Excellent two bedroom suite
Pros:

Excellent two bedroom suite for large group. One room has a large king. One room has two queen. Connected by a living room and kitchenette. Sofa is a full or queen size pull out that is reasonably comfortable. Room is clean and spacious. Bed was so comfortable that I woke up confused thinking I was at home in my own bed. Lol. Continental breakfast was standard — clean and food always has a fresh supply. Staff very friendly. Only thing weird is our room was not cleaned by house keeping crew daily. It did not bother us as we prefer no daily cleaning. Another downside is not many eateries and no laundromat around hotel. It’s downtown skyscraper. Hotel allowed us a late check out on our departure day which I really appreciate. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Residence Inn Stay
Pros:

Location to Fred Hutch was excellent for my mother's cancer treatment. Continental breakfast was also excellent. Clean lobby area and modest airconditioned gym facility. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The suites were dated with worn features, and the low toilets bothered my elderly mother who had knee issues. The shower head was not sealed against the tub wall. Also, sparse cookware for kitchen. If a room has an oven, a baking dish would be nice. Street construction outside of the room was very loud during the day.. Price seemed high for facility quality.

Very Nice Hotel and Area, Enjoyed Thoroughly
Pros:

Very nice location. The views from the balcony room we booked were awesome. Happen to be in town for 4th of July and the fireworks on the lake were gorgeous! Quiet area other than the seaplanes taking off from the lake, but well worth watching. Rooms are clean and well appointed items for the kitchenette.

I enjoyed many evenings on the balcony where I read, or just took in all the views. Strolled the streets and made it to Pike Place Market which is a far walk, about 50 mins but that is because I kept slowing down my family but stopping - lol. The weather was nice - 50s - high 60s most days, which made the walks nice.

We didn't rent a car and used Uber when we wanted to venture out. Parking, is about $41, I think as per the website. Breakfast was a variety of different items daily, but all of the food and drink items were tasty and hot. The restaurant onsite was nice as well, just very small pizza portions as they are flat bread but still good, and the wings were really good. Mostly only offer tapas type food.

Full room cleaning was done once a week, but every other day Housekeeping came for a refresh which was clean towels, and removal of the garbage.

Ubers and taxis arrive quickly once called. Staff is fine, no issues. Front desk guy Jason was pretty cool. I would definitely stay here again. Clean comfy and a great location with lots of food places nearby.

Market Hall, and Meat Moot were really good and affordable, Cafe Ladro, etc. all good and a short walk from the hotel. Mr. Fish at Pike Market was amazing. 10/10 delicious and awesome customer service. I think I have said more than enough. Overall a very relaxing, and fun trip and lots of memories made.
