Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown
What is your Priority Club status?
Spire
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Standard award rate pre-assigned to a suite
How are the rooms?
Overall nice, though couch not all that comfortable.
Almost no outside noise or light, bed and bathroom were fine.
Coffee setup and refrigerator, no microwave
How is the exec. lounge?
There had been one last I stayed here a few years back. However, when I asked about access, clerk responded "There hasn't been one since I've been here" seeming surprised to learn one previously existed.
Amenity choice: Points, drink(s) at bar, or full breakfast in restaurant.
What was good and what was bad?
Good: Elite recognition, bar and restaurant staff very attentive (18% service charge might be a factor), central location. Great happy hour prices!
Bad: mediocre breakfast, would do points and in-room coffee if I return. (Flatbread and beer evening before had been great)
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
35K + $80 for a suite vs. several hundred dollars cash had I wanted to book it specifically online was a no-brainer!
