What guests think

At Kimpton Hotel Vintage Seattle by IHG, travelers consistently praise the friendly staff, walkable downtown location, and popular evening wine hour, while recurring drawbacks include intermittent elevator problems, a very small lobby, pricey valet-only parking, and surprise amenity fees.

Rooms are comfortable for many, but several note dated decor, compact bathrooms, and noise from traffic or elevators. On-site dining at Tulio earns frequent compliments, though a few guests reported average meals or temporary closures. Overall, expect a centrally located boutique stay with personable service and some trade-offs in space, fees, and building conveniences.

Ruth that works the front desk was amazing during check in time, Tulio was an amazing restaurant and had an incredible staff, especially the woman bartender ( I forgot her name) she went above and beyond to accommodate the drinks we wanted. My compliants come from the elevator being unsafe during usage and opening up before fully coming to a stop on our floor we stayed on. The room was great,but the parking rate is too much, I suggest parking across the street its cheaper, you just won't be able to come and go like you would be using valet, but everything is in walking distance of the hotel location. My biggest complaint is about the other woman don't know her name that worked the front desk Sunday during checkout, not friendly, not helpful, rude and wasn't smiling, attitude was very dry lacked in customer service, Ruth in the evening was amazing once again, I won't be returning here to stay again the rate being too high in my opinion & the end resulting in having a bad taste during our departure of the hotel.

I was disappointed that my reservation for a room with two beds could not be honored. Other than that, it was a nice place to stay. Room was comfortable, clean and quiet. Very convenient to I-5 and Pike Place Market/Downtown Seattle. The valet-only parking was convenient- but expensive.

Pretty expensive hotel to stay at for the elevators to be 90% inoperable. Floor 11 flooded, and we were put on 10 with the back door unsecured and super loud fans and dehumidifiers running. The flooding messed up the elevators. You would have to call down and have someone use the out of order elevator to get to your floor. Nothing like a 10 minute was in 90 degree heat for an elevator. Being told in advance so we could cancel and find another hotel would have been nice. Or a discount for the massive inconvenience. The staff were doing their best and the elevator guy was running everywhere. They are the only reason my score isn’t terrible.

This hotel is conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from Pike Place Market. They offer wonderful services such as wine time and coffee time, and the front desk staff was very courteous. During my stay, the hotel restaurant happened to be under maintenance, but they kindly recommended a restaurant at a nearby partner hotel, so it was not an issue at all. The room was very clean, but unfortunately, the sink drain stopper seemed to be broken, so I was unable to use the sink.

I booked the Kimpton Vintage because I was hoping for a charming retro stay. It was a disaster. The hotel is old, terrible smell in the rooms and hallways, chemical smell in the room, ridiculous room design, poor television, no tea or coffee making facilities in the room, no foyer and a very difficult parking garage to gain access to. I cannot believe that this hotel is part of the Kimptom/IHG family. It is simply NOT POSSIBLE!

The room was in need of repairs, even though it's visible how many times and where those repairs been done before. I got this room mas a deal on Expedia at the same day, but reservation didn't say that it's going to be ADA room, and from past experiences I know that those rooms are usually not nice (worn out, smells weirdly etc). I wish I knew and paid a bit more to stay in a better place. Don't feel like you can trust last minute deals unless you've been to the property before.

Hotel is situated next to a main arterial onto the interstate. Incredibly loud traffic and street racing happening all night long. The second story is actually street level. Room was ok, but so noisy because of location/traffic. There was a Mariners (baseball) game both night so we weren’t able to get a quieter room. None of us slept much at all. The staff was kind, and waived the amenities fees, but weren’t really able to do anything to help. Earplugs were useless- the loud street racing happened about every half hour all night long.

Pros: great location, safe, clean, quiet Cons: bedroom outdated, extremely uncomfortable mattress, rough bedding, not great in-room toiletry products that you see offered at other 4.5 star hotels, room service limited and choppy hours, no in-room mini bar, TV our dated and did not connect to any streaming apps, and remote didn’t work.

