We stayed at the hotel over the weekend and were very impressed by the staff and very happy with the property and the room. It's nice to stay in a hotel with some character and not the same box feel. The room was in excellent condition and looked freshly painted. We had a large comfortable king bed (though the pillows were a little on the firm side for our liking) and enjoyed having the full kitchenette (even complete with a wine opener ;-). All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

We were on the third floor, directly across from the bar mentioned in previous posts (I had it confused with the piano bar behind the hotel when I checked in and requested our room location). The first night we experienced the same noise referenced in other posts, but the next day I realized that the windows weren't fully latched. Once latched, the noise wasn't nearly as noticeable the second night and we got a good night sleep. We noticed no noise from inside the hotel.

We also had massages with the spa in the hotel and they were very enjoyable as well.

This is a great hotel for someone looking for something off the beaten path. It is very convenient to downtown and there are a number of coffee shops, bars and restaurants in the immediate neighborhood.

My husband and I stayed two nights at the MarQueen Hotel. I found it to be a great hotel. I absolutely loved that it was very old, with tons of character and did not look like a typical hotel room. I found it very quiet, or else no one was in the room above us, as I did not hear any creaking on the wooden floors. Our room was at the back of the hotel, and looked out to another building, which was painted with windows to make it look charming I guess.
We didn't spend a lot of time in our room, as we were out sight seeing most of the time. It is located very close to the Space Needle, Seattle Center and the Monorail.
It wasn't until we were checking out that we found out they provide transportation for the guests (valet parking, the only option, was $20 per day). I guess in that sense the staff wasn't very helpful, and when I wanted to cash a travelers cheque they couldn't help either. Other than that the valet/doorman had the door open for us when he saw us coming up the stairs. The housekeeping staff were very friendly.
We walked a lot, took a Monorail and a bus, so we got around alright.
The weather was great, it didn't rain until the morning we were leaving.
If we ever do go back to Seattle, I would stay here again.

We arrived at the Marqueen in the early hours after we moved from a noisy hotel downtown. The receptionist was very helpful and friendly and his colleague delivered a well earned bottle of wine promptly to the room.

All of our family and friends were already at the hotel as we were there for a wedding. The location was within easy reach of the Space Needle and many bars and restaurants. We welcomed the use of a kitchen and found the 'little extras' which you could purchase from a basket in the room a nice touch. The staff were always courteous and friendly and turn down service was another nice touch.

This place is in a great neighborhood. You can walk and explore and catch the monorail downtown. We had a blast and hope to return again. We highly recommend this hotel for it's location, price, charm, uniqueness and proximity to fun.
