Room With an Anti-View: Westin Seattle's Lower Floors Don't Have a Panorama
You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.
Want to know where you can get such a spectacular anti-view of rooftop concrete and the windows of other downtown buildings? This special anti-view comes from the Westin Seattle.
To be fair, this view is the one you get from the tenth floor, which is the first floor of the building to include guest rooms, so it's obviously not intended to be the showcase floor. We figure that when you get higher up in the Westin, the views could improve considerably. In fact, the Westin website advertises its panoramic views, taking in Lake Union, Puget Sound and the nearby Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges, so pick the right room and you'll be better off.
If you're considering checking in to a higher floor of the Westin Seattle in the next week or so, be aware that the cafe inside the hotel will be closed until at least January 1 for some renovations. Pity they're not renovating those tenth floor rooms at the same time and installing some kind of fake view.