We booked a king room, but was given a room with 2 queens. Not ideal for my husband and I but it worked out fine. The room was a good size. Bedding was crisp and nice but the blanket did t have enough weight on it so I was pretty cold since we like to keep the room at 67 degrees. There is no I room coffee station but the lobby had a nice coffee station-which I prefer anyways. It was a 10 min walk to dining and shopping-great location!

This is a very small property. The lobby is tiny. Our room had two beds and a pull out so our room was a fair size for our family of 5. The property is a little dated. I guess I was expecting a little more for the money, especially since the amenity fee doesn't even include any amenities. The location was great though. Close to Pike Place Market.

I booked the Kimpton Vintage hoping it would be a nice experience for my dad and I. Unfortunately, the room was a bit small, the bathroom was very small (had to step beside the toilet to close the door and use the bathroom), the elevator was so loud we could hear it running all night like a heavy porter luggage truly on stone, and I kept hitting my shin on the corner of the sharp angled beds. Worst is all, we were changed a $30 first amenities fee AFTER we booked and paid in full through Expedia. The hotel and room were beautiful, but the experience was not great.

We booked at the Kimpton for our grandsons who were turning 23 on Sept 15th and had tickets for the Beyonce concert. The boys said the hotel was easy to find, had great parking and everyone who worked there from the parking person to the Front desk staff to the maid service were friendly and very helpful. The boys were able to walk down to and back from Lumen Field where the concert was held. A big Shout Out to the Kimpton Hotel Vintage Seattle for making our grandsons 23rd birthdays a huge success!!!

This is not a 4 star hotel. At best, I would characterize it as a budget hotel. And, one that is happy to nickel and dime you. When we arrived, we were informed of the $30/night "amenity" fee. Parking was $60 plus tax or about $75. So, what seemed like a pretty reasonably priced room wasn't so reasonable. The room itself was perfectly ok for a budget property. The bathroom was not. It was tiny and the shower curtain reeked of mold. We returned to the hotel after our first day out to find the room hadn't been cleaned. We were then informed that you have to request housekeeping. When I asked how we would know that, the desk clerk told us we should have been informed of the policy at check in. But, we weren't. And she was the one who checked us in. But... She failed to mention that you have to request housekeeping EACH day. So, we came back to an uncleaned room the second evening too. At checkout, we were informed we had a credit, but they wouldn't apply it to our bill. They said we could use it to buy wine/liquor they had behind the counter or food in the restaurant. Since we were checking out, this wasn't helpful. Again, I was asked how we would have known about this and were told this should have been handled by the check in clerk. Overall, the property felt a little tired. So did the staff.

Stayed during the Holy Week with my wife and daughter. Everthing is working although there's limited space for your stuff. Breakfast were nice, sit in with 1 entree and 1 drink included. Brunch every weekend and that is nice too. Gladdys served our table several times, she is very helpful, her energy really starts your day. There's wine and cake in the afternoons and coffee the rest of the day in the lobby. The hotel is at an incline but a few blocks away from the waterfront, shopping areas and Symphony station of the 1 Line from the airport. The hotel really gives you that vintage feel somewhat subdued atmosphere which I prefer

In 40 years business traveled I cannot think of a hotel that had better customer service and created a more relaxing and inviting environment. The tiny lobby became a gathering place to share a glass of wine to the sounds of a well played guitar. The adjacent restaurant, Tulio, had delivered extraordinary service and delicious Italian dining.

We stayed here over the holidays. The main reason we chose Kimpton is that they allowed all pets (not just dogs) and we traveled with our cat and dogs. The space was clean and adequate and surprisingly quiet for a downtown location. Parking is valet only but I felt very confident that our vehicle was safe. If you are driving your own vehicle I recommend spending extra on the parking. The staff was incredibly polite and helpful. I don’t remember the last time we’ve stayed somewhere where they were so hospitable. The adjoining restaurant Tulio was amazing! They have breakfast, lunch and dinner on the week days but just dinner on Saturday and Sunday. One thing to be aware of is they process your card for potential damages of about $100/day so be prepared for that. Overall we would definitely stay there again.
