Kimpton Hotel Monaco Seattle

This hotel is very dark and the carpets need replacing. The whole hotel needs a remodel. A bit dirty and morbid looking. The cleanliness was poor to fair.

This is an updated review after my previous one was removed, because the renovations are done, so keep that in mind when you book. Many negative reviews have been removed. While I understand the hotel's renovations are finished, that doesn't erase the experience my partner and I had during our stay. We were never notified that the hotel was under renovation. Upon arrival, we discovered that all amenities were closed, but we were still charged the full, regular rate. The room we were given was not only poorly updated, but we were also placed in a noisy location right by the elevators, despite the hotel being virtually empty. When we expressed our concerns and asked for a refund to find a better hotel, the staff refused, forcing us to stay and have a truly awful experience. Save yourself the trouble and your money. There are plenty of better options downtown.

We came to Seattle for a wedding and stayed at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco because we've stayed at other Kimpton Monaco's and they've been great. This was no exception. Upon arrival the hotel lobby was in the middle of some sort of remodel, but it wasn't loud, just kind of chaotic. It was resolved within a day or two. We got checked in, the folks were super nice. I got to my room and was not pleased. It was right next to the elevator, facing the main road and you had no idea where the plugs were and it was not awesome. I went downstairs to see if another room was available and they only had one other room available with a king bed (our preference) and not near an elevator. It was on the second floor so I was a little nervous, but we got into the room and it was AMAZING! We were in room 217 and it was huge. It was larger than a few studio apartments I've lived in both in Chicago and New York. The bed was incredibly comfy, the bathroom was clean and spacious. The air conditioner was outstanding. Everyone we encountered from the hotel staff was outstanding. Truly it was a great experience.
