My former Seattle downtown-go to... going downhill
We stopped here by chance on the way back to Vancouver from Portland and I was fairly surprised at the price increase. $129/night versus about $89 when i first stayed here back in 2010. Also there was always free parking provided, but this time they told us they would 'waive' the parking fee of $15, but usually they charged. (I've stayed here 2x before in the last 2 years and was charged neither time).
Also, the front desk people were usually very friendly but this time they were kind of rude.
The hotel rooms are starting to look a bit more run down also.
Still a great location, but they're jacking up the price lately and seem to have an attitude.
I think next time I'll try another hotel because this place is losing it's value.
