Everything's nice: rooms, location & staff
We stayed for 4 nites and thought everything was nice except for the $15 parking fee which seemed out of line for this part of Seattle. The suite was spacious & clean; the beds were comfortable with nice linens & plenty of pillows; the bathroom was OK except the towel rack above the toilet was about a foot too low causing hung towels to drape over the top of the tank. The entire staff from the front desk to housekeeping and the gal who poured the excellent local draft beers and wine during happy hour were all pleasant and welcoming. We liked the buffet breakfast and thought the quality and variety of items was very good - but it was a bit cramped & crowded especially around the toaster area. The location is convenient for driving and for walking to the Space Needle and Science Ctr. The local pub, Buckley's, a block and a half away, has a nice selection of local beers and wine which is convenient on the weekends when the Homewood doesn't hold a happy hour.
