share a queen-​sized bed in what was possibly the smallest hotel room I have ever seen. After spending one uncomfortable night sharing a queen-​sized bed with my coworker (we are good friends, but still — adults traveling for business SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SHARE A QUEEN-​SIZED BED), we complained to the front desk. They told us that they were fully booked and that they would not be able to move us into a larger room or to comp our stay. Maybe they saw how pissed we were (or maybe they lied to us again at first but changed their mind), but they finally relinquished and let us move into a larger «deluxe» room in which we were able to get a wheel-​in twin-​sized bed. They did, however, charge us $ 20 extra per night WITHOUT TELLING US. I only found out when I arrived back home and looked at our bill.
In addition to the lack of transparency in the room booking process and their poor handling of our request for a room change, the accommodations themselves weren’t too impressive. The hotel is clearly «historic,» which is a euphemism for OLD. The room triggered my roommate’s allergies. I don’t even know why we picked this hotel in the first place when there were so many other choices in the area.
Never again.

Was in town for 2 nights. Great location, excellent staff, friendly bar, we just had a great time!

The Mayflower Park Hotel was GREAT! The staff was fantastic and very helpful, they did not seem to be bothered by any of the questions I asked them.
They were very friendly and helped give me some excellent advice on where to eat since I had never been to Seattle.
They also gave me a free drink at the bar since it was my first time there, the bartender made excellent drinks and was very friendly to speak with.
I really enjoyed the room, it was very large, had nice views and was kept clean to very high standards. The hallways were clean and well maintained.
I highly recommend staying at this hotel if you want to be right in downtown Seattle.

Very friendly staff. Helpful and pleasant. The hotel is a bit dated, but I think that is part of its appeal to most. Would be nice if they had mini fridges in the rooms and better linens. All around decent.

This hotel was built in 1927 and has still kept the charm and elegance of that period. It’s smaller and almost in the boutique category. It’s also listed as one of the Historic Small Inns of the World. It’s location is convenient to shopping, restaurants, entertainment venues including the Fifth Avenue and A.C.T Theater and is within walking distance of Benaroya Hall.
The room we had was quite spacious and the bathroom and dressing area had obviously been retrofitted. Like most older hotels, the bathroom itself was small with a pedestal sink so it was a bit of a challenge to accommodate the usual toiletries and medications that one takes on a trip. But otherwise the shower/​tub was sufficient and the dressing area had cabinets, closet, and drawers to store clothing. The staff was very helpful in assisting us with addresses, directions to venues and basically how to get around the area. We also discovered that the Mayflower Park is connected from the upper lobby to an attached walkway to the Nordstrom building, monorail and light rail. Very convenient, especially during inclement weather!
The other pluses of this hotel are the two restaurants that are attached. Andaluca serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is Spanish and it is excellent! The other small restaurant/​bar is Oliver’s which opens later and mostly serves light fare and cocktails — -and on Sundays it’s open for lunch. It’s a great option for those wanting just a sandwich or a small plate meal and/​or a professionally made cocktail!
I might add that a small maintenance issue came up while we were here. A tableside lamp malfunctioned when the light was switched on. My husband went down to the front desk and reported it. We went out for awhile and when we returned to the room a short time later, we discovered that the lamp had been replaced!
I would highly recommend the Mayflower Park as a place to stay on a visit to Seattle. For a small hotel it really offers a lot of amenities as well as good customer service!

Great hotel, great service, and very close to all the attractions, but the main issue I have with this hotel is that the WiFi keeps going off and on. I can barely watch YouTube or Netflix. I tried calling customer service, they said they will call later on on what to do, but they didn’t call back.

I think the hotel did not train the staff well, at the middle of the night, they knocked the door really loud and we thought some drunker knocked the wrong door. He did not talked to me with respect, it’s more like face to face warning. They said they receive an call regard with noise issue but it turned out my friends and I were only having an conversation together. I felt pretty offended. First, please did not knock someone’s door at the middle of night for three times. That was really rude. Second, please gave someone’s call instead of just went to someone’s room. we paid the room and deserved an space for relax and talk. Third, we were not high school students. we are civil people who could communicate, and negotiate with u guys .Do not talk to us like we did something wrong ;and actually we felt really surprised that we got complains because we basically just talk to each other. I am glad that i am leaving tomorrow. Forth, please figured it out the real issue instead of accepted some stupid people complains and came to our room. (Btw, the housekeeping put the things like the towel and bed in random order because we did not tip her/​he today) please avoid this hotel if you do not want be scared at the middle of the night.

