I stayed here for a five-night work trip, and overall it was a decent experience. The rooms are fairly spacious with full kitchens and even a balcony—though there’s some variation in size between units. My room was on the 9th floor, which meant taking the main elevator to the 8th, walking down the middle of the floor, then transferring to another elevator to go up one more level—slightly inconvenient but manageable. I had a portable fan in the room, which made me wonder if the AC was acting up at times (my coworkers didn’t have one), but it actually helped mask nighttime noise. On check-in day, the front desk agent wrote the wrong room number on my key card. I went straight to the room, tried to use the key, but it wouldn’t open. I called the front desk from the hallway courtesy phone and found out the error—luckily just a small mix-up that could’ve been awkward. Housekeeping tends to leave freshly changed linens piled up in hallways, so if you arrive early, you’ll need to step carefully around the bedding mess. The hotel is within walking distance of shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and the waterfront Public Market—great for exploring after work. I felt safe walking around during the day, though I can see how some might feel differently at night. Every Wednesday, the hotel hosts a mini happy hour in the buffet area—nice touch. It’s also directly across from the convention center, making it ideal for business travelers. On my last night (Friday), the hotel got busier, and a party started next door. Even after security asked them to quiet down, I could still hear drawers slamming, shelves rattling, and doors banging all night. But since I was leaving early the next morning, I just dealt with it. Overall, the price was fair, and its central location made everything easy to access. If I’m back in Seattle for work, I’d definitely consider staying here again.

The cleanliness has definitely improved—clearly some thoughtful updates were made based on guest feedback. Breakfast was refreshed with small daily variations, so it never felt repetitive and the options were fresh and satisfying. The room amenities are well-maintained and comfortable, making for a relaxing stay. Location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the Space Needle and the Chihuly Garden and Glass, perfect for exploring downtown Seattle. Easy access to public transit and nearby attractions makes this hotel a top pick. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Staying at Staypineapple Hotel Five in downtown Seattle was a fantastic experience.

The pineapple-themed design elements and modern interior decor added a fun, vibrant touch that made the space feel joyful and unique. I also appreciated the nearby large parking lot, which offered significantly lower rates than the hotel’s own garage—great for travelers driving their own cars. Overall, it’s a well-designed, convenient, and stylish stay with excellent value, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Seattle.
