Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

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

Best rooms to request

Request rooms on the higher floors (above 10th floor) of the hotel. These rooms tend to be quieter due to the hotel's layout, which puts the elevator and service entrance on lower floors, reducing street noise and elevator traffic.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1-5) as they are closer to the street and may experience more noise from traffic and pedestrian activity on 5th Avenue.

🪟

Best views

Rooms on the north or south side of the building (floors 11-18) may have views of the surrounding cityscape, including the Space Needle and Puget Sound.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 11-18 are generally quieter due to their higher elevation and distance from the street and elevator.

🔊 Noise notes

Guests can expect some noise from the elevator and service entrance, but it's generally minimal. However, rooms on lower floors may be more susceptible to street noise from 5th Avenue.

Insider tips

Parking can be a challenge in Seattle, so consider using public transportation or ride-sharing services. The hotel is a short walk from several bus stops and the International District/Chinatown Light Rail Station. Request a room with a fridge if you plan to stay for an extended period or have specific dietary needs. The hotel may not have a full kitchen, but a fridge can be useful for storing snacks and beverages.

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
