Renaissance Seattle Hotel

The hotel is right next to the I-5 highway, so rooms facing the highway can be quite noisy. The rooms are pretty standard, comparable to a 3-star hotel in China, so don't expect too much. Hotels of the same brand usually have a higher rating in China, which is a common phenomenon. Parking was tight; the underground garage was completely full when we returned at night. We had to get permission from the front desk to park in a handicapped spot. It's about a 10-minute walk to Pike Place Market, which is quite convenient. The city is very hilly, like San Francisco, so walking around can be tiring.

The hotel is beautiful and in an exceptional location. One drawback we found is that to connect to the free Wi-Fi, you have to become a Marriott Bonvoy member; otherwise, you have to pay approximately $12 a day. The hotel breakfast costs $29.90 + tax, which is too high a price in our opinion.
