Travel: The Maxwell Hotel

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of staying at the Maxwell hotel in Seattle, Washington. The hotel is known for its non-smoking, dog-friendly amenities. It is claimed to be in the top 10 "trendiest" U.S. hotels. The staff at the front desk are incredibly friendly, and hold a high respect and helpful attitude towards their guests.

A great place for conventions to be held, families to enjoy the kid-friendly pool with glass tile artwork, or lovers to get away and enjoy a lavish suite, the Maxwell is a warming, inviting hotel. I was very impressed by the chic, modern decor (not to mention the huge pineapple on lobby's floor). When you leave for the day/night to explore the city, they often set out small vanilla cupcakes topped off with small pieces of dried pineapple. While I didn't quite understand the pineapple theme, the "Maxwell officials" listed that pineapples back-in-the-day were a sign of extreme graciousness, and a very rare fruit!

The hotel rooms are bold, stylish, and comfy. Complete with a high speed wireless access and a big screen TV in any average room, your party is bound to be in tech Heaven. The only negative I found--the hotel is not easy-on-the-eyes. It is full of lime green, bright yellow, and deep red colors with modern artwork of jazz bands and random splashes of color.

The pros beat out the cons--I will definitely consider staying here again, whether it is overnight or a week-long vacation. To learn more about what the Maxwell has to offer you and your family, click here.
