Good location and nice accommodations for the money.
This hotel was a great value for the money. The location is nice. It is north of downtown and about a $8-$9 cab ride. You are a 5 minute walk though to the monorail that is next to the Space Needle. It is $2.50 one way downtown and only takes a few minutes. The monorail only took a few minutes to arrive every time we took it. It drops you off in a great location that you can walk to Pike Place Market and a lot of other sites. The hotel is located in a neat neighborhood that felt a little safer than downtown after dark. We walked to get dinner at night and coffee in the morning (Starbucks attached to hotel which is nice but go to the local cafes. The coffee there is awesome). Bus stop was only a 5 minute walk too. We took the bus to the University of Washington, Ballard and then back one morning. 
Accommodations were basic but just fine. The bed and linens were simple but they did the job. Nice to have a small refrigerator and wet bar. Bathroom was clean. The overall size of our room reminded us of a European hotel but we didn't come to stay in the hotel so we didn't mind. Staff was friendly and offered us an upgrade to a room with AC for an extra $20. It was cool enough that we didn't need it but it was loud in the morning with the windows open. Typical sounds of a big city (occasional fire truck and delivery truck backing up). 
Rooftop view is everything we had read about. Incredible views of the city. You can bring wine, coffee or whatever and sit there and enjoy. Overall, I would recommend if you are looking for a solid hotel, no frills and good value.
