“Cool, but not quite right”

Ace Hotel

3 of 5 stars
Washington, DC
Mar 23, 2008
2/3 found this review helpful

Great idea, but not such a great execution. I had a private room with a really cool hidden door to bathroom, but short cuts were clearly taken. Shower not the cleanest, bed not comfortable at all. My room had no access to natural light, but found out at end of stay I could have asked for another room. Would highly suggest rooms with shared baths instead.

Great Hotel thats different but balanced. Nice touches combined with good value, More rock and roll than other hotels, a younger outlook provides a breath of fresh air.

“Simple and cozy”

Ace Hotel

2/2 found this review helpful

This is an excellent hostel-like hotel and very clean, and you can't beat the location for the price in downtown Seattle! We normally drive down for the day and shop around, but this was our first where we got to take it easy and enjoyed walking around the neighbourhood. Lots of good-looking places and a wide variety of choices to eat within blocks.
We stayed in room 111 which was central and faced away from the busy 1st ave (plus the washroom hall across from us) There were at least 3 or 4 private washrooms with shower stalls that you can choose from.
Sundays are free meter parking downtown which worked perfectly for us since we arrived that day, and just had to get up before 8am the next morning to feed the meters.
It was nice to go to the common kitchen area and help myself to some good brewed coffee. I think they offered toast, cereal and fruits, but I went back to the room!
I did notice how comfy the beds were to sleep on - no sore neck or back! And even though i thought the wool blankets were a bit sparse, i was warm!!
We had tasty, hand-crafted pizzas from "Serious Pie" on Virginia and 3rd, and had breakfast at CJ's Eatery, a couple blocks down from the Ace (both recommendations from the staff!)

“Fun Little Hotel in Belltown”

Ace Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Milwaukee, WI
Jan 20, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Ace Hotel in Seattle for just one night, and it was exactly what we needed. We found it to be a modern, chic little hotel with clean accomodations and a friendly staff. The manager, Ed, was great! He watched our bags for us while we explored Belltown, and at one point came running after me to bring me the camera I had left behind. Such courtesy! I'd definitely stay there again.

“Perfect for young travellers.”

Ace Hotel

Jan 16, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

A very nice clean place. Stayed in a room with shared bath for 2 nights. Parking lot is two blocks away from the hotel by daily rate (you need to obtain a parking pass from the hotel). Convenience location and close to bus stop (about 5-10 mins). Take only 10-15 mins bus to Capitol Hill. The only bad things were that there was loud noise at night as our room is facing the street (we stayed there on a Friday and Saturday night). All and all it was a nice stay.
