Great location
We spent 6 nights the El Gaucho Inn over the July 4 week. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We really appreciated the leather sofa and chair, it was great to have a place to sit and relax at the end of the day. The free Starbucks coffee in the lobby was good every morning, they even had decaf and tea for the folks who don't want high test.
Every evening there was ice water with lemon slices or ice tea in the lobby with a bowl of fruit. The staff was courteous, especially the valets who parked and retrieved our car for us.
The location in Belltown is really convenient. We walked to Pike Place market, the Space Needle, and to lots of resturants. Although the El Gaucho doesn't have an elevator, they did bring our bags up to the second floor on a freight elevator so we didn't have to carry them ourselves up the stars.
The only amenity we would have liked was a balcony, or some place to sit on a deck. The hotel is only a few blocks from the water and a roof top deck or something would have been great.
