We stayed at the Crowne Plaza the last week in June. What a lousy way to end a stay in a beautiful city. The valet wanted us to leave our car unattended on the street in a city that ranks high in stolen vehicles. The front desk was extemely unhelpful, stating that since we booked on Priceline we got a standard room meaning two beds despite having called ahead and requesting a king (not a problem for any other hotel that we had booked through Priceline). Our room was right in front of the elevators and next to the housekeeping closet. The housekeeping staff were talking loud enough at 11:30 P.M that it woke us and then they had the audacity to knock on the door saying "linens" despite the do not disturb sign clearly posted on the door (we had a 900+ mile drive the next day and needed a good nights rest). If I could give less than 1 star I would. Everything costs, internet, the business center. Having stayed at the Sheraton down the street the previous two nights (we had to extend our stay in the city and had to change hotels) it was like night and day. Being a native Seattlelite I expected more from this establishment and was sorely disappointed. We have stayed at numerous 4 and 5 star hotels (Alexis, Inn @ the Market, Edgewater etc.) in the city and this one by far was the least appealing and helpful. And all because it appears that we booked on Priceline. We won't be booking here and possibly will refrain from using Priceline while in Seattle all due to this experience. Thanks Crowne Plaza for your professionalism.... NOT!
Cons: Short staffed, unhelpful front desk
