Hyatt Place Seattle Downtown

When we were in Seattle, we stayed at the Hyatt Place Seattle Downtown one day before our cruise and another day when we got back. My aunt chose this hotel for it's proximity (around 15 minutes or around US$15 by cab) to the Cruise Terminal.

I loved the location of the hotel on 6th Avenue. We had such a great view
of the Space Needle, I didn't feel any need to see it an closer.

The front desk staff are also trained as Starbucks baristas,
but they don't carry the Venti size at the hotel.

We weren't really that close to Pike Place Market (it's around a 20 minute walk), but the good thing is the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle anywhere within a 1 mile radius covering most of the downtown area. We normally took the shuttle to go downtown, then you can call the hotel for a shuttle pick-up, or you could also just opt to walk back to the hotel which we did a few times.

waiting for the shuttle.

The van was just the right size for our group. Hahaha.

The rooms at Hyatt Place were also big and comfortable. On our first night, we shared a room with Auntie Celit, Me, Ady and Sofia, but on our last night after the cruise, we shared the room with Pa and Ma, so Ady, Sofia and myself shared one bed.

We had a room with 2 queen beds.

There was also a large couch in the living room side.
I think someone could also sleep here comfortably.

Across the couch, there's a table for working,
and a counter with the complimentary coffee and tea.

Then on another side, there's a toilet and tub, with the sink for
washing up outside the bathroom.

The room was big enough for our hole group to hand out and have pizza delivered for dinner, our for Sofia to get everyone together for Bingo Night.

Everyone had to pay US$1 to get 2 Bingo Cards to play. Hahaha.

Another great thing about the location was the Walgreens across the street that was open until midnight. We normally went over before calling it a night hoping to find something more to buy to fill our luggage with, as Seattle was our last stop before flying back home.

You can also see the Space Needle at night behind Walgreens.

Sof and I found the Clearance Bin at Walgreens and it took a lot of
self-control to walk away from the 1Direction paraphernalia on sale.

Another great thing about Hyatt Place is the breakfast! In my experience, the hotel buffets in Asia are normally so much better than the hotels in Europe and the US where you normally just get some orange juice, weak coffee and bread, but at Hyatt Place they had a complete spread of food that we love. 

It's generally help yourself to everything. You just enter and eat.
They don't even have a person standing by to ask for your room number.

They had fruit (and grapefruit), muesli and yogurt.

Different breads and pastries

Single serve cereal and oatmeal

This is my favorite section.

I love brown and serve sausages so much, I honestly don't know
how many sausages I ate on the whole trip!

Fruit, Water, Milk and Juice

Ady had the brilliant idea of eating her toasted bagel with honey
and cream cheese so I bummed some from her.

The breakfast crowd.

Another plus of having Walgreens nearby...
It was easy enough to run and get Sofia some bubble bath.

Bath tub #availed just before we left!

If we were going to take another Cruise departing from Seattle, I would love to stay at Hyatt Place again. But if we were just visiting Seattle to shop, I would probably look into staying at the other hotels closer to Pike Place market.  just saying.
