Have higher expectations for a hotel that has "PLUS Executive" Inn in its name
I have to be completely honest about things here. First of all, the location is desirable because it's walking distance (only about a block and a half) from the "Seattle Center" with its attractions like the Space Needle, Children's Museum, Pacific Science Center, EMP museum, and Chihuly Glass Museum. However, the neighborhood needs some clean-up. There is a grey building located kitty-corner from the hotel. This building is completely closed up and has white spray-painted graffiti covering the entire building. There are a few homeless people living in the doorways of that building, so it doesn't make the area around the hotel feel very safe. As we walked to the Seattle Center one Saturday afternoon, there were also women a block away from the hotel advertising to drivers to visit the "Hottie Car Wash." These women were wearing skimpy bikinis, fishnet stockings, and extremely high heeled shoes. I'm sorry to say that they looked more like prostitutes, and we had our 5 and 8-year-old children in tow with us, and the kids started asking all kinds of questions as we tried to usher them as far from these women as possible.
 As I said in my title, I have higher expectations for a hotel that has "Plus Executive" in its name. We stayed at a "Best Western PLUS" and a regular "Best Western" in Yakima, WA and Astoria, OR on this same trip, and both of those hotels were in far better condition and far better managed than this one was. In addition to this, we paid at least twice the amount for a room here in Seattle than at the one in Yakima--although to be somewhat expected, given the location. The computers in this hotel were super slow and internet connections were poor. The breakfast, which wasn't even included in the price of the hotel--unlike the other 2 Best Westerns I stayed in, was mediocre. (You can go down the block to McDonald's for less money and same quality of food).
 The sleep quality was fine. But we had a broken window in our room that no one seemed to notice before I brought it to their attention. There was a 3-inch crack in the glass and the lock was missing from the window. There were no screens on the window, so I would have been afraid of one of my kids throwing things out of the window onto the street below. We did, however, have a fabulous view of the Space Needle.
 There is no swimming pool at this hotel, which may be part of the reason why some of the other hotels may be priced a bit higher. But again, if you're going to pay for a "Full Service" hotel, you might expect it to have a swimming pool.
