Lovely spacious rooms with relaxing colour schemes and fascinating bath room with the electric blind to shield me from the office workers. :) What a shock when the column of water descended from the ceiling!
Did not enjoy the food offering in BOKA- very oily winter veg with lovely white fish- yuk. Breakfast was more acceptable with the mini buffet. No bread though only pastries. Don't understand why US hotels do not bother withhealthy eating? I had to be very careful what I chose to avoid nausea nad indigestion . Maybe I am spoiled on this side of the pond?
Considered the spa offering but rooms very pokey so passed on that. Got my nails done at a local salon up the road- VERY reasonable.

Fantastic hotel. Wonderful service.

Plus:
* Great location
* I arrived early, and while my room was not ready, they were very accommodating regarding my desire to change and freshen up.
* I had a corner room, and while other corners would have a view of the water, my room was great. Lots of room, big TV with art/music channels, very very comfortable.
* Very comfortable bed. Prompt room service.
* Nice area for breakfast and drinks
* free high speed internet, wired and wireless.

Cons:
* Parking was pricey
* None that I can think of.

For any business/pleasure downtown, this is a great place to stay. Highly recommended.

We stayed here over the long MLK weekend in January 2008. Everything met our expectations. The staff was professional, friendly, and very helpful. The location made seeing Seattle on foot easy. The room was wonderful (great design and a great bathroom) and had a great view of Elliot Bay and the Olympic Mountains across Puget Sound. We also enjoyed the spa services and Boka restaurant, which was quite excellent. We will definitely stay there again the next time we go to Seattle.

After reading the 5-star reviews and getting a recommendation from a few locals, we checked into the Hotel 1000. We booked one of their bigger suites with 2 flat screen TVs, luxury bath, etc. While the staff was quite friendly and the concierge helpful, my problems were with the lack of basic amenities and cleanliness of the bathrooms.

My first morning at the hotel, I entered the granite shower with 2 showerheads trying to figure out how to turn the 2 faucets on without getting soaked in cold water, for the knobs were at the far end of the shower and there was no way of avoiding the spray. That was the least of my problems because after I recovered from the ice bath, followed by the scorching heat of the hard-to-adjust temperature setting I realized that there is absolutely no water pressure. There was barely any water trickling out of the shower heads which made it impossible to rinse. Second shock? While fiddling with the temperature knob, I pulled off a wad of someone’s hair on my hand. Minutes later I noticed more foreign hair on the shower walls, Gross! After 10 minutes of trying to rinse unsuccessfully, I decided to just rinse my hair in the sink (which became my daily routine for the next 5 days). There is absolutely no water pressure at all.

The next day, I decided to give the soaking tub a try. My first attempt to fill the tub, produced a tub full of dirty sudsy water- apparently they never rinsed it off from the previous guest, so I set out to clean the tub myself. On my 3rd attempt to fill the tub, I noticed that my bath bubbles were gray and dirty.

My next grievance is that for such a large bathroom, they give you only one tiny piece of soap (the size of a silver dollar), which you have to carry from the shower, to the sink, to the tub. After 6 days at this hotel, it was never refilled with a new one. While I admire the city’s commitment to conserving water, a functioning shower and a bar of soap are a must for a decent hotel.
