HI - Seattle at the American Hotel

Location was great, two of the staff I dealt with were friendly the rest left a lot to be desired the guy who checked me in was condescending. I didn't like the wooden lockers not very secure. The lift is locked for housekeeping unless you are moving luggage. Breakfast was good

An edited version of review on Trip Advisor: I called that I might be very late. I am 71, an avid hosteler, a woman traveling with heavy luggage. I walked for half-hour in rain. When I suggested to the receptionists that they give explicit instructions about the location, I got two blank stares, no apologies. Another guest concurred that they gave her no information she needed. The morning guy was more accepting of my 'suggestion' and nice. My 'poor' on service relates ONLY to reception staff.

The rooms are so stuffy, and the neighborhood so loud, it's just very hard to sleep. There was a street fair across the street that was blasting DJ music until midnight. The tiny fans by the bed are cute, but don't do much to move the stagnant air. Four men sleeping in a tiny room just make a lot of heat, and the lack of air flow makes sleeping difficult. If you party hard and/or travel with a large cache of sleeping pills you can probably make it work.
