Regal Cinemas Meridian 16

This was the dirtiest, overpriced movie experience I have ever had! I’ve been to dollar theaters in both Arizona and Arkansas that are cleaner than this theater. It needs to be hosed down, with a fire hose! Additionally, the seats were super uncomfortable and didn’t recline, and the screen was small yet we were seeing Hunger Games on opening weekend.
Parking is expensive downtown, so that is the first negative. I wish they had a validation garage for movie goers. Next was the movie ticket prices– ouch. Then the food and beverage prices– even more ouch! I think for 3 entrances, 2 popcorns, two drinks and a snack, we paid $ 80+. We wanted some popcorn toppings (as other theaters have for free), but they charge $ 1.50 for flavors. Lame.
Now, I know movies nowadays are expensive. However, I do not want my shoes to be sticking to the floor as I walk into the theater. I pay a lot, expecting that the theater at least maintains the slightest bit of cleanliness. Not here. Also, as other have said, the bathrooms are on a different level, so you have to go up a (dirty) staircase to get to them.
And lastly, my husband got some mini corn dogs, and it took almost 15 minutes for them to make them (all cashiers apparently share one microwave oven cooker). They first said 5 minutes, which was fine because we had about 10 minutes before the movie started. I walked in literally as the movie was starting, thanks to those stupid corn dogs. And they weren’t even good.

This place is not that great. Staff are not really that friendly, the theaters aren’t that impressive. The odd thing is the location of the bathrooms. Is there only one, and which staircase are you supposed to use to get to it? Talk about an inconvenience in the middle of a movie when you need to use the restroom. It will take you ten minutes to find it! There are better theaters.

I went to go watch Star Wars with my friends here for the first time. 2 stars for our experience of watching the film together. The seats here however were terrible, the theater seemed very old for it being downtown of all places. I’d imagine it would be well maintained. I would much rather go to a theater that has those reclinable chairs. It would have been way better, especially watching Star Wars.

Two stars. Doesn’t that say it all?
A movie is a movie… But when you pay a lot to go out you want a decent place. This has dirty uncomfortable seats. Gross food (had a pretzel and Diet Coke neither of which were good). And the screen seemed small.
But they had the movie and time we wanted so I guess I can’t complain too much.

This theater is so OLD!!! The floors in the theater rooms are so sticky. The seats are not stadium seating ! Of course I had tall people sit in front of me. Wow the experience for the movies is terrible. They need to knock this down and rebuild.

I love movies, went in to see the newer version of money dick. There’s a few floors to get to your movie room but having the availability for elevators and escalators made it fun to see the upper view of the corner of seattle. This one is located across the street from Cheesecake Factory and next door neighbor game works. I do feel that the selection for condiments were not too variety packed and when I was there, (being a popcorn lover) I didn’t smell the fresh popcorn going. The chairs were ok. The arm rest does not let you lift it up for better cuddling with your partner and the screen to me was a bit smaller than usual.
If you can find parking in seattle good luck. We parked at the pacific place and so there was walking involved to get to the movies.

No stadium seating at this Regal? Seems a little out dated. Parking sucks and they don’t provide validation to help reduce the cost.

This place is OLD and it sure looks like it. I come here when the other theaters in the area doesn’t have a movie playing or if the time is just right. Would I say its my #1 choice? NOPE. the concessions are meh and service is meh. Too bad this place will most likely be torn down in the next couple of years for some new buildings.

Price: $ 12 matinée vs. Pacific Place $ 7 before noon. Other prices were a bit higher as well including concessions.
Seats: Need attention — some theatres are not sloped/​stadium seating and all seas are starting to get worn out to the point of being uncomfortable — can feel the springs in quite a few.
Screens/​projection: Seems OK, but not great. Many of the theatres are REALLY small so it pays to ask which size theatre the showing is in and switch to a different time if you want a more immersive move experience.

10÷15÷15: took the kiddies to watch Pan as the weather was nice on Thursday. Nice theater with great movies located in the heart of downtown Seattle. Not all floors have concessions, so make sure you know where you are going and where you can get a drink.
Auditorium #1 was clean and comfortable with no trash on the floor or sticky residue. I also like my cup holder in front of me instead of taking up space on my armrest. Good sound and visuals!
Bottom line. I’ve been to more upscale theaters with all the bells and whistles, but I appeciate the fact that they got the basics right: Courteous staff and a clean, comfortable theater.
TIPS:
*Leaving the theater. Throw Away Your Stuff: If you bought concessions prior to seeing the movie, or heaven forbid, you snuck a few snacks in, please take the few seconds to throw these items away upon exiting the theater. Have been with people who have popcorn and soda and when we leave, they leave their containers. I’ve asked them why they don’t just throw it out themselves and they respond with «Because that’s what the people who clean the theaters are supposed to do. I’m making sure they have a job.» I was not happy with that response and threw out the stuff myself. I just don’t understand why people find it so hard to throw away a paper bag and cup.
*Check your belongings before you leave the theater. I don’t understand how people leave their phones, car keys, and even wallets at the theater.
*The only foods I trust are the popcorn, drinks, and boxed candy. I wouldn’€™t eat the pretzels, hot dogs, or nachos.
*Get ready to open your purse or backpack for a security check.
Regal Cinemas begins checking bags at entry after theater shootings.
*Story highlights*

The man, identified as Vincente David Montaño, 29, of Nashville.

