Old gemstone - all that glitters is not gold
While noting this hotel is in a good location close to the Seattle convention centre and shopping. First favorable impressions upon entering a spacious lobby aren't enough to impress. The lobby isn't where you lay your head down. The king suite I stayed in on the third floor was noisy particularly as the single pane (read old) windows don't seem to close completely so the traffic noise never disappears. This contributed to a very poor sleep. Due to bar noise my colleague had to ask for a room change to a higher level and a "courtyard" room (read traffic circle to the front door). And then there are the thin walls - which led to a rude awakening with noisy neighbors having a room party last night. I found the bed adequate the room decor is fine although the carpets could use a clean. The bathroom is well appointed but the tub depth is well below knee height (no luxurious in room soak). I did not use any of the facilities in the hotel due to work schedule. Be forewarned $8.00 for a bottle of water, $20.00/night for internet and ++ parking costs. Ridiculous and better options.
