Super - particularly if you take the Clipper from Victoria
I needed a weekend away, but didn't have much time. I took the Clipper from Victoria and stayed at the Edgewater in September 2012. It was so easy - it is a 5 minute walk from the ferry, and perfect place to stay if you want to shop/dine in Seattle and don't have a car. Yes, it is about 15 minutes to the main part of downtown, but I love to walk, and it is a nice walk. It is also right on the ocean, the restaurant feels like it is hanging right over the water. The restaurant is also a great place with great food that is completely comfortable if you are a solo diner. The rooms were very small but for just me it wasn't an issue. The gym was good, the decor very nice - no complaints, and would do it again. Warning though, I wouldn't do it with kids - rooms too small and too far from main attractions for small kids to walk. Otherwise, great!
