We chose to stay at this hotel after flying into SEATAC to start our trip to catch a ferry to Whidbey Island.
Pros:

We stayed in room 302 which was a standard king room for $174.80/$198.82. The room is a good size. The bed and pillows were comfortable. There is a lighted mirror in the bathroom. The shower had good water pressue. The towels were high quality. The Dove products in the bathroom were nice, especially the liquid hand soap. Make up remover wipes were provided. I wish a plastic laundry bag would have been provided. A plus was fresh ground coffee beans were used to make coffee. The front desk clerk was very friendly when we arrived. The breakfast provided could have been better. The cheese omelet had too much cheese for me, however my husband liked them. The orange juice, potatoes, and cinnamon rolls were just okay, so I ate a bowl of Froot Loops instead. I never saw a breakfast attendant wiping down tables and restocking food items. The front desk clerk was not very friendly when we departed. The elevator was too slow.

Overall, my stay was extremely disappointing and did not meet my expectations.
Pros:

I did not like a lot of things, I only liked the parking lot.

Cons:

There were several aspects of my stay that I found disappointing. To begin with, the lobby layout was confusing. Upon entering the hotel, it was difficult to identify the front desk because it resembled a kitchen counter, especially with a coffee station located immediately beside it. This created unnecessary confusion during check-in.

In addition, I found the food selection to be very limited, and the lobby area often felt crowded. Considering the size of the hotel and the fact that there is only one small elevator, the high volume of guests made moving around the property less convenient.

Another concern was the strong chemical odor throughout the hotel when I first arrived. The smell was so intense that it irritated my throat, leading me to believe that a harsh cleaning product had recently been used.

The most significant issue, however, was the lack of a restful night's sleep. The refrigerator in my room produced a loud, continuous noise that sounded like an old engine struggling to run. In addition, there was persistent noise coming from the hallway, which I believe was generated by the ice machine. The combination of these disturbances made it extremely difficult to relax or sleep comfortably.

Overall, my stay did not meet my expectations. Unfortunately, due to the issues with the lobby design, limited amenities, strong chemical odor, and excessive noise, my experience was far from enjoyable.

NOT VERY CLEAN AT ALL
Pros:

This was one of the more disappointing properties we stayed at in the Seattle area. Was not clean at all! The dining area chairs are all worn and look like they were purchased second hand! The floor tiles in front of the elevator have sticky stuff that has been there since we arrived, it is as if know one cares at all about cleanliness! The room sofa had white stains on it. I'm afraid to guess what that is all about! The room it self is fair at best as far as cleanliness. I will state that the bed was very comfortable and we did get a good night sleep even though the room was fairly clean. We stayed it what was described as a Suite room!

Pros:

I stayed here for one night during a work trip. The facility was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. They had parking available for my box truck, which was very convenient. The breakfast was also excellent and offered a good selection of options.