Now, I’d rate this probably one-​star if it weren’t for some exceptional customer service I received today. It’s not really the theater itself that I’d want to rate so low, as it’s your everyday major corporation multiplex. Meaning way too salty popcorn, insane prices, and tickets that are at least three hours of work for most Americans. As a city transplant, I still cling to my small town theater with lovingly made concessions and ticket prices from the 80s.
Having said that– Lucy, I believe her name was, provided exceptional customer service when I came in a little banged up. …okay, I’m a klutz and fell and scraped myself pretty well. She went out of her way to find some band aids when I inquired and some individually wrapped alcohol wipes too. To be more of an annoying customer, I had two loyalty cards I had used once every two years or so when my small beloved theater wasn’t playing a movie I had to see. She worked so hard on getting the balance on each and even let me know how to combine the totals so I could get the most of my separate member cards.
Lucy– worked about 5ish on ¹⁰⁄₉ at the cashier, could be wrong on the name– is a true asset! She gets 5 stars, and was enough to make this theater snob rate a Regal 3 stars. That’s saying Something!

Good movie selections and location but the interior structure of the building is really bizarre. It’s extremely hard to get to the bathroom. The bathroom is on floor 2.5. If you’re on level 3, you would think of just walking down a flight of stairs but the place is like a maze, it takes you around then you have to walk upstairs again to find the bathroom. Try not to go to the bathroom during a movie, will def take you at least 5 mins.

Standard theater with pricey snacks and old seats. Its convenient so we’ll keep coming here. Its worth it to get their emails and to join their club for deals and ease of ticket purchasing.

Its not a bad theatre, I come here once in a while to check out a movie that may not be at other theatres. Location is great for me, up the street from my bus line, and the times I’ve been here, it hasnt been super busy.
It’s definitely an older theatre, no stadium seating (in the theatres I’ve been in) seats are a litte uncomfortable, not always the cleanest but whatever just brush it off with your hand. Tri-​Level set up where you buy tickets on the ground floor, go up a set of escalators to 2^nd or 3^rd floor where your theatre is at. Both 2^nd & 3^rd floors have a concession area too. Food options aren’t bad as they have a bit more of a selection than just candy, popcorn & soda. For $ 18 bucks or so, you can get a combo deal with 2 gigantic sodas and a large popcorn bucket. It was so ridiculous in size but absolutely hilarious!
Bathrooms are a bit odd where you have to go down some stairs etc, just follow the signs.
They are now checking bags before you enter the theatre so dont be bringing anything illegal in there. They are doing more walk throughs as well so just accept it as its for everyone’s well being.
Overall, its a pretty decent theatre, staff has always been friendly, so Ill just keep coming back whenever.

Pretty average movie theater, normal seats and normal concessions. I really like the app that helps get you rewards as you come back here and I have been to a number of movies here as a result.
The reason it didn’t get more stars is the concessions are below average. Popcorn tastes like it was made much earlier in the day most of the time and they don’t have the drink and popcorn trays so it’s hard to split popcorn with multiple people.

This theatre is dirty and has uncomfortable seats. The layout is very weird. I got lost trying to find the restrooms because they are on a separate floor. I don’t think I will be coming back. Like another reviewer said, the movie ticket plus parking fee does not justify seeing a movie here. I’d rather take that parking money and use it towards gas to visit a different location.

Regal shows a lot more movies than AMC, which I’m very surprised about. The screens almost always have a tear or something wrong with them. Plus I prefer the more stadium like seating at AMC.
The one thing I Really do like (besides the more expansive movie selection) is that they don’t give you a hassle about bringing in your Starbucks. I don’t drink soda, and I really resent a theater that tries to make you throw out a $ 5.00 coffee. Cheers Regal!

Wow… it was as if I went back in time to the late 1980’s to watch a movie. The movie theater was pretty modern on the outside, but on the inside the theater room itself was pretty much identical to the one that I used to go to back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. It’s about time they remodeled this place and put in new seats. It’s practically standard to have stadium seating these days. The theaters and restrooms are all on multi-​floors so there’s a lot of stairs or escalators that you’ll need to take. I prefer going to the AMC a few blocks over, however they weren’t playing the movie that I wanted to see.

This location of pretty decent and pretty on-​par with Regal’s usual offerings. Lots of screens and lots of concession stands so lines aren’t an issue. The employees are mediocre but non-​offensive. (I’m not sure if that’s the best customer service goal to have for a company but, hey, at least they’re not a deterrent. They’re just not creating any loyal customers, either.) It’s multi-​leveled so be prepared for stairs and escalators. All together, not too shabby.

This place is close home, so I end up here often enough.
Like more and more theaters are starting to do, this Regal site has electronic booths where you can buy tickets. These usually move a faster than the ticket counters.
The concession stand has the usual goodies at the usual high prices, and the cinema seating is comfy enough.
One thing about Regal in general. They have a Regal Card, which allows you to accumulate points towards freebies like soda, pop corn and even movies.
Until recently, you needed to present the card at purchase in order to accumulate points, which, absent-​minded me, I usually left home, resulting in many missed points. But no longer! Regal now has a very decent mobile app, which allows you to accumulate points as long as you have your phone with you.
