HI - Seattle at the American Hotel

Very happy with card lock entrance system to sleep area generally & then our room also key card lock. Towels being supplied was bonus. Staff were super friendly & helpful. Allowing bag storage when checking out very much appreciated. Only one complaint was noise level past 11pm. We have stayed in many hostels & rate this very high.

Liked the proximity to public transportation, kitchen, clean rooms. But overall it looks dingy, grimey and run-down—-like the rest of Seattle. Also the rooma were SO hot that it was difficult to fall asleep. Those tiny fans next to the beds do nothing.

I telephoned the hostel in Seattle on Thursday before my booking on Wednesday night to cancel the room I had reserved. The receptionist said that she had canceled my reservation. I am very familiar with the American Hotel hostel in Seattle, and have enjoyed my stays there.

I really liked the little fans next to each bed- I haven’t seen that before, but it was so nice to have! Also the reading lights by each bed are great- not all hostels have those. I liked the credit-card operated washers. Nice variety of hang-out spaces. Location near Amtrak- excellent! I think you should let people use the elevator more often, though. Also, not a bad thing, just kind of odd to me- I felt like when I saw the hostel in person, it didn’t look much like how it does on the website.