Actually, i was totally satisfied with the front door people and the entire decoration of the hotel .Our bedroom located at the 12 floor of the hotel. We have two bathrooms instead of one. But tonight, i think the hotel did not train the staff well, at the middle of the night, they knocked door really loud and we thought some drunker knocked the wrong door. They said they received an call regard with noise issue but it turns out my friends and I are only having an conversation together. I felt pretty offended. First, please do not knock someone’s door at the middle of night three times. Thats really rude. Second, please give someone’s call instead of just go to someone’s room. we paid the room and deserved an space for relax and talk.

I was interrupt by someone just knocking our door and let us keep the noise down at 1:24a.m. We are talking NORMALLY and did not even turn on TV and was complained about making noises. It is your business to upgrade your sound insulation. So disappointted with it and just make my day down！

The staff just knock out door at the midnight saying that we are noisy which is so offensive. We didn’t even TURN ON THE TV. Just talking NORMALLY.

Beautiful and classy grande dame of a hotel. Has a wonderful, old school feel to it while still being upscale, modern and comfortable.
Very clean, beds were comfortable. Close enough to easily walk to Pike’s and lots of good restaurants very close by. Great location for a first time trip to Seattle.
Parking however was VERY expensive.

I would stay here again with excellent location, rates, room service that exceeded expectations and helpful front desk. Steve the valet guy was very helpful! We will be back soon.

Just checked in and luggage stand broke and suitcase and everything fell on my husbands foot. Not a great start to our stay. Looks like it was already broken prior. We only have a carry on sized luggage.

This hotel was a great price and a great find in an expensive city. They were super accommodating to my need to have a mini fridge since I am pumping so I could store milk for my 9 month old.
It is perfectly located and the water is super hot. I enjoyed a bath. Oliver lounge has amazing cocktails and free food at happy hour. The parking is reasonable and they will hold your bags for you and allow you to be parked until 11 pm on the day you check out.
Overall I would love to stay here again!

I had booked ahead of time through a 3^rd party and paid $ 377+ with taxes. That was okay because we wanted to stay near pikes place market. We had planned a trip on our motorcycle and thought being down town near the market, space needle and Chihuly exhibit would be advantageous so we could park the bike and walk to the different places we wanted to see.
From the minute we arrived it was clear that we were not the sort of clientele they wanted. Even though we are hard working affluent people in our community. They told us we should not park (our own bike) next door in the garage that was adjacent to the hotel. It would be $ 29. There garage was several blocks away and we could park there. We unloaded our few bags and the bell man brought the bags inside and left them unattended by the door. I checked in while my husband searched for the parking garage.
They were less than helpful at the check in desk, only answering questions that I asked with brief answers. She had me right down ALL the names in my party so they would know who was going to be in each room. I had paid for 2 rooms, the one I had paid for for my daughter was never even used since she was delayed in Gig Harbor and did not make it to Seattle. So yes I ended up paying $ 755 in total for 1 night and they looked down their noses at me. After checking in we went and retrieved our bags from the floor by the door while the bellmen watched us.
Our room was old but ok, you could tell they had tried to update with paint and window treatments. The bathroom was so small that your shoulder hit the toilet paper roll when you sat on the toilet. The tv remote only worked intermittently as well as the spotty wifi. The view was of the surrounding buildings, which had largely interesting architecture. The bed was adequate.
At check out I told the desk lady we did not use the other room, which naturally was on me, and we needed to pay our room service and $ 3 bottled water bill. She handed me the bill to sign and never mentioned the $ 35 parking fee for the night. Just sign and move on miss.
In summary, I have paid half as much and have enjoyed more helpful staff in numerous other places. I would never return here and would not recommend this hotel to anyone I know. There are many other hotels to stay in in Seattle. Do yourself a favor and stay in one of the other fine hotels in the area.

