I'm looking to hear from people who have stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel or the Alexis Hotel. My husband & I will be in Seattle for one week in October & are considering both hotels.

Alexis is in a different class than the Roosevelt (as in way nicer.) No brainer.

Agree. Alexis is the "nicer" by far, but the Roosevelt is serviceable (I have sent out-of-towners there and they thought it was fine for the price).

The only thing the Roosevelt has going for it over the Alexix is it's location--it's nearer shopping (Nordstroms, etc.), movie theaters, etc.

isn't it quite a bit cheaper?

If you can do with having just one bed in the room, you might want to look at priceline. Check out the website biddingfortravel.com. They have a lot of good info!

Our first choice is the Alexis, but I've read some reviews that say it's like being in a museum - scared to touch anything, cold not cozy, etc.

I didn't find it that fancy. I've not stayed there myself, but visited a friend from out of town who had a room there. It's very nice, but not THAT nice (enough to be intimidating) IMO.
