A nice quiet hotel in a lovely location
I booked this hotel because I wanted to be in downtown Seattle but did not want to pay the high prices at some of the other hotels. I was pleasantly surprised that the hotel was in a cute, up and coming area with plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, Starbucks and everything else within easy walking distance, inlcuding Seattle Center and the Space Needle. From the Space Needle it is an easy monorail ride to downtown. Also, the hotel was within walking distance of Pike Place and the Scuplture Park.
The hotel itself was clean, the staff were efficient and friendly and the breakfast was well stocked (go early though on weekends as there are lines when breakfast is free!). You have to pay to park, but that's the norm in Seattle. All in all, an excellent choice as I had a full bedroom, living room and large bathroom for less than one of the trendy downtown hotels!