Great price for an upscale location and historic hotel, plus free wifi. Being historic, it may not have all the bells and whistles of an ultra modern hotel, but rooms are spacious, comfortable, and updated. The location is great, as it is blocks from Pike place, the convention center, and around the corner from the monorail and transit that takes you to and from the airport. They delivered free newspapers to our door every morning, had bathrobes in the room for us, and even have a hotel flyer updated with events.

My beautiful bride and I were very excited to have our ceremony and reception at the Mayflower Park. Throughout the process Andrew answered all of our questions in a timely manner and helped us stay on track for the months /​weeks /​days before the event. His experience and suggestions were invaluable.
The day of the event started out stressful but the hotel staff went above and beyond to ensure everything went perfectly (the statement goes for everyone working the hotel that day, valet, bell desk, front desk, Oliver’s staff) and did an even better job at keeping me at ease. Dante and the staff anticipated our every need and herded the wedding party to each location seamlessly (lining up for the procession, getting us from point A-​Z etc.).
We had the ceremony in the banquet room and the reception was in the fireside room. When we initially met with Andrew, we had a basic idea of what we wanted for the ceremony (candelabras, lighting, flower placement, etc.). All the little details that we asked for and ones that we did not think of were addressed perfectly. All of the flowers and candles from the ceremony were moved to the reception and arranged effectively around the room.
The Fireside room has two medium rooms adjacent to it. We used one room for the dance floor (hotel provided) and the other was for a more relaxed feel. The hotel has a stereo system that was setup to play in all three rooms variable sound output.
We opted to do heavy appetizers rather than a sit down meal. This allowed us to use the space more effectively. The catering will not disappoint! We had a large variety of options ranging from cheese plates to salmon to NY strip sliders. The devilled eggs, steak sliders and the mini grilled cheese with tomato jam were a favorite among the guests!
Transportation options for the venue couldn’t be any sweeter. The Link, Monorail and Metro are within a block from the hotel. The hotel provides free valet for your guests the day of the event. They also do room blocking for out of towners.

The Mayflower Park is conveniently located next to Westlake Center, which has shopping and a $ 2.75 train to SeaTac. The hotel was built in 1927 and although it does not have a waterfront view, it’s only a few blocks away and is centrally located to shopping, restaurants, and Pike Place Market.
Rooms are nice and are remodeled. I liked that you could open the window enough to get the exterior breeze. Outside of the restaurant, Andaluca which was great for breakfast, I didn’t use the amenities. Parking is spendy @ $ 35/​night.
The Mayflower Park did make a billing error but David at the front desk provided excellent service via phone in correcting this.
I’d definitely stay here again.

Sadly, disappointed with my last stay at the Mayflower. I’ve stayed here three times prior, and have always LOVED this small boutique hotel (especially when it used to have Aveda products back in the mid 2000’s). Unfortunately, my last experience was a huge disappointment and I don’t need to stay here again — will look for more cool, hip places.
First, the area is in a nice centralized location that is easily within walking distance of Pike’s Market, the Sky Tower, and the convention center. That said, the hotel rooms are generally VERY small. I was willing to put up with this in my last few stays as I loved the ambiance, but management must have seriously changed.
They changed the toiletries to bulk style (e.g., pump action out of an attached plastic bottle to the wall). While I typically like this for the eco-​friendly approach, the pumps were designed to save on dispensing — you literally had to dispense the pump 10 – 15 times to get enough soap or shampoo to lather up. A previous review stated that the lotion splashed out at a weird angle — and she was right. One squirt of the lotion and it ended up on my left breast. For real.
Next, the front desk staff. I was there for a meeting (which was in the conference room down in the basement), and wasn’t able to check in early despite request. John, the front desk manager was a jerk on the phone, and IMO, had terrible customer service that made me feel invalued. Once I eventually checked into my room at 6 pm (having had to wait all day), my room reeked of smoke. I called to ask for a candle or air freshener, and house cleaning came in and sprayed it with Febreeze (doesn’t cut it). When I came back several hours later after dinner, my room STILL reeked of smoke; I immediately asked to change rooms, despite having unpacked everything.
The good thing — nice bar, great bloody Mary’s, and great wait staff in the bar.
Overall, the experience, hassle (of changing rooms), and poor customer service has turned this once-​LOVER-​of-​Mayflower against it. Wouldn’t stay here again.

