Shabby - in a word, and not in the wierd folk artsy way but old and dead tired way
I have stayed at my share of Best Westerns, and for a chain they did ok by me.. but now I need to regroup after this place.
I always like quiet rooms, so they put me on the same side as the building that's being demolitioned. They put me in a room where the garbage bins are under my window. And yes, there is "that" room. Oh, and they put me next to the elevator. I asked for this months ago.
Now for the negatives :
windows, rug all need updating. Rug had stains.
They've got the supposed green items, more like greenwashing. Things like a dispenser for unnamed shampoo/conditioner/lotion.
Location was kind of hidden in the bowels of Seattle despite the Space Needle's closeness. 
Paid way, way too much for this hotel.
Now to the positives: 
Staff though clueless about their whereabouts/location were "nice" enough.
The loud noise of the old a/c drowned out the sounds from outside.
The housekeeping staff seemed to be doing a great job despite what they were stuck working with.
Cheap flat tv screen - (I think I would have preferred an antique tv to match the surroundings.)
A remote that is supposed to keep you from getting germs? How much money did they have to pay to install that feature?
Wifi (FREE, and it actually was fast) (Ah, there's the REAL plus factor)
15.00 only parking fee. Great for Seattle!
Management - FOCUS on what needs to be changed and fixed and stop adding products that just increase the bad contrast of this place!
