Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, friendly service, and a perfect location close to popular attractions. The dining options are somewhat pricey, and the facilities are well-kept.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with a lovely touch of fresh fruit and infused water. However, the lack of furnishings was noticeable. The service was exceptional, from the front desk to housekeeping, although having to change rooms was a small inconvenience. The location, while close to key attractions, was a bit challenging to access. Dining options were available outside the hotel, and though a bit pricey, joining the rewards program helped. Overall, a good stay but with some room for improvement.
I felt like I was staying in a new, homey space with a walk-in shower and a lovely bathroom. However, there was a bit of dust around. The hotel is not your typical cookie-cutter place but more like a cozy home-away-from-home. The inconvenience of having to take out my wallet for the room key was a minor hassle.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, despite the noise from multiple parties and traffic. The room was spacious with a large sitting and entertaining area, and a separate bedroom that was extremely clean and very comfortable. The service was top-notch, from the valet to the doorman and concierge, who were all very friendly and helpful. The location was fantastic, being a short walk to Pikes Place and other downtown attractions, although the constant noise from the air-conditioning and fridge was a bit bothersome. The dining experience at the Bookstore cafe/bar was amazing. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel has a convenient location perfect for exploring Downtown Seattle and all the tourist attractions. The rooms were comfortable but prone to noise from the hallway and elevator. The service was exceptional, offering a warm and welcoming experience. Dining options were available within the hotel at the Bookstore Bar, albeit slightly expensive.
This hotel was a great fit for us with a small child; the rooms were spacious and allowed plenty of room for them to play, although the bright light from the window made it challenging to sleep. The staff was incredibly friendly from the moment we arrived, making us feel welcome. While the standard room suited our needs well, it could benefit from a curtain for the window.
The hotel is ideally located within walking distance of Pike's Market, offering a unique and enjoyable stay. The rooms are spacious, clean, and luxurious, providing a comfortable retreat. The service is friendly and accommodating, making guests feel welcomed and well taken care of. The dining options may need improvement for a more satisfactory experience.
