Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Hotel Theodore, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

For a quieter experience, consider requesting a room on higher floors (5 or above) to minimize street noise from 7th Avenue. As this is a 3-star hotel, rooms are likely to be renovated with modern furnishings and amenities. Given the hotel's location, rooms on the north side (away from the street) might be a better choice for those who prefer less noise.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Rooms near the elevator on lower floors (1-4) might be noisier due to the proximity to the service entrance and potential foot traffic. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance on 7th Avenue may experience more noise from deliveries and pedestrian activity.

🪟

Best views

Given the hotel's address, rooms on the higher floors (5 and above) might offer views of the surrounding cityscape, including the Olympic Mountains or Puget Sound.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 5 and above are generally likely to be quieter due to their distance from the street and potential noise sources.

🔊 Noise notes

7th Avenue, being a main street, may experience moderate noise levels from traffic and pedestrian activity, especially during peak hours. Additionally, the proximity to the service entrance and elevator on lower floors may contribute to some noise.

Insider tips

Consider requesting a room with a refrigerator, as it may be available in some rooms at this hotel. This can be a convenient amenity for storing snacks and drinks. If you're arriving by car, be aware that parking options may be limited in the area. You may want to explore alternative parking options or arrive early to secure a spot near the hotel.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
