King Tut Visit
My husband and I had purchased tickets to see the King Tut exhibit at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle for the 30th of October and so we had decided to make it a short holiday. We had left in the pouring rain on Monday 29th from Langley. Our first hour on the road was very dark and gloomy with pockets of pouring rain and the second hour of our trip was clearing skies and some sun as we approached Seattle. We had arrived at the Roosevelt Hotel around noon. This hotel is right smack in the city center, a very stately and elegant hotel. The concierge took us up to our room on the 15th floor. Our room was very large and clean. A very comfortable king size bed with lots of fluffy pillows, two big windows with no spectacular view but the taller building across the street and the street below. It was just as exciting to have that taller building as a view as it would have been to have the ocean view, for instance. The service at the desk was impeccable - friendly, very polite, knowledgeable and beyond expectations. In the entrance to the room there was a black granite small counter with a coffee maker with all the necessities, a small sink and a bar bridge. A desk and chair under one of the windows, an easy chair in the corner and beside that a sofa-bed to accommodate more than two. The renovated bathroom was small but sparkling clean and a closet right across from it. In all, this room was very comfortable and very amenable to watching the large TV, attached to the wall, from anywhere you sit or lie. We would certainly go and stay at the Roosevelt again with pleasure.
