Dramatically underwhelmed. My wife and I stayed here for a night because of an issue at our house. We're locals and figured it would be nice to splurge and escape our place where we couldn't use water for 24 hours. Not sure The W exceeded what we would've experienced at home. Our room was smokey. Are people even allowed to smoke in hotel rooms in Washington State anymore? Evidently, yes. Unfortunate for us. Also, as a couple it was disappointing to find we'd been 'upgraded' to a double room on the premium level. That meant we were on a higher floor but down graded, in my opinion, to two small double beds. As a couple this was disappointing. The room was spartan with little appeal. The bathroom door stuck when closing completely requiring a swift jerk to get it open again. Also, the shower/tub drained very slowly so was one of those ankle-deep cesspools when finished showering. All in all I was very disappointed with this stay. I've been at a W many different times both in Seattle and in other cities. This experience was awful enough I truly never plan to stay at this location again. On other cities I'll continue to look for Fairmont properties as I've been consistently pleased with them.
