The best downtown Seattle hotel.
An awesome hotel, with a warm staff and great facilities. The Olive 8 is on par or less than the competitors downtown in terms of price, but you get so much more. Great breakfasts, supportive services, a state of the art gym, wonderful pool, wet and dry sauna, on-site spa. I could just keep going and going.. 
Anyways - In addition to having brand new everything, it's really the people that makes this experience so wonderful. I maybe a little biased since I stay here almost every week and I don't want to embarrass all of the staff by name dropping them but they are AMAZING. They make a deliberate effort to learn your name and offer you value added services. It's also nice for such a gloomy weather city that everyone always greets you with a smile. It's the little things, right?
Just do yourself a favor and stop reading this review and book the hotel already.