For anyone visiting a town or city for the first time, you want to be around somewhere you remember, and friendly faces. Mayflower Park Hotel had it in spades.
Booking our trip on Orbitz, I noticed all the 4 and 5-​star reviews for this hotel. Plus it touted being very convenient for downtown Seattle for tourists and first time visitors. Works for me!
It was so much easier to get to this hotel than you know! It literally is a hop, skip, and a jump from the SeaTac Airport. Mayflower even includes instructions on their website of how to commute from the Light Link Rail at the airport to the hotel. The Mayflower is literally right outside the front doors of the Light Link Rail. It is no more than half a block away which makes it real easy. We didn’t have to rent a car, taking the Light Link Rail from the airport straight to our hotel saved us time, hassle, and money! What a blessing. After a 35 minute trip on the rail we were at their front door.
The Mayflower is definitely a historic hotel and it shows. The décor and everything screams old school charm. Your Lolo and Lola would have loved this kind of place, and I can imagine a fellow like Howard Hughes drinking a whiskey in the lobby bar. It has been recently renovated but luckily it’s kept all of the charm. The lobby staff was very friendly at check in, asking us if this is our first time staying at the Mayflower, and since we were tourists if we would like a complimentary map. Staff even gave us clear and easy directions on how to get to Pike Place Market in a snap (it was literally a 5 minute walk from the hotel). Liking it already.
Our room was high up on the 14^th floor, and we were given a nice room with a view. Now, the room is on the small side, and there’s nothing too fancy about it, but the history of it all was evident. We did have a flat screen TV, a comfy chair, and a nice warm, clean bed to come back to every night. One plus, our room had a TON of sockets for plugging in your charger, the iron, whatever. There is no fridge with the room, but a phone call to housekeeping will get you a dorm sized one in a jiffy. Don’t forget to tip!
My only complaint (if it really is one) of our room was the tiny bathroom. I’m a big guy and naturally I like big bathrooms where I can spread out. But the bathroom at Mayflower? Tiny! Seems like it’s meant for folks a foot shorter than I am! Our toilet was literally so close to the wall I couldn’t make my famous ‘Thinking Man’ pose when I’m sitting on the loo! I really couldn’t open my legs more than an inch or two. Plus, the toilet seat itself is not the extended seat type. Bit on the standard size. The shower? The shower head was so low at it’s highest point it was hitting me in my neck! Ha Ha Ha. But even with these minor annoyances the bathroom was clean, and the era charm of the hotel as a whole kept me smitten.
Another plus? The Mayflower is directly connected to the Westlake Center (a shopping center of sorts), which had easy access to a food court, and the monorail that goes directly to the Space Needle! It was so convenient for us, I couldn’t be more grateful. It took a load of pressure off us being first time visitors to Seattle and all. All we had to do to make our touristy run to the Space Needle was go down to the hotel lobby, go up a flight of stairs, make a right, make a left, then make one more right to go up the Westlake Center escalator to reach the monorail. Kudos for this.
For the wifey and I, this was the best possible place for us to stay on our first trip to Seattle. Easy Light Link Rail ride from SeaTac Airport to downtown, short walk to the hotel, short walk from the hotel to attractions like the Pike Place Market, and super convenient access to the monorail to the Space Needle. Nicely appointed rooms, great price. What more could a tourist ask for? Mayflower Park Hotel… I will be visiting again soon!

Wir haben zum unserem Start unserer Reise nach Alaska und Kanada einen Stopp in Seattle gemacht und hatten das Mayflower Park Hotel gewählt. Wir haben es nicht gereut. Das Hotel hat ein wunderbares Flair und guten Service, liegt zentral. Etwas mehr unter
