The Maxwell Hotel

This fun hotel is one of downtown Seattle’s funkier options; it’s operated by Pineapple Hospitality, a chain of reasonably priced boutique hotels distinguished by colorful art and design and silly touches like stuffed animals on the beds. Accented with bright pops of color in both the hotel’s common spaces and its guest rooms, there’s also an indoor pool (filled with inflatable floating flamingos, of course), an on-site espresso bar and complimentary bicycle rental. Slippers provided for your stay can go home with you free of charge, and a select number of rooms offer accommodations for up to two dogs.
