Hotel Max in Seattle, Washington

On our road trip south along the Pacific Coast, my friend Mike and I wanted to make the most of our time in each city by being right in the action. In Seattle, Washington we stayed at the trendy Hotel Max. Located right downtown we were walking distance to Pike Place Market, the Space Needle and tons of great attractions and restaurants.

I loved the style of this hotel. Rock memorabilia, pop art on the wall, and even large graphics on each of the hotel room doors. The side of the building featured a bold "Seattle Doesn't Settle" logo, which reminded me of the infamous "Keep Portland Weird" slogan in Portland, Oregon. Hotel Max was a bit pricey, but still competitive for downtown Seattle. All and all, it was a great place to call home for a couple of days and soak up that Pacific Northwest vibe.
