Valet's the Only Way.
Residents of Hotel Monaco Seattle have found themselves at odds with the absence of free, on-site parking. Visitors are forced to accept the fees for hotel valet or seek parking elsewhere. There are, however, at least two public parking lots within a four-block radius of the contemporary estate.
negative:
Shoddy Wi-Fi.
While Monaco Seattle provides complimentary Wi-Fi to those assuming residence, some former visitors have expressed their discontent over experiencing little-to-no Wi-Fi connection from their rooms. Connectivity is slightly more-guaranteed in certain residents' facilities, however the speed at which browsing is permitted may provoke frustration.
