I don't mind it at ABVI, but there are other places in town where I can stay.
Pros:

I don't eat breakfast there because it's not very nutritious. Something is wrong when all they offer for breakfast is sugary individually packed oatmeal, bananas, sweetened yogurt and starchy bread. You see where I am going with this. They need to think about the needs of their customers.

Cons:

I am currently homeless but I also work and sometimes pay my weekly hotel stay out of pocket. I have stayed at that property many times and had no problems. I ask the concierge, who I am familiar with, since I am working and I have no money until I get paid the following Friday, could I stay and pay the bill on my next payday. She said no, and now I am homeless again. Just wondering what had changed. It is not like the first time I stayed at that property and made that request.

Pleasant, attentive staff, very convenient for transit to inner Seattle for our stay,
Pros:

Breakfast was good with choices of bread, juice, coffee, yogurt.

Cons:

There was a loud noise from an exhaust fan from the building behind that blasted all day and night. Not much ABV can do about that.
