Pros:

Other than the sink draining kinda slow, and the HVAC controls confounding this decidedly non-luddite, those are the ONLY notes i have for the fine folks at the Crocodile. A superb place to stay by any stretch of the imagination, we absolutely loved the free coffee in the morning and the superb staff ( looking at you Thomas!) and would gladly book another stay and suggest that you do as well. You will not regret it.

Pros:

We arrived and nice young lady came to store our luggage since we were early. I explained that my sister in law had twisted her ankle that was swollen on the cruise we just got off if she could please let her ride the elevator with her and the luggage and we would take the stairs and she said no with no empathy of the situation at all. Did not even try to help us with her situation and she had do go through 2 flights of painful stairs multiple times. The bed and pillows are comfortable and the rooms are as listed. No safe. No one ever in the lobby. Texted to see if someone could put my brothers luggage in elevator for early check out. No one ever responded. They are only available after 9 am. Rock music is pretty loud until 11 but we were aware of that when we booked. Only plus for us was that it was close to cruise ship but would not be our choice again.

Pros:

We had a fun stay here. The room was clean, and we really appreciated the tub, especially since we were walking a lot on our trip. We had a good view of the water from our room, and the bed was comfortable, although the pillows lacked structure. The staff were very friendly and we were able to store our bags before check-in and have them in our room once it was ready. They texted us when our room was ready, and it happened to be ready before 4, which we appreciated. Also very close to lots of sightseeing items in Seattle, which made our trip very walkable. The AC/Heater also worked very well for our needs. Overall, fun stay, but it was very pricey considering the lack of amenities. I would definitely recommend it if you are going to see an event at the Crocodile or Madame Lou’s, but outside of that, I don’t know if it’s worth it.

Nice hotel- prep for stairs!
Pros:

We didn't realize there wasn't an elevator...you have to haul your luggage up quite a few stairs before you can get to the lobby. We struggled with our large suitcases- but they offered to help lift.

I'll never stay anywhere else in Seattle
Pros:

I absolutely loved this hotel! It's so homey, it feels more like an apartment. The shared lobby space is cozy & warm & there is free candy in bowls all over the place! You can pick out a record or cassette, grab a drink @ the bar & relax. The rooms are above a live music venue & they give ear plugs in your room, but honestly - I found the music sort of soothing. The bands were done by 12:30am every night. The Here-After is my new favorite Seattle bar, with a comedy stage / movie theater with nightly acts. The hotel in the perfect area, within walking distance to Pike Place & the Space Needle - and right across the street from the Cyclops, which is a close 2nd favorite bar. There is not a front desk, but there was staff there every day, as well as a room you can go into for extra towels/sheets/toiletries/anything you need to replenish. The rooms are very cleaned, have heated bathroom floors & apart from the music downstairs, very quiet. There are great views if you're on the Elliott Bay side of the building. You will have to pay for parking somewhere, or be available to move your vehicle after the free street parking hours are up. Overall, this was an excellent stay!

Pros:

It was a really nice property! The hotel felt very safe and even with a live music venue right underneath it was not too loud at all. With the tv on you didn’t even know they were there, and it was done by like 10:30. They had coffee, tea, water, ice, and even free candy. It was a very nice stay and we would absolutely stay here again
