Nice room, unclean pool area
Fantastic staff--everyone very friendly and efficient, went out of their way to help us with any request. Room was very clean, with well-maintained furnishings. Hotel is on a very busy corner on Capitol Hill, near downtown. You wouldn't know it, though--the rooms are totally sound-proof. We couldn't hear any street noise if our window was closed. Didn't hear a peep out of our neighbors either.
The only issue I have is with the hotel swimming pool. The first day we arrived, the pool appeared to be clean. On subsequent days, the water became dirtier and dirtier--disgusting clumps of hair and other detritus floating in the water. On the third day of our stay, we noticed a dirty, used band-aid on the side of the pool. Each day we went to the pool, the band-aid was in the same exact spot. On our last day (four days later), the used band-aid was STILL sitting in the exact spot next to the pool. Obviously, no one had been to clean the pool or they would have noticed it. Finally decided to leave the pool area when we got into the hot tub--the walls of the hot tub were SLIMY. They had not been like this on the first few days of our stay.
Overall, a very nice, convenient hotel--just stay out of the pool or you will be really creeped out.
