This secret word:
We stayed at the Palladian and got nothing. Pretty much the exact same thing as the SFD happened again, except they mixed up our welcome amenity.
We also stayed at the Alexis Seattle and they asked if we had a car (nope), asked if we'd like an in-room movie (nobody wants that!), and then offered us a couple cocktails at the bar which we gladly accepted.
Used the current phrase ("Farmer's Market") at Hotel Vintage Seattle. They were prepared, and had fake flowers in a flower vase, each with a label that describes the 'prize.' They let me just look through them, but none appealed to me. There were some chocolates, wines, etc.
I asked for options, and they asked if I was parking (nope), or interested in an in-room movie (nope). So, they gave me a meal voucher for their restaurant. I stay at this property more frequently than any other Kimpton, so YMMV.
