Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a convenient location for exploring Seattle but has some downsides like ongoing construction work and limited dining options. The rooms are clean, a great size, and well-located, making them suitable for a comfortable stay, although they may feel a bit small for four guests. The service is friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. While the location is excellent for accessing key spots in Seattle, it can be limiting without private transport due to the lack of available services nearby. The dining experience offers traditional meals and a great banana bread French toast. The facilities meet expectations but may be affected by construction noise.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, though a bit pricey, were nice, spacious, and clean. The view from my room was a mix – an apartment building directly behind the hotel but also a large window with a view of water activities on the lake, including sailboats, paddleboarders, swimmers, and seaplanes.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, while not as modern, were still nice, spacious, and clean. However, the view was obstructed by construction. The service was excellent with quick responses and friendly staff, though the view did not match the online photos. The location, despite the ongoing construction, offered beautiful views of Lake Union and easy access to nearby attractions. The dining experience was enjoyable with good food choices and helpful staff. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. Watching the seaplanes land and take off from our room was cool, but the street noise and odd smell from the pillows were a downside. The service was very friendly, but there were a few hiccups. The location was convenient for exploring Seattle but had some construction issues. The dining was passable, and the facilities were decent overall.
