TownePlace Suites by Marriott-Seattle Southcenter

I had a difficult time locating the property, but mostly b/c the room wasn't as clean as I expected it to be. The floors weren't really clean, and some of the repairs/maintenance weren't done neatly so it makes your mind wonder what else wasn't done... (i.e. sloppy caulking, etc). Not a big deal but I was surprised.

Our family spent two nights here. We specifically chose this hotel because it offered a king suite with a sofabed. We needed the extra bed for our son. The place is well-maintained and the Front Desk was very helpful. We're glad 'breakfast' was offered and was filling and delicious.

Upon arrival to the hotel after a flight that landed in Seattle at approximately 10:30 pm, We were assigned a room that apparently had not been occupied for a while and thus had not been thoroughly cleaned. I seemed to detect a faint foul smell (possibly pet urine) and there were cobwebs (with dead insects) in one corner of the kitchen area near the floor. Early the next morning (too tired and too late to address at late evening checkin), I brought it to the attention of the front desk staff and the person graciously and promptly assigned us to a cleaner room. Although that room was much nicer, the bath tube faucet knob controlling the hot and cold water was very loose (broken) yet still functional. The desk lamp also did not work. Having a one night reservation with this same hotel after returning from our cruise, we were assigned a nice and clean room. However, the front entrance door to the hotel room didn’t properly fit within the door frame. Which means, every time you left the room, you had to make sure the door was shut by pulling it closed. It seems to me that this was a property that was recently purchased by Marriot and is in the process of being “upgraded” while also being rented out.
