Good location and breakfast. Great views over Lake Union
Pros:

Great Views of Lake Union from the balcony. Room facilities. Breakfast included with a good selection. Friendly staff. Convenient location for public transport. Bars and restaurants nearby. Easy parking at a reasonable rate

Cons:

Lack of maid service for the room during our stay until the fourth day. Had to ask for clean towels on the second day. The room decoration is dated and needs a refresh.

The staff is always wonderful. The rooms are always clean. Everything is great and that’s why I book
Pros:

Occasionally, I’ll stay at the Marriott for the Jacuzzi pool for my grandkids to be able to swim and the Jacuzzi was filthy. I mean dirty. No one‘s taken care of. They put out clean towels. The staff is wonderful but the Jacuzzi never works and this is like my third trip there so I need to probably find another place to bring my grandbabies to enjoy because I came there just for that and that’s the only thing the staff is wonderfully kind and nice. It’s clean but you gotta get the pool area together and I’m not talking about cleaning. It was clean, but the Jacuzzi never ever works.

Cons:

The Jacuzzi being broke this is my third trip and like I don’t know what’s going on with that, but it was very dirty very filthy but the pool area was cleaned. The staff was wonderful but like I said again is my third time that I booked there and the Jacuzzi is not working.

It was ok
Pros:

Good lobby and breakfast

The room was very worn, lots of paint chips and dents, and the headboard didn’t seem clean. Also, the TV didn’t work properly.

Overall ok. Great location for the Port just a short taxi ride.
Pros:

Very nice room and overall hotel was good. The open foyer was of a good scale with a nice waterfall feature too.

Cons:

This is a breakfast only hotel. No restaurant for evening meals. The bar opened too late and closed too early. (5 -10pm) although you could purchase bar items from a fridge outside of these times but that was expensive.

Not worth the price
Pros:

I thought for the price I should have stayed at the Warwick or Olive 8. Next time.
Except for the really gross cloudy brown hot tub it was okay.
Booked a room supposed to have a king bed behind a partition, did not get that.
Bed is firm and I do like that.
Pics also showed a tub, but shower only.
Balcony as advertised was enjoyable until upstairs started smoking a cheap cigar.
Breakfast was pretty good, strong coffee, oatmeal, waffles, fruit, yogurt, meats ect.
