This hotel has the best service I have ever experienced. Every employee was extremely helpful and courteous. We loved the valet. The rooms were a good size. They even brought up a fridge and crib for us since we had a baby. Pool and exercise room are nice. One of the only hotels with a good view to the water.

This must be a joke - the rooms were nothing short of a motel quality. Furnitures and room walls were scuffed with scrapes and marks. We went to Seattle for a nice getaway, only to be treated like you're at a one-star hotel. Plus, you had to walk about three city blocks to park your car (and no valets to accomodate you, not even a shuttle service). Do yourself a favor, don't book your reservations here and go somewhere nice.

This hotel is not in the retail section so you need to take a cab to most of the shops, waterfront and nightlife. However, $5 will get you to any downtown venue. Overall - very nice

This hotel provided everything I expected. It has a great location to downtown Seattle - we walked almost everywhere we went. The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. It was well maintained. It's not the Ritz (and neither is the price!) but you won't be disappointed.
