Good value and location
We were staying in Seattle for 2 nights before departing on a cruise. Hotel Five was a good choice for our needs. It's located south of the Space Needle and all the attractions there, and north of Pike's Place Market. Reasonable walks to both places. The hotel itself is very funky - bright colors and interesting decor. The furnishings are not of the highest quality, (Ikea-like), but they were okay. Towels were very thick and fluffy, bedding and pillows were very good. The room was clean, and housekeeping refreshed complimentary bottled water and in room Keurig coffee daily. Noise was not a problem. Our only real complaint was with the A/C unit. The compressor did not seem to be working. The air in the room was very humid. Since the outside temp was cool, the inside temp remained acceptable for the most part. We called the front desk twice to resolve the issue. They could not seem to find a problem. Our friend's room was much cooler and drier, so we knew we weren't imagining the problem. Upon check-out, the front desk did apologize and discount the room rate.. an adequate compromise. One funny note: do not be startled when flushing....toilets had a LOT of noisy suction!!!
