Let's get one thing out of the way - the W Seattle has some dated aesthetics, especially in the bathrooms. However, as long as you aren't expecting style, this is still a good property, IMO. Here are some pros, cons, and photos:

Pros:

• Upgraded to a Spectacular Double room on the 24th floor - the hotel was fully sold out online, and at 9 AM, I was given the option to take a Corner King with no view or a Spectacular Double with a south-facing view - the agent apologized for the lack of options and seemed genuine
• From a furniture perspective, the Double room was well appointed with a comfortable and long lounger by the window
• The beds were fantastically fluffy with some sort of cloud-like mattress pad and very fluffy pillows - covers were right in the middle between thick and thin
• Shower pressure was quite nice
• No issue with 4 PM late checkout
• Beautiful view - one of the highlights was seeing Mt. Rainier finally appear just as I was getting ready to checkout (I paused and sat down to enjoy the view for 5 more minutes)
• Breakfast at Trace Market was quite delicious - wonderful cinnamon roll served out of a fresh cast-iron skillet (everyone was buying one), tasty and large vanilla latte made by a manager-looking type in a full suit, and tasty deconstructed chicken biscuit with fried egg and yummy gravy

Cons:

• No Internet TV OS
• Very dated bathroom that does not look like a W at all - it's functional, but just doesn't match the design direction of the brand
• Breakfast prices at Trace Market have obviously increased since the last review - the $40 credit for 2 is really only useful for a real breakfast for 1 (most entrees were $16-$18, and my selections came out to about $37 after the included 15% service charge)
