There are 2 things my husband and I love: rock & roll and beer. This hotel provided both in abundance. I love the style of this hotel. It s everything I want from a hotel: funky and modern with nice people running it. I love the colour scheme and the cool art throughout the building, the Seattle Doesn t Settle logo on the wall outside and the big neon Hotel Max sign that comes on at night. It s just our kind of hotel. It's Rock & Roll crossed with Pop Art.

That said, there were people of all ages staying there, so don't be fooled by thinking this is a hotel just for young people. Everyone was very laid back and very cool.

As my husband is a huge Pearl Jam fan we asked to stay on the Sub Pop floor. )As if we need any more rock & roll in our lives !) Even though this was not possible for our whole stay, the team at Hotel Max were more than happy to move us mid-way through our stay and were so accommodating and helpful. I m sure most hotels would just say no.

We loved the FREE beer hour (music to our ears!) in the evening. Such a great idea and a pleasant surprise! As we stayed a week we got to try a vast range of beers. Tip: they re not conservative when it comes to top ups or helping you out with a second round so take advantage!

Also brilliant were the teas & coffees in reception in the morning. Although they had these facilities in the rooms it was another string to their bow and a welcome extra.

Hotel Max gets extra points for the fact that you get rewarded for being green by not having room service every day this is an issue I hold close to my heart and mark most hotels down for. Every hotel should do this!

Last, but not least is how awesome Kevin, the General Manager, was. A lovely guy, who is happy to chat and seems genuinely interested in who you are and what you re about. He is the biggest credit to this hotel. None of the rest stands up without someone decent manning the ship and Kevin is the guy.

My ONLY TINY negative point, in agreement with a few earlier comments, is the lack of suggestions from staff on where to grab a decent breakfast. The breakfast at The Miller s Guild was fantastic, but as we were staying a week, it got a bit tiresome and we wanted to try something different, but the staff didn t seem terribly clued up on other options A little research into the area you work in perhaps ? Just a small thing though!

Would we stay there again? Hell YES!
