Additional cost, kills the deal.
Pros:

The interior looks great. Great staff too.

Cons:

No parking in the hotel and the overnight parking outside is expensive and you need to bring your luggage accross the street to the hotel so its inconvenient. There's also deposit and additional fees.

Such a beautiful memory created for my first time stay in Seattle
Pros:

The location was pretty nice for my first time stay in Seattle. The room was perfect for myself, there was a slight smell of old water in the room but nothing that ruined the experience but it was noticeable at first. The valet service was great! And the staff are amazing!

Cons:

Just the weird old water smell at first when I walked in the room, nothing too bad to ruin the experience and the room was still spotless.

Cons:

There's a relatively high deposit to be paid at check-in that I wasn't informed of, so take that into account when planning your trip.

Elevator seemed a little off, when going to 10th floor it got stopped many times and sent back down
Pros:

I like how close we were to everything in Seattle we wanted to see and visit.

Cons:

We were unable to use hotel parking so we parked across the street. Unfortunately our car was broken into and a window broken. Thankfully nothing was taken and got car window repaired at a local shop.
