Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“The Hotel Theodore is a refined 153-room property that reopened in 2017 after a style-minded renovation. In the Art Deco tower that formerly housed the Roosevelt Hotel, guests are now surrounded by Seattle-sourced products, from a collection of local art and artifacts to house-roasted beans in the on-site coffee shop.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Seattle.

Telegraph review:

“This Art Deco skyscraper has undergone a floor-to-ceiling refresh: style-wise, the downtown landmark salutes Seattle’s industrial past, which led to its role as a tech and innovation hub. This luxurious urban escape especially appeals to creatives and entrepreneurs.”

Beautiful stay in an ideal central location.

Wonderful experience. Friendly staff, beautiful space, great location.

Since it’s centrally located downtown, it’s inevitable that there is a lot of street noise.

We had great front desk customer service and our room was beautiful with a water view.

I opened a bottle of water thinking it was complimentary and then realized it was not. Most hotels I've been to give at least a couple of small bottles of free water. My boyfriend's brunch was dissapointing with his eggs benny being over and under cooked, not having much sauce or meat and they forgot my OJ.

Good location for train and sites.

Comfortable king bed. Good size room. Great location for train and sites. Nice lobby.

Bathroom too small: no place to lay out sundries. No dresser drawers. No housekeeping during our stay; check-in didn’t inform of this and nobody asked if we needed towels or supplies.

Well worth the experience especially if you are a walker.

The hotel was most catering to the historic feeling pallet. Featuring a restaurant off the hotel lobby open to the public as well. Morning, coffee and pleasantries were available for the earlier riser.

The parking, it works best to valet. Once down in the parking garage it is a little trek up to the lobby.

Hotel Theodore has comfortable stylish rooms and is close to transit, restaurants, and attractions.

The hotel lounge and restaurant are wonderfully decorated and comfortable space. Location is very convenient to light rail, restaurants, convention center, and rideshare. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Front desk staff are very friendly and helpful.

The room could use a little more lighting beyond bedside table lamps.

Great stay, slightly in excess of competitive rates (parking put it over similar hotels downtown).

Great stay

Booking.com did not show an additional $32.00 cost for the overnight parking garage. We probably would have searched further as the added $32 made the Roosevelt less cost competitive than other similar hotels in Seattle.

An excellent value, great location, wonderful service.

Though we had to pay to park our car, the lot was next to the hotel and was easy to access. We were able to use the monorail to get to the Pacific Center easily and walk easily to Pike's Market.

The room and bathroom were small, but comfortable.

Mixed Impressions: Comfort Meets Frustration

The hotel boasted clean and well-maintained facilities, which made for a comfortable stay. Its location was excellent, providing easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. The rooms were spacious, thoughtfully designed, and offered plenty of room to relax. Additionally, the high-quality water and coffee supplies in the room were a nice touch, enhancing the overall experience. While there were some service issues, the positive aspects of the hotel's infrastructure stood out.

The restaurant was overpriced, and although the car park was right beside the hotel, they insisted on a valet service—just to drive the car 50 feet, which felt unnecessary. There were two elevators, but one was always out of service, oddly rotating which one was broken each day. Both receptionists were cold and seemed unhappy with their work, which left a poor first impression. In my room, I noticed an odd picture: a man cleaning the floor while a woman stood over him with an air of authority. While it may have aimed to challenge stereotypes, it seemed to create a different kind of imbalance. A strange decor choice that left me wondering about the intended message.

Great place to stay in Seattle!

The beds! Yes, the beds are unbelievably comfy. Oh, and the delightful espresso maker makes the best coffee. The hotel is very nostalgic and I recommend wandering around to see all they have to offer. Another key point, this hotel is about a 10-7 minute walk to the Link rail and about 15 minutes from the Monorail which makes it coinvent for seeing an event at any of Seattle's venues.

I appreciate but don't appreciate the fact that this hotel does have parking. I just feel that $60.00+tax is a little too much to pay for parking and it turns out are vehicle wasn't in the enclosed garage.

The ideal spot for a couple visiting Seattle!

Excellent location in the heart of Seattle, in walking distance to many key sights and transport links. Very modern and clean, with spacious comfortable rooms - big beds too! The 24 hour gym and facility are also ideal. Staff were pleasant and helpful too

Fairly expensive in general but relative to its location in the heart of Seattle

Good overall stay. Hotel is very nice and within walking distance to attractions.

Loved the location. Close to the Paramount Theater where our concert was. Lots of restaurants and shopping near by. Hotel was clean and up to date.

I’m from Alaska so I enjoy a cool room. Had a hard time regulating the temperature. The bathroom was very nice but wish there was more counter space. And at least one towel rack or holder next to the sink. I also was disappointed that there was only one chair in the room. If you are traveling by yourself it would have been fine, but having your significant other with you, another chair would have gone a long way in the comfort department. Parking was also very expensive in this area. Expect to pay $35 - $55 a day.
