Travelodge by Wyndham Seattle By The Space Needle

Key card problems are the fault of guests?

proximity to the Space Needle complex

When checking in we were warned that we needed to keep our key cards away from cellphones and credit cards - that it would cause them to not work. Having to return to the room to pick something up before leaving for the day the following morning my partner's key did not work and she picked up my key and it did not work. Neither key had been exposed to credit cards or cellphones. The front desk staffer was seemingly polite but did get snippy when I complained. This excuse is ridiculous as cell phones and credit cards cannot cause a key card to demagnetize. The problem is in the magnetizer, the way it is operated, or the room card readers. It is not the fault of the customer which is implied. I am not happy about this treatment. Also, the breakfast area is way too small to accommodate the number of guests using it. It was a zoo and spilled out into the lobby. There needs to be another more private area to eat and the serving area should be expanded.

Worn out old hotel

The hotel is old and the staff was unfriendly and

Location is close to the space needle is the only thing this hotel has going for itself

The hotel was old and smelled bad. I didn't even want to bring food back to the hotel since the odor was so foul. I tried asking for a refund but since I booked through a 3rd party. The staff named Zac said I couldn't get a refund if I left early. But his supervisor could probably do it he said. But yet he did not ask her to do it. I booked tues-Sunday. But left Thursday Instead with no refund. Just avoid this hotel unless if you are traveling alone and need to save a few bucks.
