Best for Bumbershoot/Seattle Center!
The staff here is wonderful! The guy who checked me in was fabulous–sorry I didn't get his name–he answered all of my questions about making my flight back in time transportation-wise + was super friendly + knowledgeable about getting around the area without a car, as well as the vibe of the area, including live music. The location was perfect for attending Bumbershoot at Seattle Center, just a few blocks away. There's a 24 hour Metropolitan market just down the street that has amazing produce + veg-friendly options. Bamboo Garden is a homey vegan restaurant a few blocks in the other direction open late. I really appreciated the convenience of the in-room refrigerator and microwave to save on meals. I swim laps–the pool's small, but it did the trick–I was told to just ask at the front desk if I wanted to swim late. The rooms are quite large for the same price you'd pay in Manhattan for a shoebox-sized room, and the pillow-top beds are super comfy. It's about a 20 minute brisk walk to Pike Place Market, or Belltown nightlife, and the close-by monorail connects with light rail to downtown or the airport, at a substantial savings compared to car service/taxis. Highly recommended!
