Fodor's Expert Review Motif Seattle
1415 5th Ave., Seattle, Washington, 98101, USA
With a colorful vibe and eye-catching design motifs throughout, this conveniently located urban property owned by Hyatt has a boutique feel despite its large size. Basic guest rooms are sleek and comfortable, while premium upper-floor rooms include expansive views of the waterfront and the Olympic Mountains. Motif's restaurant, Frolik Kitchen + Cocktails, has a kid-friendly hangout with couches and video game consoles, but the biggest draw might be Frolik's 4,000-square-foot outdoor terrace, which features fireplaces, views of the city skyline, ping pong and shuffleboard, and a happening nightlife scene with DJs on weekends.
PROS
- in the heart of Downtown
- water-and-mountain views in some upper-floor rooms
- several cool communal spaces
CONS
- rooms near terrace can be loud
- small bathrooms
- service can be slow and mediocre
